Good day guys, Ive ordered the AM-5 and awaiting delivery. What i really like about it is the 10 year unlimited cycle warranty and one can see that its first life cells as its rated for 6000 cycles. 10 years does indicate their confidence in the battery and their commitment. ( i get worried when i see 3 years only). Also has a 1C rating When i have mentioned this to installers i get a very half hazardous look and also "are you sure, 10 years". In my mind it might be 1) They had bad experiences with old hubble batteries and for that reason they developed a bad taste 2) They have a affiliate program with other brands. One always talks bad about the other That is why i love the forum because i want to reach out to you guys, Does anyone have some feedback on these, should i return it for a refund or should i use it and block the haters ?

Thanks @Frani - i have all the equipment, just need someone to connect it, coc it and ecsa certify the connection for CT regestration

Good day I have 1 of the following panels : https://www.sustainable.co.za/products/ja-solar-455w-mono-percium-half-cell-solar-panel?variant=42622031429872 I need to buy 3 more panels but cant get stock. Can i pair them with these ? https://www.sustainable.co.za/collections/rigid-solar-panels/products/ja-solar-460w-mono-percium-half-cell-solar-panel Thanks in advance

Hey there Guys, Ime looking for someone to assist with a installation of a sunsynk 5kw in Strand, Cape Town. I already have the panels mounted and the design approved by CTC but i do need help connecting the inverter to the DB board and to give me a COC... Cane someone please recommend an electrician that can assist that will not charge me a heavy solar tax.

After some consideration ime leaning towards the sunSync. Ime already putting down cash and 7K is a fraction of the total cost. thoughts ?

Thanks for the responses guys. This seems to always be the tough question.

@madness_za What's your budget ? - If possible i dont spend more that 20K on the inverter. With the prices increasing the way they have been the Sunsynk just keeps moving away What's your primary requirement ? - My house does not consume a lot of power (10 unis a day), Ime looking for an inverter that can carry my house in loadshedding and also save me a few units a day. I know all 3 those inverters can "blend" with Eskom and for that reason they are on my list. I have a small Axpert that i wrote some code for so i can monitor my Axpert inverter on Victron VRM so the monitoring is not an issue. Also i want to be able to use the grid if i go above 5kva, so the inverter must bypass to deal with the small spike. Must be something that can be repaired locally (cape Town) by me or by an installer. What's your seconday/nice to have - i would like to add a second unit to be there in case of emergency ALSO low fan noise haha

Thanks @Antonio de Sa What i like about having 2 units is that ime covered if one of them breaks. it gives me a disaster recovery strategy !! What size solar array do you have ?

Thanks, ime looking at the Axpert king 2 but the sunynk is a "nice to have" but at almost 8k - 10k price dif ime not yet convinced. Hey there, thanks for the feedback. i really do like the 2 mppt charges because it enables me to have a second string milking the morning sun.

Thanks @mzezman for the response. do you have the Luxpower ?

Good day Ime trying to make up my mind. Ime looking for a 5k inverter to use with a hubble am5 but ime torn between the Axpert, luxpower and Growatt. the thing leading me to the King is the size of the community using them and the support you can get. Does anyone have a preference.

@Coulomb - have the opportunity to to get rid off this inverter, upgrade to 3kva or add some cash and get the Growatt... any suggestions ?

@Coulomb - make sense, thanks for the wisdom. Ime going to have a call with their tech and will give feedback.

@Coulomb - thanks - please share how i can do that. I dont mind loosing the calibration.

No i have not. My current version : U1 09 52 U2 03 39 That would be really awesome. Thanks for the assistance. Is there not a way i can "factory reset" the unit to get it into the previous state? Just for ref: https://www.rctzone.co.za/power-solutions/inverter/off-grid-inverters/rct-axpert-vm-2k-24v
