Hi, 

I got a Luxpower SNA5000 inverter around a month ago and have been struggling ever since to find a good example of setting to achieve what I want to thought I would share what works for me here. 

My setup: Luxpower SNA5000, 5.12KW Dynness battery, ~1800w solar panels. 

What I wanted: This is mainly a backup solar system but I also dont see the use wasting sun when it is there shining on my panels anyway so here is what I did. 

 8:30AM - 4 PM :  My system will only use Solar+Battery during sunny hours
5PM - 9PM              :  I will allow AC (ESKOM/GRID) to charge batteries if Solar did not charge fully during the day (has never happened, battery usually back to 100% at around 2PM). I also leave it on AC during this time since it involves lots of consumption as we prepare dinner here. 
9PM - ~8:30AM:     :  I let it run on battery only since its light load (I switch over to AC if it dips past 40% for some redundancy for Load Shedding). And by time it gets around 50% in the morning after coffee etc. The solar starts charging it up again. 

So in a perfect day I only use AC from 5 - 9PM

This works great for me to get some extra use out of the panels and not let them just idle during the day. 

This works great but would be better if I had more batteries and panels, but for now its worked great, here is my settings below to get an idea of how I achieved this. feel free to criticize or ask questions.

Just had to add.... 
 
Got mine installed today, if you have a mesh network or extenders you do no have to put them off if they have an option like below.
I have been struggling with the device for an hour until i almost gave up , turned the Tenda Nova back on and looked in its settings.

So check if you have the below on your nodes.

 
 

Will ask @PsyCLown to post pictures when he is done and a report with graphs how effective the mod is.

Wrong section this is FOR SALE

The description and the price of the battery require unpacking: 2.8kWh Nenergy lithium battery for R8000
Firstly, the image on the Whatsapp link is of the Nenergy 4.8kWh battery, which costs around R24,000 normally if you google around.
They also make a Nenergy 2.4kWh battery which is selling for around R15,000. But that's not what's on the picture.
There's no such thing as a 2.8kWh version, so that's probably a typo.
The photo is also of the 5.5kW Kool Energy hybrid inverter, not the 2.2kW version. Makes sense, since it's a 48V battery on the image not a 24V.
Look, maybe you're lucky and these batteries just fell off the back of a truck, or maybe it's last year's surplus stock or a mid-month fire sale or something like that.
Or maybe it's just too good to be true. You decide.

waiting for my quote now will keep yall posted

LOL .. i know i asked :

"will you be installing the said equipment pictured on  your ad"

If Payment after the installation, I would jump to the offer. Go for it 😁
