  1. I have tho Hoymiles MI-600 micro inverters with four panels on my roof. Installation year ago was easy and the small system has since been saving me on my bill every month. However, readings I took this morning indicate the system is no longer contributing. Switching almost everything off in my house midday still showed me I'm using some municipal power. I have not purchased or installed a DTU. Any suggestion on how to trouble shoot what exactly might be wrong? I read the inverters are 'fuse-less' and I'm in the dark. Any reliable affordable installers in Pretoria that have worked with Hoymiles micro inverters?
  2. @Greglsh did you ever get hold of MI-1200 Hoymiles? If so where? I have an MI-600 which works very effectively and I'm considering the 1200 for my next four panels.
  3. Delivery is indeed affordable. Just over R 500 for four panels to Pretoria.
  4. Thanks guys! So not the 400W then. I did see the Artsolar panels as well. Looks good. Price good as well. A friend told me parts are produced abroad and panels assembled locally. However, when I looked at ordering them only shipment method listed was 'Collect in Durban'. @Greglsh What did you pay for shipment if I may ask? I'm in Pretoria.
  5. Hi all, A few months ago I got myself a Hoymiles 600W Solar Grid-Tie Micro Inverter with two Canadian Solar 355W Poly KuMax Half-Cell 35mm Frame panels. Very happy with these. Now it seems the 355W panels are sold out everywhere. I started looking at the 400W model. Can anyone tell me if I'll blow up the inverter using those? Hoymiles states 0.76 kW max input. Or does anyone know of an affordable supplier that does have stock of the 355W panels? Thanks
  6. Trying to get hold of these as well, but they seem to be sold out everywhere. Any tips?
