HI All, thanks for this forum! - I really thought I was going crazy, and the units had died. All 3 units were on 3.5.0 - 2 were available to be updated to 3.6.0 and once they were updated - then they were bricked - didn't even turn on manually. Removed these 2 and bypassed to normal DB isolator. The 3rd one is on 3.5.0 and is showing update to 3.6.0. which obviously I don't want to do. How do you get the 3.6.3 version to be available? Or just wait until that update shows up as the current update. Thanks All!

Thank You to HendrikBigChief, and GreenFields. Looks like the path to better solar generation is a chainsaw and some "trimming". Thanks again for the help. Regards,

Thanks Hendrik for the reply. Is this what you are looking for? Section B on my roof is PV-1. Kind Regards, B is

Hi All, Thanks in advance for helping me out. We installed 8kw Sunsynk inverter and 2 x 5 KwH Sunsynk batteries during load shedding. Happy wife. Our house is surrounded by lots of trees and we didnt want to cut down. So inverter and batteries were sunken cost. But now Electricity costs have gone up - and I now had some disposable cash to be able to buy panels. I have now installed 9 x 545w JA Solar panels. 5 panels on the NE-facing Roof. 1 panel is shaded for part of the morning. Zone B 4 Panels on the NW facing Roof. Zone A Yes - it helps - but I'm not getting what I expected. My limited research tells me it may be because too few panels on a string. I did the panel calculator based upon inverter and panels - and it tells me a minimum of 3 panels to get to the 150W needed. Maximum is 9 panels per string. Need your advice on how I should install more panels. I have an area above the garage that could take 4 more panels. But - it is South sloping by 5 degrees - so would put brackets to lift the panels up to 20 degrees to match the existing panels. Do I add the 4 panels to Zone A - so MMPT2 has 2x strings of 4 panels? Or since in same orientation and angle - add them so that string has 8 panels on it? Looking at the specs - I believe that I could probably add Zone C to Zone A in Parallel - as each panel maxes out at 13A - inverter can handle 26A. Or should I rather push the Voltage higher with 8 panels in Series? Advice please. I get 5-6 hours of generation a day in September. (making about 20kWh / day off Panels in A and B Would really appreciate your input and advice. Pic of House from Google Earth.
