  1. I have bought a deye 5kw pure sine wave with a Pylontech battery. I cannot find a timer setting to "use" the Pylontech at night without switching Municipality power off. Any experience? Will ICC software work to manipulate the inverter?
  2. Gents. Have any one connected a Pylontech in parallel with lead acid 48 v battery string ? see attached discussion. https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/19981/mixing-lead-acid-and-lithium.html
  3. Hi Guys. Any expierence with a Phocos PSW-H Any-Grid 5Kw inverter and Pylontech Lithium Ion 3.5kW US3000 Battery combination. The Phocos PSW-H seems to be a Frid tied or Hybrid, depending on you're applicaton. I personall have not heard about this brand. I am desciding on the above solution or an Axpert Inverter MKS 5K-48v MkII 120-450Vdc with a Pylontech Lithium Ion 3.5kW US3000 Battery combination.
  4. I have a Hexing prepaid, will this trip or reverse feed?

  6. Gents. I have 4x180ah lead acid battery connected in series working from a 5kva axpert inverter. Can I add capacity by adding a 3.5 kw pylontech lithium battery in parallel? https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829025/files/PE_070_Christiane.pdf
  7. Small mistake🥴. The cable I received with inverter is a normal RJ 45 cable and the other end is a a serial connection. The other end i use a converter tochange the Serial port to USB. where can I get a usb board?
  8. This is the problem I currently have. Seems that ICC will be phasing out the support of Rs232 and only support usb interface. I am currently using ICC on a PI via RS232/ serial port with usb/rs232 converter.
  9. I bought an Axpert 7 months ago never to realize the comms port is a serial port RS232. Can this board/board be swapped with a USB interface?
  10. How do you get the battery to go to 50% on DOD? my inverter switch back on 44v. what will the voltage be at 50% DOD?
  11. Hi Terrible Triplet, what do you mean with this statement? Are you saying the Axpert can “kickstart “ the solis? Or just by using them together and when the power goes out the Axpert will be the only working inverter, I guess this is what you mean
  12. I have used a Solis for over a year now, highly recommend if you wanna save money. Load shedding however is a problem due to the fact that it mist switch of when no grid is available
  13. Interesting, thx you have answered my question. That means i can get1 Pylontech to replace my lead acid and potentially have 500 wh hour more of usage then.
  14. I want to relplace my lead acid batteries with a Pylontech. I have 4x180 la battery in series. P=Ixv that means 8640W however the DOD is only to 44v . Uou can not use 8640w die tot the 80% DOD Now how does then relate Pylontech 2400 or3500w, how many Pylontech’s will be needed to replace my current lead acid?
  15. Gents. What list are you referring to?
  16. Very interesting video thanks a million. Looking at my current Axpert Hybrid and Solis GTi with youre suggestion I might as well just replace the Solis with a Victron🥴
  17. Has anoyne found a way to trick a Grid tie inverter to work during load shedding? I know the GTI must switch off when there is no grid but its such a waist

    Hi do tou still in stock?
  20. Hi, I am looking for a Victron BMV-700 Battery Monitor in Centurion area. Any ideas?
  21. That sounds like a potential bomb in the making. is it feasible to to first put the GTI the the Hybrid gong to the DB. Should the mains then be interrupted the Hybrid will be the only one working. We dont have load shedding any more and at night this can get rid of the 500 w load throughout the night. I have checked this load comes from the security cameras routers. or is it just better to split everything in parallel and put the essential loads on the Hybrid?
  22. The grid tied can not feed back to the grid as it has a clamp on the municipality feed blocking the feed. This should then be a gatekeeper. So the idea is municipality into mecer inverter in and then the output going to the solis and this into the DB BOX. Thanks for the responses thus far.
  23. I have currently got a grid tied solution which works great when the sun shines and the grid is up. Can I install a Hybrid solution first and keep my grid tied? In theory the Hybrid will trick the grid tied that the the grid is still up. When the sun is down the grid tied will switch off and I will het back up power from Hybrid system. Is my assumption correct?
