    Solis backup support is awsome, you won't go wrong with it. I am running the s6 8kw pro with 18 solar panels.

    The power indicator has terminals for power for the inverter and the other is for eskom power, has a setting that if mains switches off then it will, signal the smart controller to switch off. You need both units to do this.

    Is the pv cables from the solar panels in plastic conduit? If so you need a qualified solar installer to redo the system

    does this look right?

    Finally took the plunge and did my installation,  did it over a few days , made a few mistakes . Today was the day that I got to power it all up only to find  the axpert  had a failure,  no ac output. Rushed off to the supplier and got it swopped out and 30 min later the system finally came alive. Thank you to Coulomb  for the info and a big thank you to Suly for assisting  with advice and programming.

    Hi
    1: you get what you pay for
    2: buying yourself you can choose what you want and where to buy from. The 2 units you mention do work but are not pure sine wave inverters. I have the 2000va unit running for about 3 or 4 yrs now with the same batteries , think i was just lucky with this
    3: these systems cant really be upgraded

    You have breakers and fuses on your battery cables? As far as I know you only need fuses there, fuses will blow quicker than the cb
