Just send Wimpie a WA. he will sort you.

Not available anymore. If a shop has it is old stock and will not get again.

Your are correct, you can see that I am already mixing different size batteries. 2 x up5000 and 3 x 3000Us . The problem is the new UF5000 isn't compatible because it is n 16s battery.

Hi guys. I currently have 5 Pylontech batteries. 2 x 5000UP 3 x 3000US They are current in 1 bank to my Sunsynk 8kw inverter. I seems the 5000Up was discontinued and I am unsure if there will be an replacement battery available that is compatible with the 15s batteries. Is there any other brand battery that anybody can recommended to connect in the pack to replace my current setup or do I take the loss and go for 16s batteries?

Maybe change the low and high voltage settings on the inverter. Reduce charging current more and if it connect increase. If possible check the frequency output of your generator. It must be close to 50Hz

I have the same type of unit. But mine is very old and still working 25kg Salt (A GRADE)

The best is to install a dedicated Softener. They come in diffenent sizes so make such it can meet all your needs. Mine uses 2 bags of salt in 3 months.

I used Cat5 shielded cable to extend my CT cable to 40 meters. No issues. You can even double up on the wires used.

There are a few different ways of doing it. You can combine your 2 string as mentioned and add more panels. You can leave your panels and add the victron with its own panels to boost morning or afternoon.

This is just basic drawing. I did not include any protection. Mppt setting the same or just below inverter voltage. Only issue is that you cant see the charging of batteries on the interver page. Will need to monitor separately via the victron app.

Morning Rory. Have you had a look at adding a Victron Mppt directly to your batteries to assist with charging. You could add the mppt with its own panels to charge the batteries. Just need to do the setting correctly.

Cable from top batt Positive and negative. Bottom battery Positive and negative. Both Positive connected to Fuse Isolator and both negative to fuse isolator

For an 8kw inverter it is a must. That is what I am running. 3x us3000 2 x up5000 8kw Sunsynk

It will depend on the size of your inverter but it is always better to double up on the cables.

Bom dia. Teremos muito mais informações para ajudar. Tipo de inversor Tipo de bateria Como o Assistente Solar se conecta a ambos? Atenciosamente

Looking good Yoda. Great utilization of the available roof space and double the solar. Well done

They are the US3000c yes.

I have 3 x US3000 and 2 x UP5000 connected together.

The geyser wise uses a smart Thermostat that sits in the normal thermostat position near to the water inlet. It will drop quickly when cold water enters the geyser.

Also try to put n load on the Generator before connecting. The generator needs to ramp up it revs to keep the voltage and frequency stable.

Until someone gets electrocuted. Then he will have to answer for not grounding the gate motor. Not bashing You , just saying

These Victron Inverters are fan less. https://www.sunstore.co.za/collections/solar-inverters-chargers/products/victron-energy-quattro-48v-inverter-charger?variant=33098227548194

Pylontech you can mix the different size batteries. I have 3 Us3000 and 2 UP 5000 connected together. Newest always the master battery. For software just search on the forum. It is available

For totally off-grid I think Victron is the way to go.
