Are any of these still available?

This could really boot my system

Coulomb , been here for 34 year and it is a regular occurrence. I measured the voltage on the DB below Transformer Red was 110V. Different transformer one the road had no power but could not get more info Eskom only ever repair when it breaks, never improve the system.. Now we getting many more houses and flats.. only gonna get worse.

I have a unique problem. Ok so I only have single phase , most around me have 3 phase.. After load shedding last night I came back on with 110V so one phase is down. From what I can gather it is affecting 2 transformers on our road, so iti s probably the main overhead 11KV lines. My Inverter is running fine with eskom power ( 110) on, most appliances function fine. Rancilio Coffeee machine is fine, but grinder not, garage door motors not. some led lights flicker like crazy other are fine. Switch off Eskom grinder, garage door works, lights brighter so seems like voltage goes up. So when eskom is above a certain voltage, the Inverter feeds eskom through. Update before posting I suddenly thought there must be a setting.. as below , select the UPS range and its fixed... Lux power 5kw Pylontech US3000C 4 X Canadian Solar 430W panels 1 Mecer inverter 2X 200A Gel batteries 2 X Mecer 330 W panels

I note that sometimes it returns a blank message, so I poll ( every 5 secs) till I get a valid readout..

Yes it is fixed..

Boyd, machine_friendly.csv is not being updated correctly, has stage 3 for weekend but esp had stage 1

Ok so I contacted luxpower who updated my firmware again and changed battery voltage setting. All good since then... Maybe fixed

I upgraded the Firmware on the 9th Feb.. It randomly triggers, off for 5 minutes . It only seems to trigger during the day and it is exactly as load shedding starts Luxpower SNA5 with Pylon tech US3000C battery

I have installed my SNA5000 Luxpower with a PylontechUS3000C and 2 extra 425W CS panels . So far everything is working well. I have limited my load and only run essentials on it especially as LS6 hit pretty soon after setting up. Battery arrived at 50% and since then the lowest its been is 66% I think. Thanks all for advice

This the most helpful and best run forum I have ever been a part of. Thanks so much

Ok so I have 2 X Canadian Solar Panel 435W Poly PERC HiKU I cant seem to find anyone with stock. I can get Canadian Solar 455W Super High Power Mono Voltage and Current are pretty close 435 is 40.1 and 10.85 455 is 41.3 and 11.02 I need them in series as I now need 100V plus for MPPT in series I would get 162.8V and 10.85A so about 1766 W My issue is about mixing Poly and Mono. Any advice

I am thinking to go 48v 5kW Any comments on Luxpower SNA5000 and Dyness batteries https://gocenergy.co.za/product/5kva-backup-with-lux-power/

Ok so I started with mecer box with 4 batteries and an intellipower.. Upgraded to to Crystalpower 2400 with 2 X 430 watt panels and 2 x Omnipower 180A 12V batteries. System worked fine with new batteries 8 hrs no issue.. I now need to go Lithium as AGM does not survive loadshedding. So do I go Hubble S200 with my inverter or Hubble S200 new inverter - pure sine wave etc. or Pylontech UP2500 with new inverter--- which 3kw is best.

Maxumis I am looking an spf-3000tl-hvm-24 with 2 x 12v 200ah lithium batteries as below. https://www.sustainable.co.za/products/growatt-spf-3000tl-hvm-24-3kva-3kw-24v-hybrid-inverter-with-wifi 2 x https://www.geewiz.co.za/lithium-ion-batteries/187470-hubble-s-200-256kwh-12v-200ah-lithium-ion-lifepo4-battery.html This is pretty much what you have. Are you still happy a year down the line?
