  1. I got the data sheets of them. Spoke to there tech guy up in JHB last Nov to get more info on them. They don't look bad and they been made for Probe brand. They the same like the other brands and best of it you will get a guarantee with and know they will not disappear.

  3. Garrie, Funny thing, i lost a small power supply to on my DVR because of the switching. Every time i switch the DVR restarts. Then the other day the power supply said hello!!! I change it over to new power supply and now when i'm switching the DVR don't restart so seems to me the supply keeps its charge/power a bit longer before dropping.

  8. I'm going to add in to this mix the MLT Powerstar. It's Bi-direction Hybrid Inverter, so it can export to the grid to, take from the grid if there is a short and mix. It's got it's own build in Islanding system and you can adjust the export settings to.
  9. Oooooo yes!!! Al the way for the DIY guys. Easy to check inside and easy to work, on the moving, you will need a extra 2 hands. Hahahahaha. The bigger ones got wheels to move them around. What nice of this units is, if you want to upgrade to more Kw power, you just add the extra transformer unit at the bottem of this one and plug in the cables and connect the bars on the side. You can stack 3 of this transformer units on top, then it will make 24kw of power.

  12. @Richard Mackay that still small. If you get the opportunity to check inside n MLT Powerstar inverter, then you will see a really big one. I wish you guys can see it. Pictures can't do it justes. The complete unit weight is 82kg where I think 70 kg is just transformer in side.

  14. @Party Plant Your problem is that 105Ah batteries isn't really made for this sort of work and for that inverters. They will now last long.

Drop @Stanley a msg. His a pro with this stuff and owns one.
