  2. Sent you a message sir, I have a customer with 2 x 6.4kwh he wants to upgrade so he needs to sell his batteries with 500 cycles on them
  3. Oh my word lol
  4. I can send a sparky if you don't come right

  6. Hi Guys Looking for a decent pool heatpump, so wanted to know from you guys what are you using and how good are they in terms of heating water and efficiency (power rating). We will be doing pool renovations soon, so I want to add a heat pump as well. I do not have anymore roof space for solar panel/tube setup. Thanks
  7. Interesting so is Felicity batteries basically 5 star rebranded ?
  8. its very difficult to install according to certain standards as some dwellings do pose their own challenges, one would not want want a fire proof enclosure in their lounge. If the inverter comes into a kitchen or living room, all safety standards need to be followed. Breakers, separation of DC and AC cable etc, now a fireproof enclosure is a different story some people just don't have the space, even if they had the space would you put a hideous fireproof enclosure ? The solar PV power system code of practice is currently in draft format.. Not legislated as yet.
  9. Hi All What is the latest firmware for the 12kw - 3ph ?

  12. Good one, can highly recommend it.

  14. 100 percent correct sir the lower the voltage the more current the devices will pull. I would suggest in this case one could use a AVS30 before the supply to luxpower on the grid side. We have used a few AVS30s for these cases and it works well. We have had instances where customers grid supply is constantly low, we had to install CVTs to protect the inverter as AVS30 was constantly holding back from supply grid back to inverter.
  15. Any legit sparky with a good knowledge of how a contactor works can do it.
  16. Something has changed with the luxpower units in production. Who knows why they went back to red switches could be a shortage or blue switches ? Last winter they never peaked over 426v, in addition I have constant load on the panels and voltage drops when the inverter is pulling current. I am an installer so don't do what I do. I never go beyond 16 panels for customer installations on a 8kw sunsynk unit (8 per string). However you can bring two strings of the same voltage down to 1 MPPT (in parellel)..... The 8kw can pull down 22amps per MPPT. Current doesn't matter coz the inverter will clip the current, voltage is what matters and its usually what causes MPPTs to blow

  20. 8kw Sunsynk and 2 x 5.32kw SS batteries Customer will add solar panels later this year. Don't ask about the pipe from the wall no idea why the builder put it there, it runs back into the DB 😅

  23. To add when we did my home install our Junior sparky decided to bring earth from the ROD that goes to the frame to the DC SPDs and the inverter was throwing faults during lightning after I investigated I had found what he had done and changed it. Slap on a wrist for him. We had to go out and change 2 installs that he was involved in. Lucky he was new in the team needless to say he had to sit through 4 hours of training with the master electrician and was supervised from start to finish for the next 5 installs. 😂
