@Chris Louw
Thank you so much. Changed the battery to old AGM's to test and everything works 100%.
Will look again at configuring LifeP04 (S/w was previously updated to KettleKomp V74.40E in 2022)
Any further updates available that you are aware of? 
What a win - now I can use it as a 48v battery charger from PV and AC

Well that confirms my experience to date
12 x 410w panels = 4920W
65% x 4910w = 3198W
At peak I get around 3.4KW but take into consideration that the roof angle is 30% and that my panels are split - 4 face NE for early morning generation and 8 faces NW for midday/afternoon generation. Currently I peak between 12:309 and 2:00pm

Have just done something similar with RCT-Axpert with same limitation as Kodak MKII
Real live experience
12 x Canadian 410 in strings of 2 (wanted to stay safe) - beware they are big
Producing 3.17Kw at 12:30pm and up to 4Kw later in the day (good clear day). As we are on prepaid, I installed a manual change-over switch to ensure that I can access utility power when we have a bad day. Obviously it is one or the other.
As to the geyser, we have installed a Geyser Wise and replaced the element with a 2Kw unit - you need to have a smaller element! 
Also looking at home automation, so thanks to @francois for the links
 
 

I finally managed to install all my hardware as detailed below, although the warning decals are still missing
Just a few questions
1. Since I am using the utility earth, I assume I do a soft bond between earth/neutral on inverter
2. As per above, do I connect the surge protector to an earth stake or do to the common earth
3. same as 2 for PV panels
Finally, as per another post I am still looking for a suitable BMS and management software - although watchpower gives basics, not that impressed
 

Still need to do some plastering


 


Need to be attached to ground

Firmware successfully installed (dsp_BF1_74.40e pf1.zip).
I like the new display format, far more informative.
