    Ek,wil net weet of daar al 72 v invertsers in gebruik is en wat sou die voordele en nadele van so,inverter wees? Toe ek begin het is gese dat die 48v meer effektief is as bv 24 v.....is 72v dan nog beter?...;die een ter sprake is n 3 fase ..5kva per fase.

    Plonkster,na alles wat jy aangeneem en vermoed het ,vermoed ek jy is reg....al wat die batterye moet trek is my yskas deur die nag...deur die dag moet die panele daarvoor sorg en vir 2-3 ure saans gaan die gennie die ander trek en ook laai. Hoe moet ek die batterye koppel om beste balans te kry? Watter kontakbreker of sekerings moet ek waar gebruik? Dankie vir julle tyd en moeite.

    Ek het so 6000 w per dag nodig en het n gennie wat 2 ure per dag hardloop wat ook laaiwerk op die batterye kan doen totdat ek nie meer 380 v nodig het nie...dis vir water pomp....Ek het 12 Csb 80 Ah batt gekoop = 960 a/h...die Csb kan 500 siklusse doen teen 50 % ontlaai...teen R400 per batt...kon dit nie los...hulle was n jaar lank op bystand en toets nog baie mooi en stabiel. Ek het 5 5 Kva Mecer 960 a/h batterye 1,5 kw Panele 16 kva Lister generator Vraag: Sal die panele en die gennie( 2 ure per dag)die batterye kan volhou en deur die dag en nag my behoefte kan voorsien?

    Ek het n Mecer 5kva en wil batterye koop.Moet ek 4 *200 Neradas koop teen R2400 elk of 10 CSb 80a/ h war 1 jaar oud ?....R4000...is en sal 1 kw panele die batt bedags kan vol laai saam met n genie vir 2 ure saans?
  7. I use a 14 kw, 4cyl Lister.....is the nu of of panels not dependant on the size of the inverter.....and to get that right I will have to opt for the bigger inverters..3-4 kw ...and then they are usually 48 v..??
  8. Deepbass..I think this is how my system should look like yours.I would like to go for more panels to directdrive my freezer,washing machine computer and charging during daytime and use the gennie for pumping water and power for the workers for 3 hours at night.I only need the batt for the lights and freezer during nighttime.
  9. Hi Triplett,washing machine use 360 w fir 2 hours a day and lights 10*15w for 3 h per day.Thanks.
  10. Dankie Triplett...well during the time the genie is not running , I need to charge the batt,use the freezer (24h)the washing machine and at night after the genie is off uses lights untill bedtime.During the day the freezer and washing machine( 800 w) should run off the panels and then switch to the genie and then to the batteries.The 5000 is the total watt hours per day and the 1500 the peak.
  11. I am a new member and enjoy the forum a lot.While seeking for the right advice I came across this forum and trust that I shall find it.I am off grid and use a 14 kw generator to supply power for my and workers houses and pump water for 2.5 hours every night.at approx 3 lit of diesel/hour. In time I will drop,the genie but meanwhile I am in need of a system that can supply me with 5000 w per day and peak of 1500 w.which can double later.At the moment I am looking at a Sunniva 3.2 kw 48V hybrid inverter.Keep in mind that the genie runs for 2.5 h every day and can help with the charging.How many batt and panels should I use? Verskoon maar die engels ek is regtig n boer!
