  1. Hi All, any feedback regarding this SA made battery? Regards
  2. Jaco, Do you have a diagram how to connect such a relay perhaps?
  3. Thanks Jaco. will bond as recommended.
  4. Hi all the solar fundi's, I discovered that the earth leakage connected to the feed from my Mecer SOL-I-AX-5M Inverter is not working correctly. Again the question arises: should the earth be kept separate from the neutral or not? If anybody can help with advice or a simple diagram, it will be highly appreciated.
  5. How will the US3000 as master and the 2x US2000’s get charged in sync? The US3000 needs more amps to get charged simultaneously with the US2000’s? Will the system split the feed in proportion to the capacities or will it take longer to charge the US3000?
  6. Thanks Fazil, will do.
  7. Thanks Dex, I assume that it will be relatively easy to set the inverter up in accordance with the combined amp ratings.
  8. Hi everybody, I am planning to connect an Axpert King 5Kw to a bank of PylonTech batteries. The existing bank consists of 2x US2000 plus units. Question is if it will be possible to add a PylonTech US3000B battery to the bank in parallel and also will it be difficult to get the correct settings for the combination? Any comments or ideas please
  9. Yes, this will work but at double the cost, the axpert plus duo model is something like R2000,00 more than the unit with one MPPT charger. I have limited space..
  10. Thanks Coulomb, So the answer lies with the Axpert King then. What will be nice is to see a King Duo for the increased PV capacity
  11. Thanks for your feedback Fazil, I assume that the Growatt can blend sources? Have you experience with it and what is the support like?
  12. Hi everyone, I want to upgrade to either an Axpert King or Axpert Plus Duo Inverter. Currently I have 12 panels of 260w capacity on the roof but would like to increase the PV capacity to 4000w or even more. The question is whether the abovementioned inverters can be set up to blend PV with Grid to drive loads if the load is more than what the PV panels can deliver. The current 5KVA Mecer Inverter can not blend and cant handle more than 3000w on the roof. Im using two Pylontech US2000 batteries at the moment but want to double the storage capacity. I lean more towards the Duo model since the PV capacity can be increased using the twin MPP chargers, but I am not sure about its capability to blend grid with solar. Any suggestions/proposals/ comments will be highly appreciated.
  13. I need some help regarding matching an inverter with Li batteries. I intend to purchase the Axpert King 5Kw inverter and want to use it on Pylontech batteries. Is this possible and do I need to change the settings to make it work?
  14. Thanks for confirming what I expected Coulomb! It will make life a little easier.
