    Sunsynk does specify that it does have built in Surge & fuse protection. However, I would still go the extra mile & install these. It's costs a few Bob but will prevent an inverter going for a consumable fuse replacement.

    At the moment we don't have enough generation to keep the lights on while the sun is shining. Never mind our pumped storage. If buying solar means we can mitigate some of our current issues - even if that just means no load shedding when the sun shines, it will be a major win.

    During the load shedding this past weeks, my power has mostly been off 08h00-10h30 and in the afternoon either 12h00-14h30 or 14h00-16h30. So this means that they do have shortages during the daytime as well. Residential solar PV may not help after hours, but there is definitely a shortage during sun hours as well.

    Please expand on the 2 strings and 2 MPPT. I can  see 4 strings each to their own fuses. They are then combined and to circuit breaker and SPD. The outgoing circuit to the MPPT I see only 1 red and black exiting on the RHS bottom.

    Seems that's only applicable on paid/promoted google ads. We should have a pinned fraudulent sites post.

    So you are going to feed the fuses from the bottom? Best practice is to feed everything from the top. I will also feed the surge from the panels directly on not through the fuses.

    Feeding the fuses from the bottom means they could be "hot" when you pull them...

    P1000 is correct. Feeding from the bottom you cant touch or replace fuses without the risk of being shocked.
