Question. What does the little Isolation switch on the unit do? The little button at the bottom.

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.

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.

SYC helped me. Bottom line is that a normal LAN cable can be used between Hubble and Sunsync. Dip switch 1 on.

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

Detailed data such as? And thanks by the way.

But remote monitoring can be done with the Sunsynk logger? Not so?

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.

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?

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?

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? ……..

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"?

After researching this highly complex topic for many hours, I am still sitting with the most basic of question. Really have to think of how to put this question. Basically, what determines inverter size for an on grid situation? The way I understand it. grid on: The inverter, solar supply dependent, will only supply to the max of its rating. Rest comes from grid. No risk of tripping? grid off: Here is the problem. While there is solar generation, does the inverter supply non essentials? If yes, is the max it can supply its rating? ie A 5KW inverter can only supply 5KW even if I generate 8KW of solar. Does it trip if I ask for more, like putting an aicon on? So, what determines the size of inverter I must go for?

Easy install.

Is the demand creating a great time for installers. A quote I received, ex VAT. 8x Canadian Solar 540W @ 3550 = 28400 Railing & cables 3900 600V Protection Box 5450 Battery shelving for 4. 5650 5K Sunsynk. 23150 Batteries: Kodak 3.6kWH 48V x 3 pack: 68000 Transport: 1800 Electrician Installation: 54000 Supervision and organisation: 18000 Total ex vat = 204450 Incl = 235118.

I am busy deciding between the two. Leaning towards Sunsync. Cost. What is there to gain with the Victron? Both will do the same job.

2 in series * 3 parallel: Noob question. Does this not only produce 100v. How is this enough to wake the system up? What am I missing?

Why does that seem like a lot of capacity for very low consumption. Please share your thoughts in the calculation process, even if you think they are flawed.

Hi my respected friends. One installer says I need prior approval for solar installation. The other says not, what are the rules? City of CT specifically. Thanks

Hi all. I am always wanting to know, and came accross this forum a week ago. I was prepared for a read of a couple of hours. But, what must be now more than 10 hours reading I have got more questions than I thought I would have. Wow, but here is a lot of info. THANKS. Can I confirm a bisic question as there is conflicting info on the web. June and December sunrise angle in Cape Town? I have 62/119 and 74/108.
