  1. Hi! Thank for the info! If i can ask, what has your experience been with the Sunsynk inverter? Thanks
  2. My first choice is the Sunsynk 5kW hybrid inverter 48v IP65. The product code on Ellies site is FBIHSK5K48. 1FBIHSK5K48.pdf
  3. Hello Everyone, Please help me to decide on the correct PV array to inverter ratio. I will be installing a 5kW inverter with hopefully 17.5kWh battery system, now the question is how many solar panes should I install to get the best output from my inverter. I have heard that running close to the invert's max output will result in the most efficient energy output but that you also need to account for losses of about 30% of the watts produced by the panels due to environmental and other factors. I have also heard that it is not recommended to go with a ratio above 1.55 and that some warranties may be invalidated due to an incorrect ratio. Assuming that I will be using 410w panels (probably from Canadian Solar), should I go with enough panels to get a 1.48 ratio? That is 18 panels, 8 would be North facing and 10 would be East facing with a roof pitch at 30 degrees. TIA!
