  1. Thanks Brett will check those out Wolfandy would that then be seen as a permanent bond and not in accordance to code? I’m so confused with all the reading around this already
  2. Morning all can anyone tell me were I can find a suitable relay, Voltex as well as AC/DC in my part of Pretoria don’t have stock and can’t seem to find any ARO list of these any help would be appreciated
  3. Morning all apologies if this has been answered before tried searching cant find the answer I have an ATS which switches eskom and genie as needed feeding into inverter with a battery bank, no panels as yet. Just bought a Sunsynk to replace the existing cheaper inverter, want to connect the ATS out to the grid connector on the Sunsynk the question I have 1. would you still add the earth neutral bonding relay 2. would point one come in to play as the inverter would still see it as grid or not?
  4. Looking for new on the above items and places that do have stock only looking at a 5Kw battery bank for now
  5. Luckily only order was done I have not paid yet so seems I saved some school money on this one
  6. Seems this site wholesale-solar.co.za is suspect found it in the scammer section ai damn
  7. Hi all just wondering if anyone has made use of them before ligid etc, looking to get a 7,2Kwh battery and sunsynk from them priced not bad at all I think
  8. Hi all I am replacing my current Mecer inverter but would like to get an inverter that would accept the Bundupower 6500 generator as well could anyone please recommend in me in the right direction? I’m also will updating the batteries to li-ion battery banks any help would be greatly appreciated as reading up on the genie there is Harmonics at play
  9. All really need help with a reputable electrician please to get my generator connected to an ATS as soon as possible, any recommendations would be appreciated

  12. Morning all so I decided to get a diesel genie and ATS box to tie into my existing setup, I need some help with reputable electricians that can tie this to my existing setup (split DB’s that handles certain loads of the house, inverter and batteries) and also CoC the entire setup for me, any recommendations will be highly appreciated. must say a proper ATS or what I think is one is not cheap lol
  13. Hi all i don’t know why but inverter shuts down literally at just over 40 min (every time for last couple of load shedding while load is around 225Watts in the period constantly, so not that much load I think, I have 2 12v 100ah AGM batteries linked to system, strange thing is when the system shuts down the victron bmv702 still shows battery capacity at 97% please help not sure why this is happening

    All I’m struggling to get 24v lithium batteries to replace the crap AGM’s I have currently, which make of non lithium would be best to look at for now I’m only running lights, tv, dstv, around 400W when needed. I will go with 2x 12V 200aH probably for now and remove the 4 100Ah I have currently
