@iamjb i have inboxed you

It's due to these kinds of bad practices that the regulation will be tightened as the risk factors far outway the benefits.

You are welcome.

You havent mentioned what make of battey you have. Those inverters are actually quite smart as they pickup your cell configuration as being incorrect hence the error. Try changing your settings to LF08 which indicates 8 strings and needs a constant charge voltage of 28.4v. Your lipo cell configuration is most likely connected 2s2p hence wont work on LF07/09.

This will definitely work however by what I can see you only having two strings by having 2s3p which means each parallel connection will require an inline fuse at your branch connector.

Congrats on your new solar install

Unfortunately there is no option in their current software to switch to a light theme. There are two solutions though. You can either uninstall the new version and download and install one of their previous versions or you can download tgpro which has the exact same interface as their older versions but just branded with another company name.

You are welcome. Glad to be of assistance.

This is a common problem with the datalogger. Its a directional logger and not omnidirectional. I would suggest that you point the logger in the direction of your modem and restart it. Give it about 5 minutes and that should solve your problem.

Welcome. I would suggest that you ask your questions so that members can respond.

Yes it does switch automatically if the parameter is specified (01) SOL. I personally use this SRNE inverter and can hence confirm this.

I would advise battery first and solar later. I went through the same process and went with lithium first. You will discover the huge difference.

Here is a guide to assist you https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/cable-sizing-selection.html

I'm looking to procure grounding lugs. My regular suppliers are out of stock. Any recommendations in the Cape Town region.

Vmp is important but not as crucial as voc. It's important to work on the controllers maximum allowed voltage as it can be damaged or destroyed if it is exceeded.

Sorry, we unfortunately Cape Town based.

Which area?

Yes it's definitely possible.

Yes. Under the forum tab you will find subsections where users asks questions that are relevant to their queries. You will find listings as an example for Solar or batteries etc. You just need to learn to navigate the website. Just take your time and peruse through the different sections. You will get the hang of it.

Welcome. You are in the right place.

shocking to see all these fraudulant sites

This domain was only registered in May. To be safe i would suggest if you are in the KZN area then rather take a drive to their premises and check it out to be on the safe side before conducting any online business. They could be a legitimate business but rather err on the side of caution.

The challenges they are currently facing is with replacements. Due to stock availability instead of having to replace a panel or two trying to match the panel spec they are forced to replace all of them.
