  1. What is the purpose of the Grid Start setting under Battery Settings on the Sunsynk app.
  2. Beefy posted a topic in Inverters
    I want to know if this inverter will automatically switch over to grid when PV is not available in charging mode 1 or 3 and PV priority mode, or does it require manual switchover. https://www.solar-europe.co.za/product/srne-inverter-3kw-off-grid-sr-hf2430s60-100/
  3. I got it through eBucks. They had it on 40% discount a few weeks back. https://www.ebucks.com/web/shop/productSelected.do?prodId=2056532378&catId=854105660
  4. Thanks so much for the advice guys. So these panels will work with 100V MPPT
  5. I got this inverter and battery (see pictures and specs attached) for the in-laws. I want to have it connected to their DB (essentials, lights, tv's, router, fridge) and use 2x450w panels with it. What are the specs required for the mppt charger and panels (specific model recommendations would be appreciated) What else would be required?
  6. Can you share the cost for these systems.
  7. I would appreciate it if someone can recommend a plumber in Pretoria for installation of an electric geyser in series with an existing geyser as well as a Geyserwise unit. My plumber does not know how to install Geyserwise
  8. Can anyone advise how these panels compare to JA 450w panels https://oricolimports.co.za/products/450w-solar-panel
  9. Can anyone advise if this is any good. https://www.takealot.com/solar-inverter-10kw-96v-single-phase-hybrid/PLID90062610
  10. Can't help you with that, but would appreciate it if you can post more details on your experience with this product. I am considering it.
  11. What inverter would you recommend to use with 2x 3.5kWh pylons.
  12. 6kWh Lithium ion battery for R15900 - is it a scam. http://solarcityrsa.co.za/index.php/product/6kwh-lithium-ion-batteries-with-10yrs-warranty-last-chance-holiday-stock-clearance-sale-50-off/
  13. Thanks so much TTT and Bulldog for your replies. I obviously have a lot to learn and don't want to waste your time asking stupid questions - can you maybe point me to some online resource where I can get more detail on different grid tied options and their capabilities.
  14. Awesome info in this thread, thanks to the contributors. I would like to compare the grid tied setup suggested here: Victron Multiplus II 48/3000 + Victron BlueSolar 150/100MPPT + VenusGX to the Solis 3.0kW Mini 4G Single TrackerThe Victron setup is obviously much more expensive (more than 3 times) but after reading this thread and some others I am very keen to go for it, but what do you sacrifice if you go for the Solis.
