  1. I'm of the opinion that you should add BSL to you list.. IMHO the best off all batteries support wise I Bought 1 new BSL in 2020 and have been adding 2nd hand batteries as I go along I paid R25k new and 8k 2nd hand, all where recently remotely inspected by getoffgrid as they are still under warranty

    Get the CBI ASPI Astute Device and install in DB Board// Then Connect S1 to Escom / GRID and S2 to Inverter Load Side or Aux It is also a Wifi Device so then you can program the other devices based on its status

    I will try to be Practical by my own example.. What works well for me as that I have the AUX port Wires going to a CBI ASPI Wifi Clever Non load switching Device.. Via Sunsynx Aux Settings, When SOC is 90% and PV PRODUCED is set to eg 2200W, this device activates an indicator light and activates a Tuya Device Status Called Alternative On. The CBI ASPI Device also has an indicator light Called Mains On . The Tuya Device Status is Called Mains On. (Fed From Escom Grid Connection) I then have a Tuya Automation Scene (GeyserWise ASPI ON) that Activates my Geyserwise Wifi Keypad to push Expected GeyserTemp to 70 Deg C and Switches Geyser On.. Via Sunsynx Aux Settings, When SOC Drops to 80%, the port Voltage then drops and the Tuya Device Status Called Alternative goes Off. A 2nd Tuya Automatiom Scene (GeyserWise ASPI OFF) that Sets Geyser Temp back to 50 Deg C and Switches Geyser Power Off This way I am able to dump backfeed AC to my 2 Geysers on Non Essentials when battery full and PV is generating without ANY Additional AC Wiring to the 2 Geysers.. It can thus also activate any other TUYA Device via the Scene, either Essentials or Non Essentials as it is thus software based. What is not foolproof is that if the PV Produced is also used internally and then you dont actualy have 2200W of free power to use, but the SOC is still a very good indicator together with Scene Automation and Weather Accessed Algorithm.. With Enough PV in your system you could still even wire the AUX port Directly to a device eg Pool but then it is soley dependant on the port, unless you also have a Contactor on the port As I am also feediing the grid, I prefer to first Dump my PV power Internally before exporting, a difference of about R1.50 / kw I am in the process of Getting a larger Inverter to have more PV to Feed and Direct. https://cbi-lowvoltage.co.za/aspi https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tuya.smart&hl=en_ZA https://www.geyserwise.com/our-products/geyserwise-electronic-thermostats/geyserwise-tse1-with-tuya-module/

  13. I also use the 5kw BSL with 5.5kw Sunsynk Its very important to set them up correctly to get full utlitzation. I find very few installers I have spoken to does anything else than a "Safe" installation which means one can potentially lose up to 40% utilization.. My Batteries never used to go below 60% SOC where now I hit 30% daily Could one easily add a 2nd 5kw BSL Battery after 6months or so ? And Adding a 2nd hand one ? I may juts be in the market for another one
  14. Please PM Contact Details
  15. Maybe in conjunction with a cutt off type controller as below Adding a Diode will also be a good idea to stop backflow It is uncertain what the Max Amps is even though relay handles 20/30A Maybe an all in one Buck/Voltage Switch is available ? I would also be interested https://www.robotics.org.za/XH-M603 https://www.robotics.org.za/XM-M604
