Round trip efficiency of solar system
I think you will only know if you can compare the higher frequency system and then it will also depend where you run your at (running a 4/5kW inverter at mostly 150W will give bad efficiency on most systems) and as p1000 oversize you wires keep runs short.

Sunsynk inverters supplier and support in SA
I have a Victron system and can 100% agree their support is beyond excellent, I first took it up with supplier they took it into the distributor and agreed it was faulty (even gave me a temp MPPT while mine was in (got to love the modular system)) then later had a crazy hard to reproduce issue under very specific conditions, took it up with plonkster and got tier 3 support from the Netherlands with in a day. +1 to Victron in for support

COCT Off grid installation
So to be clear, this system is a standby SSEG - alternative supply and not a standby SSEG passive UPS as an off grid hybrid SSEG (grid assisted and interconnected with electrical installation) I ask too as need to register with the CoCT and have for the most part the same install just another L+N suppling the inverter. Did you installer omit the AC in to the inverter?

Its more when a high wattage load drops the power must go somewhere and goes into the grid for few seconds. Would also be interested in a solution.
