2x comments from my side. Booster pump (maybe other pumps as well) on a separate inverter ; ie instead of 3x in parallel take 2x in parallel and the third one separate for pumps. I've got a similar scenario and this will ensure that if there is a sudden "pull" that your normal appliances cannot be impacted by this The (almost) 30KwH seems to be quite high for only lights and your base evening load? I've got about 20kwH nominal and can run dishwasher twice in the evening if required.

Most likely the Gen port , even in off grid scenario the Gen port charging can be limited and inverter is aware of possible hertz fluctuations

R 13,181.00 incl VAT

They indeed initiated it, got a note and was informed to chose a day

I've been migrated to prepaid in Tshwane so will most likely stick for now...

I don't see the exact hertz fluctuation - due to loadshedding and power outages in my area....

Sorry I can't assist with licenses and keys. I'm still hoping that someone would be able to take the ICM project further but this doesn't seem to be the case...

I've not pulled the plug as yet... Also did not read any posts, see below on what I've learned so far. Based on my checks one indeed need to physically visit a walk-in center.

All back to normal again - this was a once-off lower-than-usual SOC due to very low PV and Eskom being unavailable for a few days in my area. It re-calibrated the same day and back to the normal and in line with the other US2000 Plus'es

I'm interested in 2 if you still have them

I've been charging my Pylontech's on 52.4v but cycles now around 800 cycles and see that one cell (and overall SOC of applicable battery) is not aligned with the other ones anymore. First 4x = US3000C's , battery 5-8 = US2000 Plus series. Who has experience / guidance here - I've seen some activity where some users were looking for other cells. Would be great if someone can point me in a direction. Screenshot from ICM below.

Ok seeing that I'm not a direct eskom customer above email is not relevant. Need to Cancel with municipality.

I've decide to pull the plug - literally but also figuratively. Based on my quick google search the easiest would be an email #DCE submitting a disconnection request. I've send an email this morning but need some advice / guidance from someone that went through this recently.

R2.6k more for brand new battery. For some reason batteries got significantly cheaper, good reason to upgrade but has impact on 2nd hand value.

What is your current cycle count - assume you need something more or less the same?

I do, send me a DM with any details . Im in Centurion (work) if its easier for you

Most likely the best offer you will get anywhere. Better than all black Friday deals I've seen.... Even second hand options is more expensive and 10y guarantee is as good as it gets. Is this 15/16 cell batteries?

If you don't have power-hungry heaters the winter PV (is normally more consistent day to day) should be able to cover your daily consumption... As above you'll most likely best off with electric and gas geyser in series. I also have borehole and pressure pump on my load and can run dishwasher twice during evening if required.

I have similar specs, just above 20kWh batteries and using as much PV as available with gas as topup on geyser. By adding another battery you should be able to be 98% offgrid but need to manage pool, geysers etc to ensure PV is available.

Sounds like either mud/dirt or the water level is dropping while you are pumping. How deep is your well? Switching off is normally to protect the pump

Normally Pylontech supports up to 16 batteries per bank ( parallel). However older batteries, specifically us2000 (a,b / plus) and us3000 (a) must be in position <=8. Total of 11 batteries with 1 one master us3000c therefor only supports 1+7+remainder C models. I have 4x US2000 plus and 4x US3000C models and was also under the impression max is 8.. But this thread gave a some hope to expand

I have 4x US2000 Plus (700 cycles) and 4x US3000C (around 400 cycles). Total SOH = 95% , on ICM I cannot see SOH per battery. Your figures look better, but I also cycle them more at least 0.6 cycles per day. Always running from DC.

So changing the order resolved your comms issue? Strange but can also be dust or bad connection on RJ11.

Still happy with the drop-in replacement batteries?

My picture as follows Blue = Load ; even the geyser heats up early morning when SOC > 44% Green = PV Purple = Battery , under the line discharge, above the line it charges Eskom = MIA.
