@Scorp007 or @JayMardern You guys sound like electrical boffins. Would you mind doing a call with me I have a question or two to ask if possible. my number is ZERO 8 two 5 27 93 92 Matt

I dont want to switch settings everyday. I want to connect and leave as if. If there is no solar then GRID can work its magic.

@Scorp007 thank you for the 2c. I fully agree that 2.2kwP is not going to cut it to heat up the geyser completely. The idea is to add more panels soon but thats for another topic. Generally there is not much going on during the day at home and the idea is to heat up the geyser during the day so that I can substitube the grid with the solar inseat of using ONLY grid to heat the geyser at other times of the day. -> if it costs 7kWh to heat up I would like to add some solar to substitue rather than 7kW at night with no solar substitue. I think you did answer my question, indirectly. Basically I cannot use GRID power to substitute on AUX load. So leave the Geyser on Non-Essentials. I agree on getting to knwo system, thats why I made the post. To find out if AUX load can accept GRID power. Thanks for the 2c Matt

Hi all, Im sure the topic has been covered at some stage so please dont shoot me if its a repeat post. Setup: - 5kW Hybrdi Sunsynk Inverter - 5kW REVOV B100 First Life Lithium Battery - 4 x 550watt Candian Solar in one single array on one MPPT Geyser wired to non-essentail CT Coil is located right above the Main incomming Circuit Breaker so it measures all the power coming to my home. Background: - I know there are different ways of harnessing the daily sun power to heat up the geyser. I would like to tap into this. The idea is to charge up the battery in the morning untill noon and then have the excess solar energy be put toward heating up the geyser and then turning the geyser off in the afternoon with the timer or remote app. - From what I gather then Sunksynk can dump excess solar energy into the non-essentials once the battery is charged. As far as I understand this is done by ticking the "Solar feed to non-essentails" -> As shown in the video below BUT and here is the big BUT, I know one can also connect the geyser to the AUX line and se tthe inverter to dump excess solar enerrgy there during the day after the battery is charged and the house is not using all the solar energy. Now here comes my QUESTION: #1 What is the best way to set up the geyser? Should I rather have the geyser on the AUX line OR as part of non-essentials and tick the "export solar" button in the work mode 2 screen? #2 If I do put it on the AUX connection and What if its a rainy/cloudy day and there is no excess energy to go to the AUX so the geyser wont heat up? Can I then take GRID power directly to the AUX line on the Sunsynk and how do I do this? # 3 How does the sunsynk put power on non-Essentials without passing it back throught the main breaker? is this what the trickle power is for? then basically its like taking water from two pipes (Grid power and Solar power) into the same stream (i.e geyser heating) I would love to hear the toughts of others
