  1. So rather than create a new topic, I'll post here. If anyone has time to look at this design, any comments will be appreciated.
  2. The 8kw is R629 more on special, or am I seeing it wrong? Special is R35704, normal is R35075

  4. That's a good question. I'm designing my system and though this Aux thing sounds great. Put the Pool & Geyser on AUX. Then use excess power to run those during the day. IF we need to heat up the geyser at night, switch to 'On Grid Always On' to draw from grid, or even if it's been cloudy and we need to run the pool. Now you raised the question. If LOAD (Essentials) are running and the conditions are met to run AUX (Non-essentials), and together they draw over 5Kw, will the inverter trip? Or even if 'On Grid Always On' is set, and AUX & LOAD draw over 5Kw will it trip? If this is the case it might make sense to put a bypass switch in, run non-essentials from AUX or from the grid, and don't touch 'On Grid Always On'. Anyone know?

  6. Hi to everyone on this forum, I'm slowly investigating how to get into solar. So far I'm probably going with a 5Kw Sunsynk inverter and a 5.12Kwh Hubble AM-5 Battery. Panels maybe if I have any money. The idea being I can add another inverter and more batteries later. My question is regarding the component diagram of a setup. I've seen several online but they all seem to go through the inverter, where if the inverter fails and needs to go in for repairs it looks like your system will be down? Also I'd like to price all the extras that may be needed. Does anyone have a diagram for a hybrid system, with all the breakers/bypass switches and everything required for such a system? TIA, Robert On a sidenote we're converting our thatch house to a tiled thatch house, this will make installing solar panels a lot easier going forward.
