  1. Production for June in Cape Town is about 50-60% down on summer solar production :(
  2. R300 Ea - that is about what they are worth.
  3. Convert your geyser with a Geyserwise kit - this includes a PTC element which can run from Eksdom and solar at the same time, or seperate.
  4. How old is this panels?

    They have batteries??? Been using mine the last 15yrs, never had to change a battery. Maybe the newer models??
  6. Yes - In a backup system, phase locking a backup port to a generator (gen) port refers to synchronizing the backup power source's output with the generator's output, ensuring a smooth transition and preventing power surges or disruptions when switching between them. This is crucial for maintaining a stable power supply during outages or maintenance.
  7. This Address of - Helen Eve 11, Blackheath, Cape Town does not exist!! Closest address to that is - 11 Helene Ave, Blackheath, Cape Town, 7581, which seem to be a tyre shop. SUN4SAFE = Damn lame scammers!
  8. Yes, you can use Home Assistant. Search on the forum you will get a lot of hits for "how to"
  9. It will work with that config.

    The language used is French. The sentence translates to: "Can a 5.5kW Deye inverter be connected in parallel with a 6kW Deye inverter? Answer - Yes, it's possible to connect a 5.5kW Deye inverter in parallel with a 6kW Deye inverter, but it's crucial to follow specific guidelines for compatibility and safety
  11. Google Maps street view show that address as Bearing business! Street View · Google MapsStreet View · Google MapsExplore a place in a more immersive way in Google Maps.
  12. This ups is sold brand new with How the china factory rated this at 1000VA is unknown! I have opened a couple of blown 1000VA Mecer / RCT / K-Star / PSS line interactive units, they all come with this crappy battery setup. Why your ups is behaving the way it does - probably something on the pc bord.
  13. Gift him a chainsaw on his birthday 😂

    There is literally hundreds of clowns promoting "free energy" gadgets on YT - it is all a myth~! 😆
  15. My base load is slightly lower than yours ± 800w. With our short days and long winter nights you need a lot of juice to get to sunrise without dipping in Eksdom. With your load (+1Kw) you will not make it without extra juice. If you take it down to 20% soc this will give you ± 11.44kw to drain. Our dark/no solar hours is now about 13Hrs. Another battery will fix you up 👌
  16. When a business start changing names .... be very careful...
  17. Just cool the inverter down with fans, like explained by various people - cheap ans easy fix.
  18. I had the same issue, sometimes it will not trip for a week or 2 and then suddenly keep tripping. After 2 different electricians could not pin point the problem ( i don't blame them) a friend who is a marine electrician suggested that i remove all the surge plugs ±12 and replace with normal plugs and install a Hagar CD264J EL - END OF PROBLEM ☺️ https://www.em.co.za/CD264J
  19. Never believe anything Eksdom say !
  20. Looks like it is LiFePO4 https://batterydistributors.co.za/product/leoch-lfeli-48100s/
  21. Ridiculous, sounds more like they want to collect early bonus! I would get a different/better electrician.
  22. Add this scammers to the list - Infinity Group of Companys - https://infinitygroupcompanies.co.za/index.php/product/200ah-48v-rosen-lithium-battery-wall-mountable/?srsltid=AfmBOor5h8kS9N1x5FxnhZUdgFaNZd74pJwcbn7HWqiLjkOTzTa67Sni https://www.hellopeter.com/infinity-group-companies 16 Hellopeter reports - all negative!! Steer clear

    Do you run a factory, or is this just a typo 😃
  24. Demo replied to Jeppe's topic in Inverters
    Max will be 2 more of the same panel in 2 strings of 6 each. The 12 x 550 will put you just over the 6500w max, but the excess will just be clipped by the inverter. Voc will not be a problem with 2 strings of 6 each.
  25. They seem to change name every other month ... be very careful.... solar shop in Kuruman>>??
