Hi as stated, looking high and low for a single Dyness B4850 battery to expand my current bank of x2 B4850's which were installed 6/2/2020. Might even consider selling my current bank.

I run the hybrid and during loadshedding during the day, it will always use available PV then if there's a shortfall it will pull from batterys. Most of the time PV can sufficiently handle loads without battery depending on available pv and load. In the event it needs to pull from battery it will recharge battery as soon as load is less.

Don't be tempted to update from the app. I did and bricked my inverter one saterday evening ( it kept rebooting and switching the entire house off until i manually switched it off and flipped change over back to eskom). Had to get hold of Andy @ASPERGO at 11 in the evening panicking to sort out the mess, updates are done by them as new firmware is rolled out. I too suffer from itchy finger syndrome your not alone 🙃

Depends on which model you use for the application, hybrid model is dead silent, it uses a heatsink rather than fan cooling like the other unit

Hi Johan I have the Hybrid luxpower and had all lights and plugs connected including pool. Excluded geyser and stove. Even though geyser and stove are off the lux it will still push pv power to them when is use ( not battery power) only pv . Only downside is you lose those items totally when hit by loadshedding.

Have a look at solar cameras similar the the one below. They come in wifi and 4g lte models with night vision and ptz functions

Any news or updates? Intrested to know who covers damage, or warranty if applicable

Would be interested to find out what the Dyness batteries look like inside and how they stack up against tge pylons. Seeing as the Dyness guys are guys who used to be ex pylon guys.

They have a walk in store as well forgot to mention.

Try a place called electromann.co.za, saw the 18650 and 21700 holders there a few months ago

Try Rand bolt and tool located in Florida Roodepoort. Maybe they can help

Why not try the sonoff between pump and mains?? If I understand correctly power is not directly from the pump but rather split before the pump??? So place sonnoff on wires leading from mains to pump. Does that even make sense??

A few small scale solutions maybe worth a look, but no entertainment eg tv and so on but atleast a few lights and a charger for phone. Built in battery protection and changeable batterys found in most hardware stores. Personal experience with the cheapy GD light kit with 3 bulbs main spot and charger= only used it as a spot in an area I didn't want to go thru the hassel of running cable and light fitting. On main spot beam the light would be on and super bright for about 2 and a half hours then fade off and die in 4 to 5 hours, wouldn't fully charge battery on cloudy days but this was a cheapy R350 experiment kit.

Still waiting on a quote from solarway for the 390 Jas. Mailed and called and months later still no quote. Took my money elsewhere (Solar advice) Collected my panels days later

Hi hi any 390s in stock?
