Which of these 2 would you go with ? Quite a difference in price , Sunsynk is R10-15k more, is it really worth it ?

thanks Jay, so would you rate them as a good buy at that price point ? any weird issues with them dropping charge etc like the other Hubble ?

do you have more feedback on this Hubble Blade battery ? I see it online for sale at around R55k which seems a great price point.

Hi All... I am looking for +/- 30kw of battery storage and would like to go for 2-3 bigger units over 6x5kw batteries. Whats the best option on the market now with best after sales support etc ? Sunsynk, Freedom Won, Hubble AM10 ? What other brands can I look at ? Will be paired with Sunsynk or Deye 8kw inverters.

So some feedback on the Fox, I have been quoted R500k for 2 x 10.5 inverters, 24 x JA 540w panels and total of 28kw battery storage. 2 x master 4.7kw and 4 x secondary 4.7kw. Install etc for tile roof. What do you guys think ? My only other comparison at this level is 2xDeye 8kw, 26x500w Art Solar panels and 6 x Hubble AM2 which comes to R470k.

Had no reply from Segen Solar since last Friday... M Solar Power have assisted with details for someone in Durban, now just pending prices from them.

Hi. I am looking for recommended installers / suppliers in Durban please. For 2x10kw inverters and total 2 x 16kw battery banks + 26 x 500w panels.

seems the Fox set up would be about R36k more than what I have been quoted on the Deye + Hubble. But already not happy as they quoted on Hubble AM2... What is the local back up and aftersales support like with Fox ? I just need to find someone in Durban who supplies or is happy to work with them.

cool thanks. the only big stuff that will be running at night is max 2 aircons [1x18000 and 1x12000] during summer and a fridge and deep freezer. all outdoor lights etc will be solar spots.

Thank you, I was thinking that also. I will look into 2 or 3 bigger batteries.

In terms of the installer I am leaning towards, they have done like 70% of the houses in the estate. Furthermore the developers are good friends and they have used these guys for personal work also, so it seems they have a good track record. Its alot of cash to dump in, like R450k+ , so firstly want to make sure that the equipment being used is good. I know Deye is good, the solar panels are coming from Art Solar and the Hubble AM2 may be something to reconsider after reading many negatives about them. Will it be better to get Pylon UP5000c or perhaps Sunsynk ?

Thanks for the replies. So at our current place, my statement is showing usage at 34kwh/day. But here we are still on an electric stove and use it a few times a day to prep kids meals etc. Then its the washing machine probably 6-8 times a week. 3 aircons in this place, 2x18000btu and 1x12000btu. 2 of the 3 get used for probably 12 hours a day total in summer. Day useage is high, at night its just 1 AC in summer. So its difficult to guess what it will be at the new place, but we are willing to change and adapt to the system like using the high draw appliances during peak hours only, skipping washing on cloudy days etc. The heat pump and pool pumps can be on a timer to be used only during peak sunlight hours. So yes, we are open to change our way of living.

Hi All. I am currently building a new home and about 3 months away from moving in. I am looking to invest in a good system upfront and have this installed before moving in. I have been in discussions with a few companies in Durban, but I feel the advise from them is not all that great. The house will be a 450sqm, 4 bed, with a pool, home office and gym. Gas stove, heat pump for geyser and a heat pump for the pool. Aircons in all rooms. We are a small family, 3 of the rooms will be used, and not more than 3 aircons will be used at the same time. What would be the ideal system for this. I was given the below as a guideline. I am just wondering if this is maybe an overkill ? I was told that if we use the batteries everynight to run the house, on days with low sunlight we will use alot of Eskom to top up the batteries and thats going to cost us alot more in the long run. I would really appreciate some input as this is quite a large investment and I need to be sure its done correctly. 2x8kw inverters, Deye or Sunsynk 26x500w black panels, has to be black due to estate rules. 6x5.5kw Hubble AM2 Li
