Hi Guys, My system has been upgraded about 2 weeks ago and I now have the following equipment: 8kva Sunsynk Inverter, 2 x Hubble AM5 batteries and 6 x 330w panels connected to one MPPT. I plan to add another string of 6 x 550w panels on the other string in a week or two. I made some settings changes after input from this group. I am running off solar most of the day and off battery at night and early parts of the morning. The system switches to grid when SOC reaches 40% at around 5:00am and then combination of solar and grid from about 7am until solar produces enough power to power the load and charge the battery. The battery takes the entire day to charge as the panels does not provide enough power to charge the batteries quicker. Everything is working fine, however I wanted to check with the experts if my inverter settings are all correct and the system is working optimally. Please see attached photos for reference. Your inputs and comment will be appreciated. Regards

Thanks for the response

Good day, I am seeking advice on powering up my solar geyser pump and control panel during a power outage. I have a backup system with 5kva inverter, 3,5kw lithium battery and 6 x 300w panels. My solar geyser is connected to eskom and currently runs off a control panel and 220v pump. When there is a power outage for an extended period (more than a day) I don’t have hot water as the pump can’t circulate. One of the solutions would be to install a geyser wise control panel, 12v pump with battery and panel. I want to know is it possible to install a toggle switch in the DB for the geyser breaker, where I could switch between eskom power to battery backup power. If this can be done, this will allow the pump and management system to be operational during an extended power outage. It is not my intention to heat the geyser via the battery backup, but merely to run the control panel and pump to allow the hot water collected to circulate to the geyser. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
