In off-grid, do I plug the generator into Gen port or Grid port?
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.

Evening base loads, what's yours?
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 👌

Earth leakage tripping - Goodwe GW5048-ES
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

Max panels on deye 5kw
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.
