  1. Hi Welcome and no studity here,we are all learning. Correct you need to change it to 100A On the Us3000 charge current is 37A each so you can go upto 185A on 5 no more
  2. They work well but IMO it would be best to get Pi with ICC and pylontech communiction cable for ICC to get your systems batteries SOC,etc working perfectly www.iccsoftware.co.za
  3. If I'm not mistaken max it will only be able to take 12 panels on each inverter (3series and 4 parellel) so 24 panels in total
  4. No it does NOT feed in to the grid (classified as off grid but does however do bending in with the grid) 1st Solar 2nd Utility than 3rd battery Means charging source Solar only
  5. The only thing i can think of with my limited knowledge, is do you have a crossover switch installed or a bypass switch installed? With a crossover the bulb should not light up but with a bypass switch, if it set to bypass it will light up the bulb. My setup is a bit different from Main to Sub BD with Earth Leakage to CB is than wired to bypass switch and inverter, from inveter to CB out to essentials and bypass switch, Main DB split into 2 left non-essentials with own neutral and right essentials with it's own neutral Hope it all makes sense and helps
  6. You a correct from my little experience and the earth leakage should also trip if it is mixed
  7. https://solaradvice.co.za/product/keto-battery-disconnector-with-125a-fuses/ haven't bought from them

    Already have one there,where would the other one go? 100% correct Will it not help in controlling the infini ? Maybe @Youda can advise on this part ? Thank you for all the help to one and all much appreciated as always
  9. SYC replied to SYC's topic in Inverters
    Will have to wait until lock down is over to finalize. Just a thought if I do get another energy meter, how/where would I connect it? (btn the infini and multi? , would i use the same rs485 to usb cable?) and run a pi with ICC connected to both Pylontech and infini would it make a difference? (so that the infini could see SOC) (Pi connects to pylontech on console port and venus on CAN port) I have tested it, it works simultaneously Its just that I can be productive during lock down and get this done Lastly on a Multiplus II output2 what's the max load that it can take? (Coz i connected non-essentials and over 4000w goes into overload)
  10. Have an Infini Solar Super 4k in perfect working condition would keep but need to get a Victron MPPT PM me any offers
  11. SYC replied to SYC's topic in Inverters
    I now have a victron system running ess see signature want to add infini 4000w with 3000w pv as grid tied Question Is it possible? DC or AC coupled ? Thank you in advance

  13. SYC replied to Elbow's topic in Batteries
    Yes they perfectly correct and recommended by victron for Pylontech setup. No change No change. As installer set.Check this https://www.victronenergy.com/live/battery_compatibility:pylontech_phantom?_ga=2.146844279.1545381250.1584818150-1826497651.1580643129 read disqus all the way down
  14. Same machine from same factory only different as far I as know
  15. Not true see manual below of kodak king as an example https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1776/7837/files/OG_Plus_Installation_Manual.pdf?1075 @pierre.Please check facts before posting or advising
  16. Than you might want to look at NRS approved inverter http://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Forms, notices, tariffs and lists/Approved Photovoltaic (PV) Inverter List.pdf
  17. Blending of Solar,Batteries and Grid Where are you based ?
  18. Axpert King IMO with 2 x 3.5 Pylontechs to start with I've used them all and King works the best IMO
  19. SYC replied to Mark2's topic in Classifieds
    @Camel is the guy you looking for, hopefully he can help (brand new though BMV712)
  20. Hi, Has anyone attempted or successfully connected ICC APM to Venus mqtt ? If so step by step on how to will be highly appreciated
  21. Hi Paul, Welcome IMO As stated Pylontech BMS is enough no need for BMV
  22. If I may Please where is the best priced place to get USB to rs485 all places R500+ delivered to GP south
  23. I have a lockable pylontech battery 4 bay floor standing cabinet (can house 4 x US2000) that will be available from Sunday onward (upgrading to 42u cabinet) Asking R3000 Situated in the south of JHB
  24. Mustek 011 237 1000 Midrand is company that repairs mecer product as far as know. Hope you come right
