Hi We are about to give the go ahead for solar but the installer, who quoted us on Sunsynk inverter and batteries (at our request), has now suggested we use Hubble batteries instead which are rated 1C compared to Sunsynk at 0.5C (even if rated 1C, apparently is more like 0.5C and > than that may make the warranty void anyway). We will have 1 x 8kw inverter and two 5kW batteries. The installer feels the Sunsynk batteries will only be able to give ~2.5kWh per battery, while the Hubble will give us nearly 5kWh. I understand we have a better warranty if we use both Sunsynk inverter and batteries but that is not my main concern. I am interested in better output and efficiency. Another option suggested by the installer, would be to install a 3rd Sunsynk battery. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and comments. Many thanks Z

Hi We are about to go solar and have had numerous quotes. Before confirming one, I need to know that we are getting a setup that will fit our needs: 1 x 8 kVa Sunsync inverter 2 x 5 kWh Sunsync batteries 14 x JA Solar panels 545W Property: average 55KWh / day (Only one account but cottage has separate Db board) Essentials: Main house - lights/plugs/alarm/Wifi/fridge/small freezer/TV Outbuilding - small fridge / lights / plugs Cottage - lights / plugs / alarm / Wifi / fridge / TV Non-essentials Air cons / geysers (put on timers or would be nice to have at last 2 on essentials maybe?) / swimming pool pump (on timer) / 2 x washing machines / 2 x dishwashers / 2 x ovens (stoves - gas) Will the system quoted do this and how best to setup the system? Can I put things as Aux instead of non-essential? I am dealing with the quotes as my husband is too busy (and most probably as clueless as I am :)). Trying to get my head around all the terminology so would really appreciate some advice, tips etc. Many thanks.
