  1. Hello all, I hope someone can assist with my strange issue. It just started a week ago. About four month after I moved to pre paid from post paid and JHB City Power installed a "Hexing meter". The strange thing is that it initially started tripping and restarting between 02h00 and 05h00, not during the day. Yesterday output from the AC combiner box stopped. The LUX is working fine so we had to by-pass the AC auto transfer switch and switch off the main feed from CPower. I reported to JHB CP and still awaiting the call out. Also - strange is that if I use Eskom only it also trips and restarts during the early hours of the morning. I have now switch totally to inverter power. LUX setting is below. I hope someone has a solution - TIA.

I have now switch totally to inverter power to avoid the frustration of the tripping. I also have a LUX 5000 sna and the same settings as above. Hope someone has a solution - TIA.

  8. Hello. Please help with guidance for the correct number of solar panels for a 3kva Growatt 24v inverter. I have had three quotes and am getting conflicting feedback, one supplier says i need 9 panels others vary between 2 - 6. As a newbie this is confusing. The batteries are x2 12v 100Ah. The inverter is MAX 102VDC, MPPT = 30-80VDC. All i want to do is charge the batteries during the day via Solar instead of Eskom and during load shedding. Help appreciated. TIA.
