  1. Since I’ve only had this setup for a week. hahaha. Now that I’m becoming more knowledgeable . I won’t ask anymore stupid questions. 😉 Will just try and let other know what I learn. shot everyone.
  2. Weird question. Is there anyway on the app or dashboard to see ur PV production for a day in the past. just as a matter on interest ?
  3. It’s a good exercise. I’ll try crunch the numbers. however maybe I just throw a 2kw element into my geyser and then be happy I can get a constant charge out of the current panels. May be a cheaper option.
  4. Maybe I’ll throw 2 more panels below then horizontally and see if I can get some more juice. I’m just very short on roof space. Haha. Thanks everyone. Appreciate it.
  5. Thanks for all the replies. Do appreciate it. The panels are all in series. One line. Well in that case I can’t complain. The maths is to higher grade for me, but makes sense. I just thought I would see some sort of fluctuation in the mid day range. And not a flat line. but I will be happy with what I got cause it’s seems to get to max by 10:30. So can’t complain.
  6. This is true in my case. Fiber changed the world. 😂
  7. Will get back up there and take it off tomorrow. Thanks.
  8. Busy testing that at the moment, but the flat line is what is concerning me, not even like a little hows ur mother ill give you 2.6 for a minute or 2. I get the same performance at 11:00 as 13:30, i will carry on pushing to later through the day, but seems to be flatlining like a champion. :0 That sir I'm afraid i don't know how to answer... Is there a setting or something i should be looking at or something i can do? Or is this something i need to ask the installer?
  9. Thanks for the replies. I do appreciate it. OK here is what I've got so far. Panel placement, directly North and i can only assume my roofs tilt is around 30%. I'm in Johannesburg. This was taken at 11:00, so the most shading that can occur is done. Panel stats, they the PNG144M-555 at the end This is my max PV input at any time. This is my PV box thingy, im not sure if this could limit anything. Things I have tried: - Moved the PV to priorities load, as i thought the max charge on my battery of 50A may have been the cause. - Checked the max Solar Power setting is 9000W. - Scratched my head a lot and watched YouTube videos and tried to find any solutions. Here are a couple more snaps of my settings incase this means anything. Appreciate any help i can get. Shot, Sav.
  10. Hello everyone. Just installed a 8kw SunSynk, 5kw battery and 6 x 550 or 555 watt panels in a line on my north facing roof. Its two stories up so not much shading. The battery and inverter seem to be working well and playing with the settings to try minimize grid power has been much fun. However during the day my panels at any stage only seem to reach max 2.2kw. I even try and force more load onto them to peak higher, but cant seem to get more juice. Question: - Is there a chance that 2 of them are faulty? - Is there any limiting factor that could be preventing them from performing on my inverter? - Did i get hoodwinked and get sold 350w panels even though they seem to big for those :0 - Or is there something that I am missing completely? This is a graph of what i am trying to explain, between about 11:30 and 12:30 i ran my geyser to try and see if i could suck more watts out of the panels. But to no avail. As u can see my general PV output is never more then 2.1 kw all day. Any advice would be amazing. Thanks, Sav
