Thank you very much. I will be ordering the things that I couldn't find at Herholdts from KD Solar.

Thank you very much. I'm now definitely going for aluminum.

Are aluminum rails better than galvanised and which reputable service providers can I use for buying? I have 16 panels that need to be installed and I stay in Johannesburg.

I'm so grateful for all that you share with us on this platform. I have found a lot of value from your insights.

Please share contacts of the Luxpower installer in Pretoria and Johannesburg, if any.

Thank you very much. I will certainly do. I need to protect this investment as much as possible.

Thank you very much. I will try to put a list of the things to validate because the last thing is to invest in a costly system only to have warranty invalidated because of installer qualifications.

I'm ready to install solar panels and I will either go with my current Luxpower SNA5000 inverter and Hubble AM-2 battery or decide to go with the Sunsynk once I'm satisfied that it is worth the money. The warranty requirement for Sunsynk states that there must be Proof of Qualified Wireman or Electrician installing the unit. How do you guys ensure that your electrician is qualified (what do you ask for) and how do you go about searching for them. I stay in Florida Glen and my internet requests have not been replied by the big companies.

@JayMardern It is now clear that LuxPower and Hubble are really serious players in the market. I now have a lot more confidence and knowledge.. Thank you very much for your input.

@Peter V Thank you very much. Sunsynk does come at a bigger price hence my careful consideration before selling what could work very well without the additional expense while I still have furniture and other things to worry about

@JayMardern Thank you very much for your valuable input.

@Scorp007 I will share with all of you my final decision and plan. Like I have said, your inputs are very valuable to me.

@FixAMess This is why I appreciate this forum so much. I'm always cautious when resellers lean towards one brand and can't give you options. The information users have shared here is what I will use to ensure that I get different options presented to me before making my decision.

@Scorp007 Thank you very much. This forum is really a blessing and I'm thankful for your contribution.

@jlr This is very encouraging to hear and is in line with @Scorp007 initial advise. The house seller said he doesn't know which model the Luxpower or Hubble is. The conveyancer stated that the house should be finally transferred today and then I can get the previous installer who assisted me with the Kodak installation to come and evaluate then let you know the exact specs of the equipment. The most important thing is that your comments have helped me understand the possibilities. The installer has high regard for Sunsynk, which is what he mostly installs for his clients, and he recommends it but I have informed him that I want to evaluate all options. After all, moving into a house from a complex will require new furniture and other things but I am excited of the opportunity of solar installations.

@Scorp007 Thank you very much for your contribution. Please share the link of where I can buy the 5KW Sunsynk with Sunsynk battery and panels. It is indeed a great offer

Thank you. The plan is to have a solar solution in our new homw. In the current home I didn't have any challenges with the Kodak products as the battery could last me 24 hours with the fridge, TV, 2 computers and lights (8 rooms in total with 2 light bulbs each) when we had issues. But it does look like a good solar system will require Sunsynk and other batteries. I will definitely let you know if I'm selling the Hubble.

Thank you. You're the second person who recommends the SunSynk and selling the other items.

@Scorp007 Are you an installer? If yes and you're within the Gauteng region, please share your contact details with me

I currently have Kodak OGS inverter + Kodak Battery and I'm moving into a house that has Luxpower inverter + Hubble batter (both options at 5Kva). As I will probably not be able to connect both of them, which option would you recommend I keep and which one should I sell?

@Scorp007 thank you very much

I'm moving into a house that already has Luxpower invert and Hubble batter (all 5kva). I currently have Kodak inverter OGS 5.6kw 48v and Kodak 5.12kw FL5.2 battery. Is it at all possible to pair all these togethe or some combination?

I bought my Kodak Inverter OGS5.6 and Kodak Batter FL5.2 and installation was done in July 2022. When the inverter arrived, it stated that it requires a firmware update to be done of which my technician did know how to do and I've never updated the firmware. I called Segen Solar a few times requesting assistance with a technician to help me with the firmware update but all they did was take my number and state that they will share the information to technicians. Is there anyone who can assist me with updating my the firmware update of my OGS5.6?

Anyone with a recommendation of a store that I can walk int0 to buy the cable pack for Kodak FL5.2?

@Terminal3k What have you finalised about GetPower. I'm considering buying from them and going through as much as I can about them.
