Thanks all. I check out Solar Advice's website. Really informative and has all calculators etc to work everything out yourself. Spoke to Leon there, super helpful, got a great deal and now all installed. Highly recommend their Fusion / Deye system https://solaradvice.co.za/product/fusion-8kw-4-8kwh-lithium-ion-solar-power-kit/

This was a discussion I had on Solarway chat today asking for some guidance: Solarway: Welcome to our site, if you need help simply reply to this message, we are online and ready to help. Me:Hi Solarway: hello there Solarway: how are you Solarway: how may we assist ? Me: The Growat inverters Me: Are they hybrid inverters? Solarway: yes all our inverters are hybrid inverters Me: Ok so the blend AC and DC energy? Solarway: you cannot mix them together at the same time Solarway: you can changeover from AC to DC Me: As far as I am aware, true hybrid inverters blend both AC input and DC whereas off grid inverters either only use DC or AC energy at a time and never both so The growatt inverters you say are hybrid Solarway: the inverter has both Solarway: ac and dc Solarway: however it cannot be used at the same time , that is not possible on inverters Me: The Deye inverters can Me: Goodwe too Solarway: deye inverters are super hybrid Is there any other company that can assist with advising on the correct system and products that you can trust knows what they are talking about?

Yes, but they are second life batteries. They have been taken out of facilities and resold. They have 3500 cycles at max. They get brought in and relabeled as Revov. They are not comparable to the New BYD batteries. Huge dispute. Contact Afriplus to verify.

Are the Axpert inverters authorized? The prices seem to be very close

A friend bought 3 x 5kva Synerji hybrid inverters and connected them in parallel, however there is an issue with the monitoring the data on the software or ICC. I have done some more research on them and they are re-brands of Must power units, also assuming they are copies of the Voltronic inverters? https://solaradvice.co.za/product/synerji-5kva4kw-48v-hybrid-inverter-60a-mppt/ Apparently you require a router / modem to communicate correctly. Any other way that they can be connected for monitoring?

I too don't quite understand the intent behind the new EM models either. The price is so close to the ES models and can't compare at all. They are also available from the same place https://solaradvice.co.za/product/hybrid-inverter/ The only thing I don't like about these units is the fact you can't run them in parallel.
