The Sun Pays 5.5Kva VMII Axpert type Inverter any good?
I bought an Axpert VMII from them and 3 years later still good, I have now upgraded to a Deye Inverter... I never had problems with mine, and looking to sell it as I no longer have use for it

Volta 5.12kWh Lithium-ion Battery
Just a quick question. Do any of you guys got experience with these Volta 5.12kWh Lithium-ion Battery, are they any good, short comings, any review would be great - I need more info as to should i invest in buying some - want to use it with a Deye 5KW Hybrid Inverter. I have search for some reviews but no such luck.....

I got a 5K inverter for sale asking R7000.00 for it, bought it but cannot run parallel with my other 5K inverter (this one it's not compatible as this is high voltage and software version)

Solar Geyser Installers in JHB?
I got a question for my learned friends, I got spare solar power from my current system that I could use for the geyserwise solar solution, my question is how would I go about to connect the current system to the gyeserwise system if possible?

Newbee - Advice required on Axpert MKSII 4000W solar installation
Hi Coulomb, I had to keep the Volts down and upped the Amps so that I could add more panels, I placed 3 panels in parallel (lowering Volts) and then series the 2 sets (higher Amps) with a ultra fast fuses between the 2 sets, I wanted to buy the inline fuses but could not get them in time so I opted for a normal fuse/holder. The pictures are the combiner box closest to the panels on the side of my roof, with cable going down to my Inverter where I also got a bigger fuse/holder installed to handle the Amps before connecting to the Inverter.

Newbee - Advice required on Axpert MKSII 4000W solar installation
Morning Vijen, got the same setup as you got and this is how I did my panel configuration, 3 Panels combined in series: Pmax = 3 x 325 watts = 975 watts Voc=137.4v Isc=9.15A Use a 12A fuse 3 Panels combined in parallel: Pmax = 3 x 325 watts = 975 watts Voc=45.8v Isc=27.45A Use a 32A fuse 2 x Series combined in parallel: Pmax = 2(3 x 325) watts = 1950 watts Voc= 137.4v Isc= 18.3A Use a 32A fuse 2 x Parallel combined in series: Pmax = 2(3x 325) watts = 1950 watts Voc= 91.6v Isc= 27.45A Use a 32A fuse per string and a 63A close to the inverter With this setup I can add another 6 panels in parallel to my inverter thus would run with 3900 watts, with a combiner box closest to the panels on the roof. Do Our learned friends agree with this setup?

Expanding my current setup
Morning learned friends, I want to expand my solar array from 6 * 325w panels to 12 * 325w panels, the current setup is as follows: Each panel: Pmax = 325 watts Voc=45.8v Isc=9.15A 2 * 3 Series combined in parallel: Pmax = 2(3 * 325) watts = 1950 watts Voc= 137.4v Isc= 18.3A use a 25A fuse I want to add another 6 panels but this time in series to up my Amps and lower my Volts to get from 1950 watts to 3900 watts in total which is still under my inverter specs. Axpert 5kva/4000w rated 80A / 145VDC This is what I am thinking of doing, by lowering the VDC and up the Amps, thus my question is I got a combiner box, and what / how do I need to redesign the box to make it work on the following setup, as I need to take 4 parallel strings and series them all together. 3 Panels combined in parallel: Pmax = 3 * 325 watts = 975 watts Voc=45.8v Isc=27.45A use a 32A fuse 2 * 3 Parallel combined in series: Pmax = 2(3 * 325) watts = 1950 watts Voc= 91.6v Isc= 27.45A use a 32A fuse

Victron grid tied setup from scratch
Morning TTT, I also got some "Fuse Holderswith LED" at ACDC but for some reason I don't see any LED on with my current system, I need to take it back for a refund, where did you buy yours

Bus bars
Morning Admiral, I bought my busbars from ACDC and they where not that expensive, follow the link; they got some already threaded ones that is easy to use and they also got the insulator feed that will insulate your bars. These looks better and you will have some peace of mind that nothing will spark or melt soon.😃 https://www.acdc.co.za/pages/all-products#eyJjYXRlZ29yeSI6W10sImJyYW5kIjpbXSwic3BlY2lhbCI6W10sImNsZWFyYW5jZSI6W10sInNlYXJjaFNLVSI6ImZhbHNlIiwic2VhcmNoRGlzY3JpcHRpb24iOiJmYWxzZSIsInNlYXJjaENhdFBBR0UiOiJmYWxzZSIsImNvbnRhaW5zIjoidHJ1ZSIsInN0YXJ0c1dpdGgiOiJmYWxzZSIsIm9yZGVyQnkiOiIiLCJzZWFyY2giOiJidXNiYXIiLCJwcmljZSI6W119 https://www.acdc.co.za/pages/all-products#eyJjYXRlZ29yeSI6W10sImJyYW5kIjpbXSwic3BlY2lhbCI6W10sImNsZWFyYW5jZSI6W10sInNlYXJjaFNLVSI6ImZhbHNlIiwic2VhcmNoRGlzY3JpcHRpb24iOiJmYWxzZSIsInNlYXJjaENhdFBBR0UiOiJmYWxzZSIsImNvbnRhaW5zIjoidHJ1ZSIsInN0YXJ0c1dpdGgiOiJmYWxzZSIsIm9yZGVyQnkiOiIiLCJzZWFyY2giOiJpbnN1bGF0b3IiLCJwcmljZSI6W119 Hope it helps

Victron BMV 702 Wiring Question
Morning Superdiy, So if i understand this correct, I need to run a cable from the midpoint +B2 to bank 1 and then from bank 1 to bank 2 or can I run a separate cable from bank 2 directly to the +B2 on the bmv

Lugs for Battery terminals
might work perfectly, just need to find a use for the 84 that's left over LOL

Lugs for Battery terminals
Thank you phil.g00, its what I am looking for but nothing local, and the uses are endless, I got these that's the closest and I can drill them to 8mm, so that the bolt would got through. https://www.wurth.co.za/electrical/terminals/male-ring-tongue-terminal-6-3x0-8mm/00558-173-0

Lugs for Battery terminals
I am looking for these lugs specifically, I want to use them on my battery terminals to avoid shutting down the whole system if and when something goes wrong with the battery monitor or bmv, its easier to disconnect a female lug from this., than to remove the bolts from the batteries themselves

DC FUSES
Thx Fuenkli, found the problem, my bmv did not take the setting from 200amp to 400amps when I initially change the settings
-
DC FUSES
OK so here goes nothing I hope not... I did my install as per drawing above, (without the mid-point) I had only 4 x 12v = 48v = 200amp battery bank and added a second bank to this with busbars the works, with bmv-702 battery monitor with mid-point and ha02 battery balancer as well, my batteries DOD was normally between 20-25% for the 4 battery string, now that I have added the second string my DOD is still between 20-25% I have set my bmv to 400 amps, inverter to charge at 40 amps the question is should my DOD not now be less as I have doubled my total battery amps, what am I missing here, (still a nooby here and still learning new things everyday)

Battery Terminal Cover
Afternoon Riaanh, Do you still have some of the silicon terminal caps, I am in the need of 8 pairs I got 8 batteries using 35mm2 cable

BMV-702 with 2 battery banks
Thank you Plonkster, I had a chat with some 4x4 guys and they said that the second battery is for dual systems in a bakkie or camping so i just need to add both battery banks to the busbar and feed them out

BMV-702 with 2 battery banks
Good Morning Learned Friends, I bought my bmv-702 and now the question is, on the back of the box I see the following schematic. I got 2 banks of 48V - 200Amp batteries, giving me 400Amps in parallel, now I see that the Battery System 1 connects to the battery side of the shunt and the battery system 2 connects to the load side of the shunt, is this correct and what would the reason be for this. Do I just go ahead and connect both battery banks to the battery side of the shunt, and can I use the Pos supply cable 2 by connecting that to +B2 for the 2nd bank of batteries?
