Froggie got a reaction from hoohloc in Sunsynk 5kw Inverter and 2 x MPPTIt will work. It'll be sub-optimal but possibly better than being below start-up voltage on the 4 panel option.

Froggie reacted to Sc00bs in One or 3 phase power monitorsHi @uDuWaR
I initially started with an Efergy 3-phase which work pretty well and gave me a good general overview of my power usage.
I found however that it was not granular enough when I installed my Inverter as it basically just gives you the totals that you are using and I was getting that information from my inverter.
I subsequently purchased an Emporia Vue 2 from Amazon which is very good value for money @ $200 shipped as it provides up to 16 x 50 Ct Clamps and 3 x 200A CT Clamps for 3-Phase supply. It will give you the amount of power being distributed to through all the individual breaker circuits on your DB-Board as well as power being drawn through each of your 3-Phases. Delivery took 10 days from Amazon. Just make sure that you order and extra CT CLamp to give you 3 of the 200A CT Clamps as I think it is only supplied with 2 as standard.

Only issue I had with it was that all the data is getting uploaded to the cloud and is not available directly into Home Assistant and has to be accessed via an Integration.
Luckily there someone has done a lot of work and integrated it into ESPHome which is relatively easy to do if you don't mind reflashing the firmware on the unit.

Froggie got a reaction from wolfandy in Sunsynk 5kw fanTwo other options you can consider:
connect a MCB sized 12V transformer in an open space in your AC control box. This can then power a small 12V (i.e. computer) fan 24/7. use a sonoff TH10 or TH16 to turn a fan on/off based on the the inverter temp. -
