  2. I have a tumble drier condenser model.
  3. Mistral replied to Mistral's topic in Solar Power
    Thanks!
  4. They look at the max power rating.
  5. Someone in Cape Town has just had a quote for increasing his supply to 80A - R7 200 if I recall.

    I have my eye on some Canadians 335W but started thinking maybe one should go bigger say 400W. Fewer panels lower install costs? Maybe there are advantages and drawbacks to higher power? Then there is the issue of two strings instead of one?
  7. TheBulldog - Very good info. I have filed for future use.
  8. Maybe I must look at the sealed! What sort of ventilation is required? Can I place in a cupboard?
  9. I have friends with Trojans and they rave about them compared to the rest!
  10. Thanks! Unfortunately the inverter is being installed in my kitchen and I understand the Trojans have to be washed down?
  11. If I have to use lead acid - budget wise - what are the best brands? Will try to limit to 50% DOD. Replace every two years?

    Pics of Carport roof will be posted when the rain stops.
  13. If outside of Cape Town preferably on line store.
  14. Thanks! Best place to buy Hager in Cape Town or elsewhere?
  15. Impressive! Thanks for posting!
  16. Thanks - Confusing for Newbies!
  17. Grid is the old model.
  18. Thank You!😀 But I am confused still says Multi Grid Not Multi Plus II?
  19. Any news on when this inverter may be included in Cape Town's approved inverter list? It is still only carrying the Grid models! Anyone chatted to Victron?
  20. Could the experts please give us the sort of switches/breakers we need to install according to this thread. Some installers I have spoken to do not appear to know and the forum is far ahead of them on requirements! Could you provide specific web links to these switches etc. so we know exactly what to buy.
  21. Please PM me installer details as well please.
