Most Efficient Aircons? Samsung or LG or...Any Help Is Appreciated!
You need to install inverter type aircon's. The claimed consumption is exactly what it says claimed. Also check the support and spares availability of the manufacturer.

Can Solar Panels saves money is it true?
This will depend in the type of install you want to do. If your loads are high in the day you can opt for a on grid system without batteries. The upfront is lower. If your loads are high at night you will nee a lot off batteries making the upfront cost higher. With both type of installs you will save money in the long run. With the increase in the electricity price the payback will also increase year by year.

Need help to make sense of it all.
If your panels are in series you are going to have mayor issues. One a single mppt this is not the correct way of connecting panels. The only way is the same amount of panels on each side connected in parallel. This is still not optimal.

Sunsynk 50kw 3ph AC breaker size - arguing with my installer.
Just remember that the work of the Breaker is to protect the cable and not the Inverter. No use to have a 120A breaker with a cable that cant handle the amps.

my iverter fan running 7/24
Unfortunately yes. These inverters can be very noisy and the fan is constantly on.

Savings
Most of time I make it through the night but sometimes I use a small amount of grid in the morning. This is because of the geyser that is heating from 4-6 AM. If the wife use the stove during the night it will result in the battery being drained a bit to much.

SunSynk overcharging batteries (Pylontech, Shoto)
Can you confirm that your charging voltage is still 53.2V after your update?

Pylontech battery running hot when fully charged
The inverter is an Sunsynk 8kw. Battery comms via CAN. I cant adjust the voltage with Comms in place.

Pylontech battery running hot when fully charged
Hi guys. Just a question maybe someone have seen something similar. One of my batteries is getting very hot when it has fully charged. While charging all of them are about the same but as soon has they hit 100% the one will get quite hot. The minimum and maximum temp on the cells seems fine so I assume this is the temp sensor inside the enclosure. After about an hour it will drop back to the same temp as the rest. Setup is Sunsunk 8Kw inverter with 5 Pylontech batt running solar assistant. Battery comms via CAN. Can it maybe be the balancer that is creating this heat?

Anybody using generator linked in via rectifier?
You can contact Semikron. They specialize in rectifiers. They build Rail and trolley systems for the industry. They should be able to assist in any rectifier that you need. They used to build 3 phase 1600V 2000A rectifiers for our mine.

Upgrading from Kodak King to Sunsynk 8kw.
Hi Guys. The time is finally here to upgrade. I am still unsure what to do. Any comments/concerns regarding Pylontech batteries especially the UP5000. I haven't had any problems with the 3 US3000 up to now.

Can my setup support 2 additional us3000 as is
Hi Woody. 3 x Us3000c batteries can deliver 5kw(+-100A) of power. The 35mm² cable can handle that but with 4 batteries I would by a extra cable pack. The 8kw can draw 190 Amp's from the batteries when pulling full load. You will have to limit that on the inverter to protect the batteries. For now the 160Amp fuses should be sufficient.

Schedule Axpert inverter to charge the battery
Hi there. I believe It is possible if you use something like Solar assistant. Just not sure if this will be available on the Expert machine. Best will be to contact them.
