  1. Cool, that make sense, thank you.
  2. yes I saw that about the battery level, thought there was a way to change it on the inverter
  3. Hi guys, on the Luxpower SNA500 can I use the dry contact to activate the contactor relay and create the Earth/Neutral bond. I tried testing for continuity on the dry contact NO1, Com and NC1 pins but it does not seem to complete the circuit, whether AC In is on or off, is there a setting on the inverter to activate this...or what can I use to activate the contactor relay

    Solar Rebate

    Cool....so do they just need the Invoice showing the price and spec of panels from our installer along with the COC or is there more requirements, I know it only applies for 2023

    Solar Rebate

    Hi...has anyone here applied for the Solar Panel Rebate, what are the actual requirements....does the rebate apply to the actual solar panel price or to the total bill for the install.

    Thanks....planning on fitting 8 panels, so 4 either side on a larger section of the roof so that it will fit...thanks for all the valuable input and advise guys.

    thanks for the info....on the pvc conduit, is there a bracket available that can be used to secure the conduit to the roof tiles

    How does one install 6 of these panel on the apex of a roof, 3 on East wing and 3 of West wing without running a cable over the apex. I can connect 2 in Series on each wing and run that string to the combiner box or branch connector...but how do I connect the remaining single panels on each wing of the roof in series. Do I go over the apex or the long way around or is there a better solution to this problem.....cannot add another 2 panels due to space
  9. To be honest I am not even sure if locally manufactured or now, panels seem to be of decent quality and good value for money

    PV Cable

    true but from all pics that I have seen, it seems like standard practice to leave them loose which I'm not comfortable with either

    PV Cable

    how are you guys running the PV cable on roofs etc, is it good practice to run them via conduit pipes or just tucked neatly into the rails
  12. Ok cool, will be installing 4 x 550w panels
  13. Will the inverter MPPT only work once Nominal Operating Voltage is met or will it work fine within the Pv voltage range. Nominal operating voltage = 360Vdc Pv voltage range = 90 to 450Vdc

    cool...will be using 550w Alaska panels...VOC 49.65 at 14.13A...or am I reading it wrong, so max panels would be 8

    forgive my silly question please...but where did the figure 12 come from in this equation...would that be the number of panels "10 amp x 12 is 120 amps." as in 120 / 10 amp of each panel = 12 panels

    thank you for that, this is exactly what I need to hear, much appreciated.....was definitely confused about 2S5P with 5S2P.

    cool thanks, will 6 panels in series on a single string work.....then can maybe add a 2nd string of 6panels at a later stage

    I want to install 10 x 550watt panels, so not sure if system will handle it or would it be better if I use 2 strings of 5 panels each.
  19. Hi, based on the Inverter specs in the pic, how many solar panels can the unit handle, numbers of strings etc to get the best out of it

    Svolt Battery

    works well for its price range, comes with a 5 year warranty
  21. looks like a 8kva Fivestar Inverter
  22. did you manage to get this working using any other wifi data logger.
