I would also like to know. Has anyone used a little inverter with a borehole?

I have the same problem. I am registered as an installer with a second account (my first account is as a user). But when I want to edit the inverter settings I get the error: "Device control function is not available".

Hi All, Where can I buy Unistrut or alternative type of mount over weekends in Johannesburg (preferable West Rand or more specific around Randburg)? I Googled places and both Cabstruct and Strutfast are closed over weekends. Any other ideas? What is the average cost for a 6m length galvanized steel? Thanks

Hi All, I want to buy panels for my 5kW SunSynk. There is very little stock. All I can find at a good price are the Canadian Solar 550W Super High Power Mono PERC. Will that work on the 5kW SunSynk? Or is the amps too high? See screenshot of datasheet attached.

I tried it this morning. The generator 2kW. The load limit on the inverter is set to 1.6kW, the office was pulling about 1kW and it was pushing 600W into the battery. Then, I turned on the microwave (1kW) so the load should go to 2kW (1.6kW from the generator and 400W from the battery). @Scoobs do you agree this is how it is supposed to work? For me it didn't. The generator went into overload. Maybe the step load is too large for the generator. But it didn't work like I hoped. I'm going to buy a munch of solar panels on 1 March so it's just a matter of time now then we won't have this problem anymore.

Thanks for all the replies. So I got the generator to carry the load and charge the battery. But it seems like my understanding of the peak shaving is not correct. I was hoping to use my 2kW generator to supply 1.6kW to our office during load shedding and when someone uses the microwave the generator would still supply the 1.6kW but the inverter would top up the rest. But that doesn't happen. So it looks like either the inverter, or the generator.

Just to be sure: So it is possible to supply as an example 800W from the generator and the rest from the inverter?

Thanks scoobs. I'll try it again in the next load shedding cycle.

Hi Everyone, I've read all I could on this forum about the topic but still could not get load sharing to work with my inverter. I've got a 2kW pure sine wave generator connected to the Gen port on a 5kW SunSynk inverter. When the generator starts it takes the full load. I want the generator to supply for example 1'200W base load and the inverter should top up the rest. When I start the generator it takes the full load, not partial load. Is it possible for the generator to supply partial load? I've bonded the neutral and the earth. The generators supplies power so I assume I did everything correct. I've even tired a 5.5kW generator (non inverter) and same issue. The generator supplies the full load. See a few screenshots of my settings.

I've just sent Hubble a support request. I'll keep you all updated.

Hi All, My Hubble dropped for the second time from 30% to 0%. The first time I let it go, but now the second time I'm getting concerned. Has anyone else have this issue? See my graphs attached. Load shedding started at 6pm, then the discharge started. I'm not too happy with this Hubble battery. (I've had the state of charge % showing wrong on the inverter. It's still showing wrong when I directly connect the battery BMS to the inverter, but via their CloudLink box it seems to work, but then the battery temperature is -100°C. )

I have a similar problem. My non-essentials like the geyser and oven are being fed by the battery at night time. Did you find a solution?

Hi Nicholas, Any warning signs to look out for?

Hi All, To close out this thread. Hubble assisted me a lot by sending me a Hubble Cloud Link module and remotely logging into my battery and updating the firmware. Now my battery is back at 100% SOC and working as it should. Thanks a lot to Hubble and their great service. I would highly recommend their products. Regards

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
