    I friend of mine has the foxess, and he is happy. Other considerations when comparing: local support, guarantees and warranties, ease of installation and setup, required functionality and budget constraints.

  14. 2nd last bullet: not entirely sure what you referring to but you don't want to discharge your battery to deep iot to extend its life. Depth of discharge you can go down to depends on manufacturer. If the 20% refers to the Time of Use setting then you'll use batteries instead of grid till you get to 20%. Last bullet: if you want to see savings choose "load first" setting. With that amount of panels you should be able to run your load and charge batteries during the day using solar. Of course this is load , orientation of your panels, etc .....dependant. I would not use 100% during the day but stick to the 40%. Use your solar and battery power to maximize savings.
  15. Maybe send an email to sunsynk with battery serial numbers and hear what they say. Or distributor of batteries.

  17.    AndrewJdc reacted to a post in a topic: Adding batteries
  18. My opinion: Fire risk could be due to electrical short (electrical fire) or bad battery cell (chemical fire). Doubt that engine heat will be a problem. Lead acid batteries sits right next to the engine in most cars.
  19. I would recommend solarwaysuppliers. They have two branches: cape town and Gauteng. Bought a few things from the cape town branch and collected myself. Im sure gauteng is also walk-in. For some reason cape town branch adds 3% surcharge. No experience with lemoen. Somewhere on the forum it was discussed.

  21. Definetly seeing better figures as we approaching spring.
  22. Being a sunsynk user i would recommend it. I bought at the peak of demand with very high prices. I reckon you can get your install for anything between 150k-180k. Panels alone these days are half the price and batteries about 20% cheaper. Demand has dropped significantly giving you more negotiation power.
  23.    Dinz reacted to a post in a topic: Anyone have a review on Sunsynk 5.12kw battery?
  24. Im using 5,32kw. No issues with comms or anything
  25. Do you have comms between inverter and bat?
  26.    AndrewJdc reacted to a post in a topic: Looking for supplier for 2 x 10kw systems
  27. Panel prices are really attractive. Wish i could add a few extra but no roof space.
  28. Ok, understand where you coming from. Sounds like the automotive industry to me. But thankfully that has changed.
  29. I don't think sunsynk support is the issue here as suggested in the topic.🤔
