  1. I highly recommend the LuxPower.
  2. Hi, it is the number of cycles
  3. Didn't have my non-essential plugs yet 😀
  4. Hi so far very happy, no issues, only tripped once when I tried to run a welding machine + the system was charging. Other than that my general loads are not high at all, everything energy efficient, but we also obviously manage loads and do not run multiple heavy draw items at one time. Based on the install location, the fans are noisy when charging so bear that in mind, had to change settings to charge slower, the lights do dim so you know its loadshedding, no issues on appliances droppings so far.
  5. Hi, I am currently using Esener and so are many friends and family with no issues or complaints..
  6. I just contacted [email protected], gave them my dongle serial no. And they updated firmware for me
  7. Hi I contacted [email protected] and they changed to my installer code.
  8. Hi, yes I do have, they run really well no issues so far.
  9. I will probably be fitting the all in one within the next 2 weeks hopefully, will try and do a full post about it.
  10. Would like to add panels in the future, more than welcome to pm me for costs etc.
  11. 5.5kw Inverter + Esener 51.2v 5.12Kwh 100Ah Lithium Battery Inverter: https://www.esener.co.za/esener55kwinverter.html Battery: https://www.esener.co.za/esener512-100ah.html Happy so far, running just over a month as backup solution during loadshedding.
  12. Hi, I got one last week, so far it’s helping a lot with remote changing of settings, the only issue is I have two batteries but I cannot drill down into each one to see more I for like how it shows on their video, I am using “inverter settings”. Loving the graphs and not having to wait five minutes for data.
  13. It was showing 50.1 on inverter screen
  14. Apologies, came right, turns out my dip switch settings was incorrect.
  15. Hi, I have a Growatt SPF 5000 ES, 2 x Dyness A48100 Batteries, all was working fine, today I fitted Solarassistant and removed the cable from battery to inverter BMS and put it in RS485 on Inverter, everything shut down, I then put it back to BMS on Inverter and everything came back on, however now I am getting an error code 19 on the Inverter, batteries are on and showing full bars of power. What else can I do? I have shut everything down and rebooted, still no luck

  17. Wow, that’s some serious talent..
  18. Awesome, thanks for sharing, how do you get these graphs, what app are you using?
  19. This is more or less our daily currently, when the cleaning lady is in we have spikes due to the vacuum but nothing major, we wish we could have monitored the Kwh usage of all other items not powered by inverter just so we could see total building usage. Also wish we could change from SUB to SBU more easily and change the charge setting from SOL only to SOL + Util remotely if needed, I tried doing it online through the monitoring app, most times it don't work.
  20. Yeah, I didn't think of the blending option like that, it will work for us, we don't need to be off-grid. Our ideal is to preserve batteries mainly for night as overnight consumption is constant +-450w from 6PM till 8AM and for spring the day when we have loadshedding, so we will just have to turn off appliances so they don't drain batteries.
  21. Thanks, we have looked into this option and will further pursue in the new year, our main issue is by 3PM the sun is on the other side of our building so solar drops a lot and that's why we figured panels on that side will most probably help, but we need a more professional opinion, somebody to come out and check for us. We also only wanted 1 inverter to run but if we have to add a second we will, winter is going to be interesting as most of staff use a small bar heater under their desks, I counted approx 6 of them, this won't work for us.
