  1. What invertor you using? What is your shutdown set at? Are the batteries still balancing?
  2. Hi all, I have a 2400va geewiz invertor with 4x 100ah LA batteries(Royal) Batteries are about 14months old. Used to power a marine tank return pump only(100w), moved to solar plus batteries a few months back no need for this. Batteries never drained below 60% SOC. Not willing to spilt Not willing to ship. Jhb, west rand. R8000 onco
  3. The issue I see off the bat 1. I would do load first for solar 2. Activate time of use, and plan there. Pm me I will send you my settings.
  4. Is this solar assistant?
  5. i have moment, doesnt seem to have the issues, one is a Jan 2022 and the other feb 2022 batch? SOH 100% at the a 8kw Deye, and 2 x AW2.
  6. From what I hear, the oems are great. Do you have a RIOT?how do you know the cycles?
  7. I think the issue is the firmware on the bms when connecting to sunsynk. I have 2x am2 on a 8kw Deye... all good.
  8. Best solar production day. 2x hubble am2 batteries fully charged by 12, 2x 3kw geysers heated in the day... 23.3kw generated.
  9. Just slightly off topic... but still hubble. What is the max SOC will drain the batteries daily. Currently I am on 20%... AM2 x 2
  10. Thank you Jason and Powerforum store. I have my one hubble installed, most likely the 2nd one tomorrow or Tuesday. Current one seems good. I will see when the 2nd one is installed. My first one I purchased in Feb 2022, not sure if it's the ones with the issue.
  11. Real time monitoring?
  12. And we are a go, on the day with zero sun
  13. Hi all, I'm new to this home assistant, and forgive me if I cannot just "read" what the error is. I'm getting this error while loading... wth.
  14. https://imgur.com/a/IafHkit Guess what arrived this afternoon
  15. Hi all, I have gone with solar advise, deye 8kw hybrid with 2x hubble 5.5kw batteries and 12 455w panels. Installation will be happening tomorrow morning at 9h30. My current average daily consumption is 36kwh. This is with 2x geysers and a huge marine tank. I have changed the hob to gas, and the oven is still electric however AAA+++ rating. Oven and 1 geyser will go onto non essential, main geyser on essential. Install 2x geyser blankets on Thursday, and the astute smart din switches. Will try(my best) to use home assistant with red node to automate my geyser timing. Will take pics.
  16. Really great news. I have 2x hubble that I will be installing tomorrow.

    Still available?
  18. Hi, Is this still available
  19. So if the is grid and no solar can 8 run non essentials?
  20. Thanks. Ok confirming, non essential load can be supplied by battery if needed( maybe load shedding or power outages) I want to use bat at night till about 35% leaving about 15% for load shedding. My standing consumption is around 600-700w (mainly due the the marine tank) If I have over 40% bat at 5am 3kw in 30mins is about 1500kwh which should not be too bad. I bought those astute din switches for the geyser.
  21. Good day, As the title suggests.. I have my installation of a 8kw deye inverter, 12x 455w plus 2x hubble 5.5 next week Wednesday. So we need to decide on essentials and non essential. We have 2 geysers, one for upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs only used for outbuilding and kitchen( this can be non -ess) the upstairs is bathing... I have got 2x smart timers so scheduling will be easy. I want downstairs to only work when PV is available and in excess. Maybe a 10am kick in. Upstairs I would like 8am kick 9am off, then 15h30 kick to 16h30 off. Question: can " non- essential" still use battery if needed? Eg: upstairs geyser on at 5am to 5h30 on battery.
  22. 1. Does CoJ buy solar from domestic generation? 2. If so, what is required and how much do they buy back for?
  23. Looks like we at a further stage of this build... Dye 8kw 2x hubble 5.5 12x 455 panels. Waiting for installer to come through for pricing.
  24. Sorry 4kw per hour. Finances only allows like 8s 455s.. with plans to increase later. Yes planning for all heavy appliances between sun filled hours. Geyser/dishwasher/etc. Battery to run essentials only... Will still be grid tied.. for now. For me the installation is baffling me. 15k -45k is crazy difference..
