Dropped price to R15000 if anyone is interested

So had someone quote me about 25000 for a voltage and frequency relay to make this work. So currently I am looking to sell and get something else as the new inverter could cost just as much, perhaps find a 2nd hand one here rather. Maybe even a swap deal.

Doesnt standby SSEG Means it only works when the city power stops....which appears to be against the main reason I got solar, to avoid paying the ever increasing fees eskom charges.

https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Energy_Storage_System/en/configuration.html#UUID-44102771-a07a-55eb-b676-772c0d78e5fa there is a section about feed in excess solar power

it should be able to feed back into the grid, from the manual on the unit: 4.4 ESS – Energy Storage Systems: feeding energy back into the grid When the product is used in a configuration in which it will feed back energy into the grid it is required to enable grid code compliance by selecting the appropriate grid code country setting with the VEConfigure tool

Hi All Moved to cape town and my inverter is not on the approved list. there is a way to get it approved with additional hardware, but seeing if anyone is interested in buying it from me and then I just get a new inverter instead. It originally cost me 44000. I am willing to take 25000. Lets discuss. It is still sitting in the box I transported it down with and is kind of heavy, so don't want to take it out again by myself.

Seems you could be right, if that is primary fluid and not the water in the pipes of the manifold

So i Think there is liquid pouring into my manifold.........

I have been on a prepaid meter for years already so no major increase in electricity bill, as for the water bill, we did have a small leak just after the meter about 2 weeks ago, which turned into a big leak when the plumber put his spade through the pipe before the meter, which lead to three days of no water as joburg water had to repair it now, and they replaced the meter and it was reconnected, but otherwise I don't see any major jump in the costs of water. And considering the timeframe we talking here(5 months now), it doesn't appear to be that. It could just boil down to a below par installation combined with a issue in the manifold section

There is a foam around the pipes leading in and out of the manifold, but not around the pipes in the ceiling itself. I have asked @Jaco de Jongh to quote me on a SR81, perhaps he can check out the installation next time he is around and we can take it from there. Its only me and the wife as well

The installer suggested I don't get one due to, in his view, they have a 50 percent failure rate. My only reason for this query is that I have had to turn on my geyser everyday for 5 months now. I used to have to do it once in a while, then the cistern started overflowing, and that was the last time I had hot water from it. Since then the pump has been replaced. The installer says I need to add 12 more tubes to expect more results but as Jaco said, he gets performance from a 15 tube he installed around a month ago

The owner of uber solar called me after a medium review on hello Peter. It wasn't the the most pleasant conversation I had but they are going to look at the system, so either it's nothing and just to cold to heat up, or there is a bigger issue going on.

So I have noticed there is limescale buildup on the outside of the connection of the water coming into the manifold, is this a clue?

So they replaced the motor, but I still don't have the temps I am expecting. I have done as was suggested by running the valve and trying to Remove the air bubble, run it three times now and nothing. I do notice when I open it, that the water is cold. There is a small leak by the orange pipe which leads outside for the water to escape attached to the valve, and this is cold. Any ideas?

So in my glorious ignorance of everything plumbing, what would this part look like and where would I find it?
