  1. Hi Does anyone have any flat twin earth wire lying around that they want to sell to me at a decent price? I need 10mm flat twin & earth 50m. I'm based in JHB Edenvale side. Don't mind traveling locally Thanks
  2. @dean is the Sunsynk sold?
  3. @JoeSlowthanks for the response you are an absolute machine. Oh and yes I did mean to say usage is between 20 and 25kwh per day?
  4. Hey what’s up everyone. like so many here I’m new to solar and I have been reading my ass off for the last few days to figure out what to do. Probably been asked before a million times too I know. My house is setup as follows. - Pitch roof north facing - 2 x 200L geysers with those solar tube guys and 2 geyserwise timers - gas hob and electric oven - pool pump 0.750w with salt chlorinator - I’m generating roughly 20 to 25kw a day - led bulbs in all the lights - 1 x washing machine and 1 x tumble dryer/washing machine in 1 - side by side fridge and freezer - wine cooler and of course a beer fridge - dishwasher The situation is a bit complicated because I don’t have a garage and my DB board is in my walk-in closet so no space there either and noise will be an issue too so I kinda have to install the system in the covered veranda. Obviously I have to make it as neat and “hidden” as possible to keep the wife happy. My budget is 65k so obviously I will start there and grow. Mostly self install except for the DB board connectivity. So was thinking of this and this is where I need the unbelievable brain power that’s on this forum. - looking at a sunsync, Deye, or goodwe 8kw inverter because I cannot stack 2 5kw. I must say Holy crap the sunsync’s, Deye are flipping massive too. - then 4 x 470w or 540/545w panels - potentially 1 x 48v 3.2kw dyness lithium iron battery. - will this setup work with battery? Should I skip the battery and add more panels. - should I look at another inverter? There aren’t many 8kw out there. I wish the 8/10 kw luxpower inverters we’re available on SA. I really like them for some reason. any site recommendations to buy from? any good places to get fuses and switches for the controller box etc etc. so that’s my long winded story looking forward to the feedback.
  5. Hi Any feedback from someone who has been using the luxpower inverter for some time now? Would you recommend them? Any major downsides or anything I should look out for? Thanks Brett
