  1. Question. What does the little Isolation switch on the unit do? The little button at the bottom.
  2. Where is that screen. Can I see it on the Sunsync app. Site is in Prince Albert, so supply is “problematic”. But my electrician installer says that my issue is not a townwide issue. It happens outside of loadshedding. I noticed it with oven clock that keeps resetting.
  3. A few times per day my mains will go off and back on in less that a second. What could cause this? My "permanent draw" (zero export) is set to 20W on the Synsync inverter, could this be too low? Could there be a problem with the prepaid meter? (CONLOG) Thanks.
  4. SYC helped me. Bottom line is that a normal LAN cable can be used between Hubble and Sunsync. Dip switch 1 on.
  5. Quick question. No Riot / Cloudlink. For full comms I only need a CAN cable connection? With this I will be able to monitor battery via Sunsync app. Is this correct? Is the CAN BUS cable a special cable? Meaning I can not use a normal LAN cable? Thanks
  6. Detailed data such as? And thanks by the way.
  7. But remote monitoring can be done with the Sunsynk logger? Not so?
  8. Hi As I understant it Riot and Cloudlink is the same thing. What benefits are there to getting the Cloudlink over and above everything that can be done and seen on the Sunsync Logger app? Assuming that Sunsync and Hubble have their independent ways of communicating.

    O, so your question is how to limit NE equipment on the essential load.
  10. Rogan replied to Rogan's topic in Inverters
    Don't understand this question, but discussing it will help me with my own confusion. The way I understand it is that there is NO limit on non-essential size. Inverter will supply up to its rating and rest from grid. Is my understanding correct?
  11. Hi My Sunsynk inverter might be slightly out of wifi range by a few meters. Can the logger thingy be located somewhere else via an extension cable?
  12. My installer seems a bit overly conservative. Is it 100% safe to install 8 Canadian Solar 450 panels with a 49v VOC rating on one string of a Sunsync 5. Cape Town. My calculation says yes. Secondly, someone mentioned to me that I will have problems with my current prepaid meter and should have it replaced. Any truth in that? Thanks.

    Last one. So anything connected before the inverter, such as geyser / tumble drier, does not affect the size of the inverter needed. Or put differently, inverter size is determined by your essential load only.

    When grid is off (solar on) , can non ess be supplied without the confusing Aux connection. So thar will be capped by Inv rating? ……..
  16. Rogan replied to Rogan's topic in Inverters
    Thanks I am between a 5 or 8 Sunsync. So based on an on grid installation grrrrrrrrrrrrr... confused. When grid is off (solar on) , can non ess be supplied without the confusing Aux connection? Supposedly to the max of the inverter rating? Grid on: is my total usage limited by the inverter size? Or is the inverter "bypassed"?
