  1. Deye 8kw is the better buy
  2. Lead acid and gel use the same type of charger, so it will be inter changeable. It is very unlikely for that Ellies trolley to be compatible with charging. lithium correctly.
  3. Yes, it is possible to add more of the same batteries in parallel - Deye inverters typically support up to 8 to 16 batteries in parallel (e.g., 48V models), depending on the specific model, BMS limitations, and firmware. As @Denns mentioned is it worth it? If the aim is to get rid of Eksdom and you have the money - absolutely do it, and add some solar panels.
  4. Good news for people with solar power in South AfricaEskom has extended its free registration period for households and businesses with hybrid and grid-tied rooftop solar power systems under 100kWp.
  5. Yeah, cooling only ☺️
  6. I have a older normal 12k btu AC and a new 12k inverter, the difference in power usage under the same conditions is about 1600w vs 900w .
  7. In this Alphabet economy they only look for the easy buck!
  8. Early Morning Sun: At 07H30, the sun is low on the horizon, providing weak, indirect sunlight. In this low-light environment, all strings produce low power, and the differences in orientation (e.g., East vs. West) or length are negligible. If it stay the same at 12 something is wrong.
  9. Maybe you are getting a bulk discount 😃
  10. You don't mention the most crucial part - the solar panels 🙂
  11. It is 16k new ... your price is too high!
  12. I trust BWH will refund you - you know what they say about something too good to be true...... 😃
  13. Yip, around 50% of new price is reasonable.

    You need a slow curve type C or D breaker.
  15. ........ and the criminal is doing the same thing while on bail!! This kind of idiot belongs in jail - forever!

    Seems like a faulty dongle?
  17. Yeah, something like this - https://livestainable.co.za/products/kd-solar-13-25-degrees-adjustable-v-frame-bracket-for-portrait-mounting?variant=43682114863284&country=ZA&currency=ZAR&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20262366876&gclid=Cj0KCQiAm9fLBhCQARIsAJoNOcv3a8wtwJPxFgV1ajCaRBp18HIFnhZiqFcMXpBTcdkQMxvwbMRHPMMaAhl6EALw_wcB
  18. Yeah 2.9 degrees is probably to flat to clear the water over the aluminum edges?
  19. How much surge protectors in the house? Too much can cause nuisance tripping... a good sparkie pointed me to a Hagar CD264J - https://www.em.co.za/CD264J?quantity=1 Problem fixed 😃
  20. You need to bump the price down to get positive bumps 😁
  21. If Eksdom threaten to cut people with solar from the grid, mission accomplished - no need to ask them to disconnect you - lol 😃
  22. Demo replied to mossie.jhb's topic in Inverters
    That looks like the CT Clamp icon.
  23. Definitely something wrong in your software/sensor negative temp on the DC is impossible when AC seem correct at 48
