  5. I am also using Geyser Wise and heat the water up to 75c using solar during the day. The water seems to still be hot enough for evening and morning shower.
  6. Thank you , the problem i have is if you have a shower later in the morning and when the Solar geyser starts its day job, it dumps cooler water on the already warm/hot water. My idea of starting the the solar pump after 9am in the morning should alleviate this issue or set the differential much higher than the limit it has.

  8. Is there any way to set the differential temp higher than the set 7c to 15c or have the pump start at around 9am as i do have have an issue with this during winter when the pump starts early cooling the already heated water in the morning. I am currently using home assistant but cannot find a way to control this.

  10. Hi all Did anyone successfully integrate and manage to upload their PV data to PVoutput using a Solarman dongle and homeassistant? I have searched but cannot find much info. You can monitor the production levels of other systems in your area and generate alerts based on comparative data. https://pvoutput.org/ regards Shai

  12. yes , maximum today was 12.5Amps. I have decided to put the panels on 2 stings of 5 each.
  13. i'm not sure the firmware however i think i will just split the string in two . I have checked on the sticker that it shows 13A per string
  14. My mppt is not clipping at all, its maximum is 12.2a Would putting 5 panels on 2 strings still give me about 4.5K plus power ?
  15. I have a Deye 5kv inverter with 9 x Jinko 555w panels on one string. The voltage with load is around 420v and I have another panel that i want to add on. The Voc on the panel is 49.72v which will still be below the 500v limit, it is safe to add another panel to this?
  16. Hi all , i currently have the below issue with a Deye 5kw inverter showing my daily discharge as a total. How do i change this to daily?

  18. Hi all i purchased a Deye 5kw inverter and currently looking just to subsidize my Eskom account. Batteries will be added at a later stage , i do have limited roof space and i am looking at 6x 540w Canadian Solar panels to start off with. will these panels be compatible ?
