  1. Apologies I have an OCI-MX 7.2Kva inverter (off-grid) so my inverter is hybrid with all the load shedding my inverter is hardly idle but let me check my number on Solar Assistant
  2. Duplicate pls ignore apologies !
  3. Hi All, I am wanting to heat my pool but I don’t want to use Eskom at all, I have 16x 550w panels, should I use my existing panels or do I need to install new panels with a new inverter etc? I’m thinking of going with a 13kw heat pump….my pool is around 55000L suggestions and thoughts welcome please thank you in advance
  4. Has anyone had this installed? would like to know the pros and cons my current solar setup gets me between 9-17kwh per day. I would only like to run my heat pump off my solar panels during the day when the sun is at is highest. any suggests?
  5. Thank you jumper. Do you perhaps have any documentation on this?
  6. Ok that’s good to know, thank you so much. Our usage trend does look very similar 👏🏽 I appreciate the responses 👍🏼🙏
  7. The battery power graph? For 30 days We can see where eskom increased our loadshedding
  8. Thank you so much. @Nexuss how do I check this on solar assistant?
  9. Yes and they’ve been installed for 47 days, my question is with this amount of cycling won’t that decrease the battery life? I already have 59 cycles on pack 1 and 47 cycles on pack 2. Is this normal?
  10. Hi forum, I have had my batteries installed for around 1 1/2 months and I have 59 cycles on the one battery and 47 cycles on the other, is this a lot? I’m concerned that the batteries will need replacement quite soon…pls help
  11. Thanks Abd7. Sorted. the dips switches were incorrectly set. 👏🏽👏🏽🤙🤙
  12. Hi All, I connected up my cable and voila I have the stats I was looking for, thank you all for all the guidance. Really appreciate it. One thing I have 2x 5.12 SHOTO SDC-Box5 batteries however the stats are showing 100ah capacity, is this correct?
  13. I bought the cable....:-) waiting to connect

    Hi Guys, Anyone know who has stock of batteries?
  15. I’ve got SHOTO batteries https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/shoto so this is the one that goes from the SA to battery right
  16. Hi there, I have the app and PI working but I’m struggling to get proper metrics off for my battery. Most of the guys say I when the incorrect cables. if you can help I would appreciate it
  17. Hi, I recently purchased the software for SA and then couldn’t get hold of a raspberry PI which then led me to buy the PI with the software from Solar Assistant. I’m looking to sell the software now and transfer the licencing as it’s no longer required. would just like to cover my cost of R899 but offers are welcome. thanks,
  18. I got it connected from the Solar Assistant device to the battery, changed the connection in SA battery settings to USB /DALY UART, connected successfully but now I’m getting 0% SOC and a bunch of packs in my SA views. I suspect that this cable is a problem. 🤦🏼‍♂️
  19. Do I connect this cable to the inverter and battery?
  20. Yes it does. is this cable correct?
  21. Yes it does. is this cable correct?
