I did test it thank you, a little over 3700 watt was installed at the time and it peaked at about 2880 watts when I put the geyser or stove on. The other two 465 watt panels were installed today so it's done and I will test tomorrow to see what the new peak power production is. It seems it's about 75% efficiency. I had him install it on the back instead of facing the front so as to minimize the chance of theft since you can't see them from the street. Do you think 75% efficiency is good this time of the year my friend?

Apologies, I just tested the stove (which is connected to the inverter) which draws 2.4kwh, then the solar input jumped to a little over 2000watt, so I guess it only draws what is required from the panels.

Hi, apologies for inconveniencing you guys with the following questions, first time solar owner. About 3 weeks ago my sunsynk 5kwh inverter was installed and my 5.32 kwh synsynk battery, they work better than expected and my house draws less power than expected too. The installer installed the frames and solar panels today, some of them (8 out of 10), each panel is a 465 watt rated JA panel. It's currently 2pm in the winter, there is no shading obstructing the panels, the sun can clearly be viewed, 8 of them are installed and connected to the inverter but they are only generating 400 watts of power. Is this normal for the winter? I looked up my region's generation ability before moving here and it's much better than in Pretoria where I moved from, am currently on the border of the Northern Cape in the North-West province. Can anyone advise what the peak hours would be in the winter? I would also like to ask, since I got the 5kwh inverter coupled with the 1C rated 5.32 kwh sunsynk battery, how do I apply for the warranty, and do I qualify for the extended warranty? Thank you in advance for your advice, may this message find you well.

Hi, I've decided I'm going to invest in in the platinum kit from the following company:https://www.solarengineering.co.za/residential As you can see it seems to be quite a decent system. I've also put aside money for a solar geyser and a solar borehole pump. Can anybody refer me to people who sell and install these in the border of the Northern Cape with the North-West region? I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice guys, I think based on your recommendations I'd rather look at the Deye/Sunysyk, seems the money is well spent. Do any of you know of any solar installers in Kimberley or Jan Kempdorp?

I wanted to mention, I'm getting a solar geyser as well as a solar borehole pump.

Hi, I'm new to solar power and looking to invest when moving at the end of this year. With regards to my purchase, I'm not quite sure how much installation would work, I'm moving to Jan Kempdorp in the Northern Cape. The system I'm looking at (but not sure if this is feasible or if the panels would be too much for the inverter) are as follows: growatt hybrid 5kw inverter (could be convinced to use the deye 5kw if it will change my batteries faster) = 14,000 (24,000 for the deye) 10 x 540 watt Canadian solar panels = 40,000 2 x Shoto 5.12kwh batteries = 48,000 the total for this is 102,000 or 112,000 with the deye inverter. I'm aware though that I need to pay a professional installer, any idea how much this would cost? Would these panels work with one of the inverters? I'm hoping some of the more experienced people could help me out. Either way thank you and am glad to be here.
