  2. I guess I could ship it if that works for anyone, does anyone have experience on how shipping would work and how buyer and seller have a level of comfort with the transaction?

  4. Hi all, Hang on think I know what's going on will report back if correct Thanks John
  5. Thanks Tim, definitely feels like a switch if I move it but I might be wrong it's fiddly in there , I've bypassed batteries, inverter and PV working fine, getting 52v on batteries and they go into run mode correctly but as soon as I try connect fuses and add to inverter they go into ALM and inverter gives fault, think it might be BMS?
  6. Thanks guys, don't have multi meter on me but will grab it in morning and test, there is a little yellow switch on left of battery cable connection busbars from power on/off on the inverter casing, have never noticed it before do you guys know if switch should be on positive or negative or the middle, I could of bumped it?
  7. Hi guys, I turned everything off to extend the riot cloud power cable, I haven't extended it yet but removed it and reconnected the little cables in the inverter to the screws on the busbar and when I turned everything back in I got an F56 fault, the 2 small cables that attach to screws on battery busbars attached pic, I didn't notice which way round they were but I'm getting the F56 error on inverter and both Hubble AM2's have ALM light lit up and if I reset the batteries they just got back to ALM. Any help please, inverter also not showing PV inputs, also I have shut batteries and bypassed inverter but it still keeps beeping
  8. I'm having same issues, I logged a ticket with Hubble last week and the response was that due to unforeseen errors full monitoring is not available with the 8kw sunsync
  9. Not sure but I went to their factory in Durban there is alot of stock in there so assume so
  10. Thanks Don, I like they are local to me so there is someone I can physically go see at the factory if I have any issues
  11. ART Solar(in Durban) has quoted me R6,8 / watt on their 550 watt panels, has anyone got any experience with their panels, also looking at 12 panels(6 east and 6 west) with an 8kw Sunsync? Attached datat sheet on the panelsART550 Panels.pdf
  12. Cool, I can control my geyser remotely so happy to have to monitor and make changes as necessary
  13. Amazing replies thank you, this is fast becoming a black hole for money but I'm pretty set on the 8kw Sunsync with 2 x hubble AM2 5,5kw batteries, panels Im stil a bit unsure, I was given a decent price by ART solar on their 550 watt panel, Ive read mixed reviews on their panels but I like that they are local and I can physically go see someone as they are up the road from me, if their are not any seriously negative comments on the panels I may go for them?
  14. Great, Tony will I be fine to start off with just the 1 X Hubble battery with the inverter?
  15. Awesome info thak guys, think Im going to suck it up and just go for the 8kw Sunsync, now trying to find stock is another story for all the bits and pieces, Ill keep you guys posted once I have a list of what i can buy and finall design sizing etc
  16. Thanks for quick responses, I am borrowing a logger this week and will do some detailed testing on my max loads if everything is on, we will also put some power managment rules in place so we dont max the inverter. Im looking at 6 x 470 watt Jinko Tiger panels per bank east and west, this gives me 312 volts per bank will it be efficient or should voltage be a bit higher?
  17. Hi all, completely new to planning solar and have been loving all the info on this site, my plan is to mostly DIY the install. I live in a 3 bed duplex in Umhlanga and can’t do thermal water heating(too difficult to get all owners approval) but can do PV, my usage is +-20KW / day and I have an east west roof at 18 degree angle. Budget of around R100k, I’m looking at: 1 x Sunsync 5KW inverter. 12x panels (450 watts or so with 6 panels facing east and 6 west). 1 x 5 – 6kw battery, unsure make possibly hubble as I might want to add another at a later stage. Apart from my oven(hob is gas) and aircons I want to push everything else through the inverter as essentials and link the geyser to the aux/smart port, geyser has full smart control(timing / temp / usage etc), I have installed a 1.5KW element in it and wrapped in a geyser blanket + lagged all pipes, my plan is to heat water twice a day(as currently) with PV heating during the day and then Eskom or battery(is this advisable) in the early hours of the morning if any battery power is left. Any comments on running everything through the 5kw inverter, will make some changes in power usage at home during the day. What would the best configuration be for wiring panels into the inverter? I plan on placing orders for the main components in the coming weeks as I carry on with the overall design. Thanks in advance for any advice.
