  1. Hello, My brother bought the above inverter. PV panels and 1 battery installed. What I noticed with this inverter. Solar charge the battery full and then disconnect the PV and house get power from battery? I went through all the settings. Output is set to SOL priority etc. I was hoping PV will run the house and battery as backup?

  3. Thank you for all the replies. I just bought a combinder box ready to he installed.
  4. Good day, When I bough the house there was solar installed. I have upgraded the inverter to Sunsynk 8kw, there was 12 x 265watt panels connected in 2 strings, then connected to 1 MPPT. Yesterday I replaced the 12 panels with 12 x JA Solar panels 615, 2 strings. But my Combiner box can take 5 strings but I see only 1 out for the MPPT. Is there a way with the current combinder box to the Output be 2 x for MPPT’s?
  5. Thank you so much. I see it flows now correctly.
  6. Thank you, what confused me the arrow from the battery flowed in the wrong direction. Looked like flowing from the battery to the inverter.
  7. Good day, Why is the PV not charging my batteries? I was under impression the PV gets send to the house load and the remaining to the battery. I have attached a few screenshots. Regards

  9. Thank you, and will this be okey to connect only to the 1 MPPT? I have combiner box installed.
  10. Good day, I bought a house with exciting solar system. I replaced the inverter with Sunsynk 8kw inverter. The PV panels on the roof are 12x 300watt, and 3x 5.1kw batteries. I am in the process to replace the panels and, bought 10 x JA solar panels 610watt. What will be the best and easiest way to connect these panels? What I can see the 12 x 300 been connected in 2 strings. Can just connect these 10 panels in 2 strings as well? Reason for replacing the panels, takes the whole day to charge the batteries. Regards Morne
  11. Hi Moffat, I spoke to a sales person who is big in this industry. He said just buy Victron MPPT. Then all sorted. I used this unit with a Blunova battery for only backup during loadshedding. Was fortunate to buy a house with a complete solar system. Reason for the sale. Regards
  12. Hi TaliaB, Yes the same one. Regards Morne
  13. Good day, I have a Victron Easy Solar 2 3000kVA unit for sale. I used it for back up power during loadshedding. Only problem is, the MPPT is not working. Otherwise it works perfect. R6000. Based, Pretoria East. Mornes
  14. Hi Davy, I’m in Pretoria east, Olympus. Would like R10000 for the battery. Let me know if would like my number, can PM. Kind Regards Morne
  15. Hi Davy, I have 1 battery available for you. Regards Morne
