  1. I need some help. I've had a couple of issues getting the Renusol mounts for our roof. First had the wrong feet for a standing seam Clickloc roof and now I have an assortment of parts but no design diagram from the supplier (which used the Renusol website). The supplier has contacted the wholesaler who supplie the parts and designed it. But they just don't respond. The problem is the Renusol instructions that I was sent do not actually match the parts I have. What I want to ask is: "Do these pictures look right?" To me it looks wrong that the two R410083 clamps overlap and protrude over the edge of the standing seam clamps I was supplied. Is this correct and should I move forward with construction. Or do i need to source alternatives? And if so what do I use? What do I do?
  2. I'm also interested in battery opinions as I am no expert. What would you suggest?
  3. That's good to hear that it can take that load. I feel more confident now. We are lucky enough to be up on a hill in Johannesburg with a north facing roof. I figured start at the minimum and add some more panels if we feel we need them.
  4. Wouldn't that be way more power than I need? We use a max of 10kwh a day and during the day when working about 350watts an hour max. And I'd probably install the panels myself and have my electrician do the sparky bits. But I'm happy to be pursuaded otherwise.
  5. Brilliant, thanks. You've helped me eliminate several companies too! Making my job much easier. cheers
  6. I've been measuring our power usage over the past few months and, despite using induction cooking, we have got our average daily power usage down to about 8-10kwh a day. About 5-6 kwh overnight. The exception is maybe once a week when our usage will peak at 13kwh a day due to a lot of cooking - and having just renovated have no plans for gas. I want to keep the cooker connected to the inverter so we can cook and most importantly making morning coffee when the power is out. Because of this we will peak above 5.5kw up to 6.5kw for 10 minutes or so several times a week. We also have a solar geyser with a 2kw element that we switch on when it is cloudy or raining which may bring our usage up to 13-15kwh a day. I'm interested in some input or critique on what I am planning, that we expand in the future if needed. - JA Solar 6x540 watt panels - 5.5kw Sunsynk inverter. This is where I have a real questions. I've had many quotes and half a dozen companies tell me that as long as the power from the grid is on, the 5.5kwh inverter will be able to supply up to 7kw of power for a sustained amount of time - in my case maybe 10-20mins. The other half of companies say that the 5,5kw can't and I require an 8kw inverter. Can anybody give me a definitive answer on this? - Hubble 5.5kw Lithium or 2 x Pylontech 3.5kwh lithium. Can anyone help?
