Thanks Beat. if it is just a basic PC cable, I will head off the PC shop and pick one up. appreciate the assistance

Good day Does any know where I can get a parallel cable for a Growatt SPF 5000TL HVM-L inverter? It is the 9 pin to 9 pin cable.

Hi there all Wondering is anyone is familiar with the Rentech lithium batteries. There is a RJ12 6 pin RS232 port on front of the battery that I am trying to connect to a raspberry pi for monitoring. Do you know which cable will work for RJ12 to USB monitoring in ICC software? Appreciate the assistance

Thank you for this info Coulomb that is very helpful, I will keep that all in mind P.S. I definitely took that into consideration when I was replacing batteries

Hi there All I have an older Axpert 3K inverter, under the solar charger mode it says "system voltage" is 24VDC. Do I need to take this into account when choosing panels? Or as long as I stay under the 75VDC and 25A can I choose any panel?

Thank you dropkick, I will definitely look into it as an option and will contact 87 Dream. Appreciate it

With regards to solar panels I was looking at either 2 X JA Solar 295W Mono Percium 5BB All Black or possibly 2 X Canadian Solar 295W Poly PERC KuPower GEN4 Will these fall withing my inverters tolerances and they good panels?

Thank you, I will definitely look at that one instead.

Thank you for the advice I really do appreciate it. I do think you are right I should go for the lithium batteries. Would you be able to recommend some lithium 24v batteries that would be compatible with my system? Should I be going for something like 1 X Pylon UP2500 2.84kWh Li-Ion Solar Battery 24V with CAN connection “if comparable with my system” or Possibly 2 X Hubble Lithium S-100 12.8V 1.2kWh batteries or possibly something else?

Good day all I am very new to solar and inverter setups etc and would really appreciate some advice. I have had my RTC-Axpert 3K inverter for a few years now but only in battery backup mode. The current set of batteries “Goldshine 200Ah Gel” weren’t terribly good quality and I don’t think I had the best battery management settings in place either, and are now almost dead. I am looking to replace the batteries with better quality batteries, and install 1 or 2 solar panels just to get the maximum out of my current system. The system runs my office, some lights and a TV, on average the draw is about 170 Watts but might want to add the fridge to that if possible. I have been quoted on Deltec BCS 200Ah C20 GM batteries at R4725.00 ex vat each. Are these any good and is it a decent price, and is there something better for the same money? Would someone be able to suggest the best settings for my inverter for best battery management and battery longevity? Is there a better way of insuring the batteries don’t discharge below 50% besides the inverter? Would installing a Victron battery balancer be recommended? Could you recommend solar panels that I can get the maximum out of my 24V 600W solar charger and configuration? Lastly am I missing anything besides the above for best performance out of my current system? I really appreciate all the help and advice. Richard R
