  1. Hi Guys I have a brand new BSL Neuro 16kwh Battery (Brand New) @ R31000, retail on these are now over R38000. This is not the pro version Collection in Midrand, still in the crate, collection is welcome Shipping at buyers expense and risk. Buyer to arrange. PM me for more details
  2. Need to clear R2000 not negotiable
  3. True the earlier 5kw units where passive cooled, we have done quite a few and they are quite solid. The 8kw though is a noisy beast the silence hack is a very good effort at silencing this inverter. For the 8kw and anything with active cooling fans I would not suggest putting them inside your home close to the living area, kitchen etc... Anything beats not having to pay eskom so install where you must!
  4. Solarman is no more, the new deye app (Deye Cloud) has bridged the software Gap. Even history is easier to view now (same like the sunsynk custom tab) There has been a shift customers who can save 3 to 8k on a Deye don't blink twice when given pricing on Sunsynk as well.
  5. Hi Guys Selling my 8kw Sunsynk Inverter for R15 000 Its about 3 and a half years old, perfect working condition. Comes with the Sunsynk Dongle. (No CT Coil) and no packaging. Collection in Midrand only, or buyer to arrange collection after payment clears If required we can install this unit as well. PM me to discuss Reason for sale: Upgrading to a Solis 16kw Unit Remainder of warranty
  6. bump R2800
  7. Good option as well, we did 4 this month already they look very promising
  8. Hi Guys Upgrading my own home batteries to wall mounts and have a LEE 3L BSL battery cabinet for sale these were designed for the 7kwh batteries from BSL but works with the 5.12kwh and 6.4kwh batteries too. Price new is over R6000, asking R3000 See pic attached, good condition... no box Location Midrand, collection only.
  9. 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
  10. Oh my word lol
  11. I can send a sparky if you don't come right
  12. 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
  13. Interesting so is Felicity batteries basically 5 star rebranded ?
  14. 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.
  15. Hi All What is the latest firmware for the 12kw - 3ph ?
  16. Good one, can highly recommend it.
  17. 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.
  18. Any legit sparky with a good knowledge of how a contactor works can do it.
  19. 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 😅
