  1. I habe a older system going on 8 years now. Took allot to get it stable. Just teplaced agm with etower. Sunny boy on output of victron. Battery giving low voltage warnings Dc ripple and high discharge at times. Battery also gone into error mode. Never had a problem with etowers. 2 strings of 12 x 250 watt panels. Any one have any ideas. My gut feeling tells me.frequency shift is to.slow and causing problems. Any one have any ideas ? Will a 450/100 rs solve the issues ?
  2. I am busy adding a 2nd 5.5kw to a existing one. I am just getting as much info as possible as it is a remote of grid site. currently aux input is used to drive a irrigation system between 100 % and 75 % battery. Generator is on AC in. As i see it from research. 1. Connect batteries ( 4 x 3.5 pylontechs ) to a common busbar and equal cables. 2. Connect generator to both AC in also equal cables. 3. AC output from both invertors connected into same AC OUT breaker. 4. Firmware must be the same ( get both invertors on of battery power and on wifi and do updates if needed ) 5. Set one as master and one as slave. 6. bus number 0 , and 1. or 1 nd 2 ? 7. PV side is easy and not a problem. 8. I have paralleled quite a few Victron system but never a Sunsynk. 9. Keep the water pumps on the existing aux out. i will really appreciate any help or advice not to waste clients down time.
  3. I have a new system installed where the on invertor is noisy and it draws a constant 450 watts from the DC Bus. I have been very careful doing everything right according to victrons guidelines. It might be a faulty invertor but just want to make sure. Has anyone had this before.
  4. Has any one done this ? i am awaiting mopre info from them but maybe someone here can help me ?
  5. I have tried this and my invertor starts behaving strangely jumping between screens and buttons do not respond. If i have the invertor feed it on its input it works better but i intend to switch of my eskom soon and need it on the output. Has any one done this and got it working ? Any advice ?
  6. What is the largest Fuse that you can have use ? doing 2 systems now one with 2 15kva quattro'sa and one with 3 x 10 Kvas.
  7. Which to you guys use to make working on a roof easier, to turn in Roof dowels.
  8. Anyone managed to use anything else that solarman to monitor on local network ?
  9. Are they the same ? My pylontech cable is slightly to short, if not what is the pinout for the pylontech ? Its to work with a sunsynk invertor .
