  1. Hi, .No, Not really a big load, around 2000W max
  2. Hi Guys, I experienced something strange yesterday. My batteries ( Hubble AM2's , Inverter :Sunsynk) were at 98% SOC. I switched all batteries off then opened the breaker / KETO to do an inspection. I then closed the breaker and powered on all the batteries. When i looked at my SOC it went down to 82% within a few minutes. Was my sequence to switch the batteries off and on again flawed in some way ? Thanks
  3. Hi, Looking for a Sunsynk 8kw Inverter. Please pm if you can assist.
  4. Thanks Guys, I did not take into account / completely forgot about the weakened R=$ rate !!!!. Wish it was 2012/13 rates of R6.8 to R7.3 to the USD
  5. Last year March i bought a Sunsynk 8kw Inverter for just under R35k incl Vat , I see the price a year later has increased by around 20%. Hubble 5.5kWh last year just under R25k , a year later a 30.5% increase. Dammn , are all brands having such increases ?
  6. On a day like today in Pretoria ( Very cloudy ), I'm getting around 850W to 1300W instantaneous production from 26 x 460W panels , on a non cloudy day my panels produce up to 9450 W. That's around 10 x less on a very cloudy day. With light clouds production goes to about 4500w
  7. I just spoke to Blake at Hubble said they busy doing a software upgrade , i assume to the online platform. He mentioned this is the reason why some can see the cycles and other cannot. Going by my experiences that i have had with them over the past 3 weeks, i think this is BS %#$. *** Guys make sure that your Hubbles have the latest software version loaded, 1 of my 4 batteries seems to have an older version which is causing some issues w.r.t data and SOC. Upgrade needs to be done via a USM to RJ11 cable ( Your laptop to the battery) even though you might have the RIOT installed. Upgrade cannot be done via the RIOT. Silly !!!!

  9. To otimise my system i have 4 x 5.5 Kwh batteries installed . The installed capacity is sufficient for now in winter to carry us from 16h30 to around 06h00 the next morning. 1 more battery would be ideal , but cost wise - is another R27K investment worth it ? as i am only using between 0 to 5kwh Grid a day that's roughly a max of R15 a day. R450 a month , down from R3500 to R5500 a month. Since the system is producing so much extra power in the day, I now encourage my domestic worker to use our tumble drier if needed whilst the PV generation is good and the pool pump times have been extended too.
  10. ZSDE , Where do you get the above data from and also where are you reading the cycle days from ? I have a Sunsynk 8kW and Hubble Setup
  11. Hi, I did chat to the guys at Hubble, they said it's not possible to upgrade via the Cloudlink. They send an email from which you will have 15 minutes to do the upgrade , not sure why the 15 min limit I was referred to these options for the comms cable: https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/549877191/1_8M_USB_TO_RJ45_Console_Serial_Console_Cable_Express_Network_Routers_Cable.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwwo-WBhAMEiwAV4dybfr7LKs1h05bNGRZQkPDIFGSx9x4ldo8BK8yeWrRYPv7SfVDG3OCkRoC4dIQAvD_BwE https://www.makro.co.za/electronics-computers/computers-tablets/storage-hard-drives/optical-storage/rj45-usb-adapter-lan-card-ethernet-adaptor-network-10-100-mbps-usblan-/p/40d12d3b-2200-4b87-aa1c-29659641cc78
  12. Hi Guys, Just want to show off my system. I based in the Irene area, Centurion. The system installation was completed the past Saturday by Leshen . Last month he installed the Sunsyk and the batteries , the past Saturday the panels ( 26 x 460w JA's) were installed. Very professional service and top notch installation. He is also available to assist telephonically / Whattsapp too . Highly recommended .
  13. Hi Guys, One of my Hubble 5.5 kWh batteries ,according to Hubble, needs a software update but i need a USB to RS232 cable like the one below. Where can i find such a cable.
  14. Hi. Is the CAN Bus cable different to a normal Ethernet cable ? If it is what other cable can i use as my batteries are a bit far away from my Sunsynk to use the Red cable as provided.
  15. I've seen panels on some of the buildings at Route 21 Business Park in Irene , Centurion mounted on all 4 sides of their roofs ( buildings with 4 sided roofs E,W,N,S). Just to add that these buildings have no trees or other buildings blocking the roofs and are on a hillside with tons of sunshine the whole day.
  16. Hi Guys, What are the common latent issues and maintenance issues if any that you guys have experienced after doing a Solar installation or is it as simple as Buy, Install and Sitback for 10 to 15 years
  17. Hi, How do you check when a site was registered , my son was recently scammed with a tuition site. thanks
  18. "The Victron can use the Fronius output on it's own output and reverse the current’s direction to be able to charge batteries while powering the loads. Quattro will blend power in both directions, or bi-directionally." Wow !!!
