Deven

Bump

Almost brand new. Used in a back up setup for load shedding. If memory serves probably only 2-3 events since installed. 2 months old. Never drained more than 20%. Have 2 of them. In Edenvale. R3100 each

Thank you @Coulomb appreciate the feedback. Something strange I am noticing now, well a couple strange things. 1. For the last week or so I am noticing the LED downlight in the house flicker frequently. Thought it was the inverter flipping between grid and battery, but does not seem like it. 2. We have been away for a few days. While away the consumption was between 300-400w. Funny thing the inverter never went into PV Charge mode and used grid the whole time. Seriously baffled

Thanks for the reply guys. So the company I bought it from reference the Growatt data sheet for the inverter(https://www.solarwaysuppliers.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/spf-32000-hvmmmm.pdf) Heres a pic of the sticker on the side of the inverter:

Hi All My name is Devendran. Been reading a lot of posts on this forum and found it to be a valuable resource when I was doing my research and deciding what kind of set up I need to invest in. I wanted to see if there are any thoughts on my setup, so here’s my first post. Any feedback would be much appreciated. So to start my objective initially was to get a back up system with the intention of upgrading to solar to save some bucks(esp after last Eskom increase 🙈) So in Jan this year I got a Solarway Sunforce 3kw(looks like it’s an axpert or a clone of one) https://www.solarwaysuppliers.co.za/product/24v-sunforce-3kw-inverter/ and 2 x 150Ah Allgrand batteries https://sp-energy.co.za/product/allgrand-150ah-battery/ Got all that hooked up and worked a charm for back up power. Come 1 July the Eskom price increase and I decided time now to get some panels. So I got 3 x 490w Canadian panels https://www.solarwaysuppliers.co.za/product/490w-canadian-solar-panel/ and hooked them up in parallel. The inverter has a total limit of 1500w of Pc input so figured this would be a good setup. a couple obversations now: 1. I never get over 1000w from the panels. 2. The inverter does not seem to want to run off battery if there is no Pv input. So trying to use what was collecting during the day at night seems impossible. Thereby limiting my savings on eskom bill. 3. after a lot of reading. It seems like I should have rather gone for a Deye inverter, seems like it has the ability to blend sources and can even then power my geyser and add to savings achieved, any thoughts? 4. I would like to add another panel to try help get closer to the 1500w limitation on the inverter. But not if my setup is incorrect and I can get that from the current 3 panels. thanks in advance for any feedback.
