  2. Then itโ€™s probably the overcast causing it. I know my production is down to the fact that Iโ€™m more conservative with my battery settings due to the stage 5,6 load shedding. Not draining them as low at night because there wonโ€™t be AC available if needed. Bit of juggling activity going.
  3. Could some of your loss be due to panel deterioration?
  4. Thanks for the new version Yani. http://www.multisibcontrol.net/ Much appreciated.
  5. I think its more like this Volts x Amps = Watts 75x52,2 =3915
  6. https://www.takealot.com/mellerware-900ml-piccolo-mini-cordless-kettle-white/PLID36957259 This works for me.
  7. There can be a difference in the SOC and it will sort itself out when you charge the stack full again. At least that is what happens on my Stack.
  8. Everybody is really over-thinking this C-rating thing. The 2 Pylons will give you 74A constant ,148A max and 180A peak for 15 sec.(7,1Kw) In the meantime while you are saving for your second battery buy a smalll Mellerware picolo kettle that draws only 1kw and it should work fine with your microwave. https://www.takealot.com/mellerware-900ml-piccolo-mini-cordless-kettle-white/PLID36957259
  9. I agree.
  10. I would go for maybe 47v and 51v.It wont be spot on but should put you close to the figures you want.(bit of a thumb suck) I can however tell you that a 46v setting allows my system to drop to about 11% and 52.5v Charges up to 100%.
  11. How are you trying to connect? What cables came with the inverter. Maybe post a picture of your setup to show where ,what is plugged in. My (clone) came with a usb /printer cable that connects between the inverter and the computer and running multisibcontrol works for me. http://www.multisibcontrol.net/

  13. https://www.ekurhuleni.gov.za/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Schedule-2-of-Electricity-Tariffs-2022-23-20MAY22.pdf Morning. Just some reading material for those in Ekurhuleni. Piper.
  14. My picture was also very clear.More than once and itโ€™s out of focus again. ๐Ÿ˜ Adding a voltage gage here ,changing a cable there.Adding a bit of solar panels extra for winter.๐Ÿฅถ My oh my ,how I love fiddling.๐Ÿ˜› Take your time and enjoy the new hobby๐Ÿคช
  15. Thats Correct. No AC input required.
  16. I bought Canadian and Jinko panels from Solar Inverter Warehouse and both brands perform as advertized.
  17. Hi Paul I think you should keep in mind that with factory fans blowing down out of the panel it will create a low presure inside when the door is closed and suck colder air in from the side vents right next to the thermal hot spots you are showing on the camera.So the hot spots with the door open might not be the problem area. I might be wrong thou.
  18. I must not comment before I have coffee in the morning.I think by now just about everybody has been wronged in some way or another due to this Covid thing. Glad to see that the PFS tried to make right by you. Unfortunately they are just stuck in the middle. So for now, holding on to your order fixed the price so thats a plus. Like TimCam said ,think were all just tired of this PLANdemic.
  19. Hi Deon Can I suggest that you post your inverter settings as this will help towards getting advise.
  20. I would cancel my order, request a refund on grounds of being mislead and buy from someone that has stock. How can you accept more orders knowing you dont have stock? You are now holding that person hostage financially is'nt it? The supplier have their money so could'nt care less about the customer. Had the same type of run arround with AC/DC express and my suppose to be Axpert inverters.For this simple reason I changed suppliers and wont buy from AC/DC Express again,EVER!!!!!!. And that is why I prefer over the counter sales.
  21. I see a new report was released for March 2022 for those interested. It appears that the project is now concluded unfortunately. https://batterytestcentre.com.au/reports/
  22. Its quite possible. look on your phone if you see a random wifi hot spot If you do ..Connect to it and try watchpower maybe. My fong kong inverters based on the Axpert have build in wifi and the software for them is watchpower.
  23. Doing the same and it works like a charm.
  24. Piper replied to isetech's topic in Batteries
    I'm not sure at what point did the recommended charge /discharge current of the pylontech batteries become their limitations. I have US 2000c and 3000c Max Discharge current is 50A and 74A that is 1C is it not?
  25. Sorry,Misunderstood the 100k statement so disregard.
