Stabes reacted to swazz99jhb in Equipment for new basic installationI started with a Sunsynk 5 and the Hubble AM2 and added panels later. 2 years later and I'm still happy. Had some issues with a dead cell in the Hubble, but the entire cell pack were replaced under warranty without problems.

Stabes reacted to JamesF in Deye / SynSynk / VictronI have my whole house on the SunSynk EXCEPT: Stove, oven, pool pump and geyser.
4 bedroom house, 2 kids:
Average general consumption hovers between 400 - 700Wh. So with that, I get 9 to 11 hours without the sun. However, I do boil kettle, use microwave and air fryer for breakfast/dinner times, so that can consume.
During the day with sun - easy the whole house, including fans, dishwasher, washing machine, iron - no problems.
Here is an average day usage (yesterday).

Stabes reacted to mzezman in Deye / SynSynk / VictronApologies i should have explained clearer. The Deye inverter (for example) has 2 MPPTs
The Deye MPPT has a limit for panels in series (voltage). Once you reach that limit you can then add panels in parrallel to the same MPPT which increases current but maintains the voltage. However if you wanted more in-series panels (more voltage) then you would need more MPPTs

Stabes reacted to zivva in Deye / SynSynk / VictronVictron if cost is irrelevant...
Deye / SunSynk would most likely be able to do the job but Victron user interface & apps are better.
That could be easily solved by using Solar Assistant with a Deye or SunSynk though ...

Stabes reacted to mzezman in Deye / SynSynk / VictronThe design philosophies are quite different.
Victron is often touted as the cream of the crop inverters available in SA - think of it as a BMW / Merc in price. It is also modular, so the inverter inverts, then you get a seperate MPPT to connect your panels then you get a sepearete charge controller to manage your batteries and then another box for system monitoring and management. I believe they may have all in one units but in general theirs is a modular approach
Deye (OEM) and Sunsynk (rebrand) are all in one units with the charge controller, MPPT, inverter and monitoring in one. So they are thus cheaper. In terms of functionality there is little to choose between them. Think of them as the Hyundai / Kias - not cheap but not Merc price while still offering great value.

They all very good products when installed competently and scaled correctly towards your needs.
Do you wish for a Victron quote? , theres members on the forum that can point you in the required direction. @Steve87is one supplier I can think of.
