So no chance of 148A for more than 15s ( given 180A peak for 15s spec )

I hear but if you plug two 3000c’s into a sunsynk with a BMS cable what will it set the max current to? I saw a photo where it limited it to 74A so the max appears useless ??

Very good point. So many options, so hard to decide !

The website says standard discharge 50A and max discharge 100A. How does one know if you can run it at 100A and how it effects the warranty? Any idea what the warranty actually is in terms of cycles ? I am really tempted to get 2 x 3000C but I still then only get 74A discharge. I can’t afford more and I am worried about having the battery trip if we put the kettle on and have say the microwave running. The point of spending a bit more for a decent 5kw system is to not have to nurse it so much.

I didn’t, good experience with it?

How do you tell them apart? On the power forum store for example it is specified at 50A standard current. Any suggestions for trusted retailers? Don’t see them on the usual stores that I have come across a lot.

I see it as a 50A nominal with 100A peak vs something like the Hubble which offers 100A nominal. Could one draw 1C for say a few minutes during a kettle boiling ? The warranty is real plus. Wow what a nice summary. I hear you about it not being an issue once you get two batteries, but that will only come a fair bit later so don’t want to have to live so carefully to avoid tripping it. Really trying to keep something under R100k to start (5kw SS, 5kw battery, 8 panels) Interesting about the Sunsynk warranty cycles I didn’t notice that. I was really set on the Hubble until I started reading more and more. I wonder how many of these batteries use the same cells inside so likely to last the same if you treat them the same.

Thanks, didnt notice the eTower, the 5/4 was always out of my price range.

Hi Everyone Getting closer to finalizing system spec. Decided on 5Kw Sunsynk fairly quickly but I am struggling to find consensus on a ~5KWh 1C Battery to pair it with for ~R30K. Would really prefer close to 1C upfront with 1 battery before I add another one. - Hubble AM-2 seems like a logical choice but there seems to be lots of people having issues and in parallel people saying to stay away from NMC. On the other hand lots of people sound very happy with it... - Pylon seems obvious but to get 1C need more than 1 and the price is a lot higher (2 x US2000C ~R35K and still only 0.5C) Also need to add bracket or cabinet - Revov 2Life very affordable but not quite 1C and concerned about the used cells. Life-4U could be an option but still not quite 1C. They also seem new to the game - Halo Eclipse / Vestwoods seems perfect but cant find any info on them at all - Greenrich also looks great but relatively new with few people running them (yes I have entered the competition) Will be adding another 5Kwh pack in the future when funds permit so need someone who will still be around in a few years. If you were to start again in a situation like me where would you go?

Looks great, wall mount would be even better !

I can do the install myself so that should save a bit. I didn’t expect R100k, was thinking of just adding 4000W of solar but I could be missing lots of hidden costs! I have been going in circles for a while, going up and down the spec curve. Maybe R25k is better and just learn to live carefull, changing over the plugs to mains after every shed. The reason for the sunsynk was to be able to easily push back excess solar during the day to the non essential loads, not really for the AC+PV blending. To wire the geyser into the output of the inverter I would need to jump to 7.2kw Kodak for R18k and then worry about a smart switch on the geyser opens during load shedding. I might be missing all sorts of other costs or over estimating the savings. I hope someone else has been in and out of this rabbit role like me and can give me some results after their install.

Hi Everyone Long time lurker driven to action by Stage6 + Unhappy Wife Looking for advice as I am sure many other people have walked up and down the spec line as I have. We use ~30kwh per day (Single Geyser, Oven, Pool Pump, Gas Hob, General Appliances) I have no plans to invest R150K+ or more like others have with lots of storage, my intention is to "Beat Load Shedding" but get some payback for the system. - Started off considering a 3KW system for ~R20K (3KW Inverter, 3KW Storage) can only do very basics (no appliances) - Moving to 5KW jumps to ~R40K (Kodak 5KW + 5Kwh Battery - Say Hubble for 1C) - Here I can run some appliances. If I add panels will be tricky to feed the high consumers (Stove, Geyser, etc) My logic therefore, likely flawed is as follows: I see the R40K as a investment in keeping a certain quality of life, so they money is spent and gone... Am I crazy in thinking I should rather spend R10K Extra on the inverter for a True Sunsynk Hybrid and add R30K worth of Panels in order to "payback" this additional R40K over the next few years. If I can save ~R1200 per month by cutting 300-400Kwh off my bill (on the higher Tariff Tier) then I can pay off this additional in 3-4 years? Battery will just be for Load Shedding... If anyone been down this road please let me know if I am nuts or thinking soundly. Cheers
