Well done Sir, Well done.

BYD beats BMW and Volvo in record month for electric car...BYD accounted for 81% of the EVs sold in South Africa in March 2026, which was the first month it reported sales figures to Naamsa.

The BYD Blade: A Lithium Love Story A few years ago, I began the journey of installing lithium batteries in my home. I’ll admit—my OCD had me constantly imagining worst-case scenarios, like a battery fault leading to a house fire. To put my mind at ease, I went down the rabbit hole searching for what I believed to be the safest lithium battery available in South Africa. That’s when I came across a video of a metal nail being driven straight through a BYD cell. No fire. No explosion. Just some smoke. That was enough for me—my concerns were settled, and I knew I wanted the BYD Blade. I’m not here to promote any particular manufacturer—I can genuinely promise that. But during my search, I discovered the Hubble BYD Blade 7kWh battery, and I was immediately impressed. Long story short, I bought two. They’ve been outstanding—reliable, efficient, and completely trouble-free. I currently run them on a Sunsynk 5kW system without any issues. It was disappointing to learn that Hubble has discontinued the BYD Blade range, mainly because the blade cells are harder to source compared to other, more readily available options on the market. That said, I reached out directly to Hubble’s senior team to ask about ongoing support for existing units. They reassured me that parts and support will remain available, so there’s no need for concern on that front. Interestingly, Hubble still has a limited number of these 7kWh units in stock. With that reassurance in place, I’ll definitely be adding another one when budget allows. If you’re interested in picking up one of the remaining Hubble BYD units, they’re currently available for R18,400 (incl. VAT) from Powerforum. https://www.hubbleenergy.com/blade I Hope this helps someone considering their options! Sincerely Jason

Hello Sir. I am very sure the store can arrange that for you. Jay

I very much enjoy the sunsynk software. 5kW still going strong! J

Hi there. Thanks so much for the great post?. Wonderful program, does it support different panel orientation for different facing roofs, on the same calculation? Sincerely Jay

Go for it!
