    Grant Nomel posted a topic in Starting In Solar? Feel free to introduce yourself
    Hi. I am new to forum and am in the Garden Route. I have a 8kw Synsynk inverter, Sunsynk 10kw battery and 14x 500w solar panels. I manually heat 2x 150lt geysers with 2kw elements, connected with wifi & the CBi app. I am busy connecting a total of 12000lt of watertanks to run two houses (on one property.) I have purchased a 1.1kw pump, but have received conflicting advice on the pump. Apparently on start up, the amps can double or triple, and can either damage the solar panels or reduce the life of the battery. What options can I look at to protect my solar system from the pump start up, if necessary?
