  1. Good day Everyone, I purchased and installed 2 x 6kVA Lux Power inverters and install them a year ago (2025-07-26). The two inverters are working in parallel. A month ago I noticed that the voltage on the display indicated 120 V (on Both inverters from the solar panel strings) (this was at 09:30 on a clear sunny day). The charging of the batteries was also slow. I isolated the solar string and switched it back on and the voltage jumped to 288 V on the display. The battery charging doubled immediately. I did the same on the other inverter with the same result. We installed a 6kVA at my daughters house and they complained that their system do not fully charge the batteries. They had the same problem. Their unit also stuck on 120 V. I switched the solar string off and on again and immediately their battery charged at twice the current. Has anyone encountered the same problem? Johan
  2. Pacific Solar is in Midrand you can contact them directly.
  3. Yes I bought 3 Pacific Solar Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries 3 years ago. Very Good battery It has an internal cycle counter which is great. I have added 3 more batteries 3 years later. I can recommend them.
  4. Hi Side winder, Thank you for the pointers I will work through them. I'll have to check points 1 & 2 as I did not check that I live in Krugersdorp. Thanks again for getting back to me - Much appreciated!! Johan
  5. Good Day Everyone, I have installed a RCT 5,6kVA Infinisolar, Hybrid, grid-tie inverter in June 2022 and its working fine. I have installed a second RCT 5,6kVA Infinisolar last week as per the user manual recommendations. Upgraded the batteries to 6 x 5,12 kW Pacific Lithuim-ion batteries. I wanted to parallel the two inverters, but I'm unable to get them to work in parallel. Can someone recommend a solar installer with RCT inverter experience to help me to get the system up and running? Your comments and recommendations is appreciated. Regards. - Johan

  7. My sister have a Sunmagic 3000W/24V inverter (It must be a clone). I would like to know if the stripes in the battery icon gets less when the battery is being discharged? It seems that on her inverter it shows full all the time.
