  1. Same thing here, the highest daily is 1900W but if its cloudy and temperatures drop then when the sun appears, it goes to 2500W but for few minutes like 10-15min then drops back to 1900W. Tried running high consumptions but the PV remains 1900W. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
  2. Disable PV&AC Take Load jointly. All charge times and AC first set to 00:00. Then it will move from house consumption to backup power (EPS).
  3. Hi everyone, any recommendation of a best 20L gas geyser? This electricity is getting out of hand ๐Ÿ™ˆ
  4. I have noticed that mostly on Sundays afternoon it's down, comes back Monday afternoon. ๐Ÿ™ˆ
  5. Good day How do you restart the inverter without Eskom if it switched off due to SOC limit? Still electricity is not back due to cable theft, and my batteries are charging now but still not feeding the house. Please assist.
  6. @Scorp007 can I ask something. My LuxPower 5kw once ran on 7.5k for minutes ๐Ÿ˜“ garden service, it did not give me any alert and it was on house consumption getting power from panels and grid. But one day again the garden service ran it to 5kw and it was on Backup Power (EPS), it gave me a red notice same time. My Question is when it is using the grid straight to house, does that count on limits? Now I monitor the garden service and told them not to use all machines same time.
  7. Can 5KW LuxPower Off Grid SNA connect nonessentials using PV only?
  8. @Gelo Can you please share contacts of your installer. I have the 5KW LuxPower Off Grid SNA, can it include the geyser and stove using PV only?
  9. Haven't tested yet, but it reaches the total volts 302V on a good sunny day, each Open Circuit Voltage is 43.20V. but the watts doesn't exceed 2200W ๐Ÿ˜•
  10. @ZubPower any solution you got lately about this? Same problem here
  11. @PWZet did you get an answers of why it doesn"t pass 2200W?
  12. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ I guess thatโ€™s where good PV brands kick in and get all of its Watts intended to.
  13. @Antonio de Sa I have 7 X 450W facing North and no shade but never reached 3150W ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Maybe it the brand, ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ I donโ€™t know
  14. Try and login and change the Hybrid settings like in the picture. Then go to Discharge settings and set it according to voltage, then set the percentage of the battery you want the grid to start supplying
  15. If I may ask. Are the PV at Five Star reliable? Are see they are cheap and always available ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ
  16. Good day everyone I have a 5kw lux inverter, 2X Greenrich 5kwh Lithium ion batteries and 7X 450W of PV. Everything is connected to the inverter except the geyser and stove. During the day I run my pool pump for 2hrs, and still get my batteries fully charged by 14:00 in a sunny days. When itโ€™s cloudy โ˜๏ธ then I use the grid for 1hr 16:00 - 17:00 and charge the batteries to 100%. I once ran the pool pump and watching machine together, the load was 2.5kw. Question: Can I ask my installer to add the geyser to the inverter? I have bought a timer for the geyser to run it during the day only ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธand in series with the pool pump.
  17. I think the government is trying to get all of those who have solar in their data base, then it will be easy for them to do whatever they want. Think careful before you involve your system with the government, just my 2cent thought ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
