  1. Hi, Please see pictures below of mine i want to sell. I have 1 left. Make me an offer.
  2. Morning everyone, I emptied the cabinets and took a better picture of the units . Open to offers. Regards,
  3. Thank you. Much appreciated
  4. Good evening everyone, So I replaced my faulty Axpert inverter with a Goodwe ES5048 today. As per your advise I just did a plug and play, with the Axpert connections. I just have 1 question. With my Axpert installation, we split the neutral bar in the Main DB between the back-up loads and the On Grid loads. Do I keep that the same with the Goodwe or can I connect them again so that I only have 1 neutral in the house for both Back-up and Grid loads? Thank you,
  5. Morning Greg, I am no expert with the Axpert Inverters, but i had a look at the website link you posted. Just based on the poor spelling and website, it does look as if they will be inclined to sell cloned devices. Just my 2c.
  6. Hi everyone. Is there no market for these cabinets or is the price too high? Regards,
  7. Good morning everyone, I have the below 2 cabinets for sale. 100% complete, including built-in holders for CB's and extra plugs. I have upgraded to a wall mounted Lithium, so won't be needing them anymore. They can hold 12 std batteries per unit on 3 shelves or 3 lithiums. The marks on the one side is from a notice that was taped on and can be cleaned. I was looking at R2000 each or R3.5k for both? Please let me know if that is reasonable and if not i am open to offers. Regards,
  8. @Jaco de Jongh - Thank you for the speedy reply. I just needed confirmation before doing a simple switch over. I really appreciate the assistance. Regards,
  9. Good evening everyone, Firstly a quick update on the Axpert 3kVA inverter that kept tripping the AC feed CB. I have decided to retire that inverter for now(will repair it once the new one is installed) and do what i have been wanting to do for quite a while and get an upgrade. I have decided to go for the Goodwe ES5048 and add 6 x Canadian 410W panels to my current setup of 6 x JA Solar 365W panels, with a single 100Ah Lithium battery(for now). Each string of panels will run on a separate MPPT. My questions are the following: Would I be able to just do a plug and play switch with my current wiring setup and connect the AC Out side of the Axpert to the Back-up side of the Goodwe and the AC In side to the On-Grid side? My inverter setup and Sub-DB is in the garage and main DB in the house. Can I connect the EZ meter on the feed line from the house to the Inverter (On-Grid connectors) in the garage where that feeds from the Eskom line on the main DB, or does it have to be on the main line from Eskom before the EL and Main CB in the house? I do have my main DB split on 2 lines where Eskom feeds the Stove, Geyser, Granny Flat and Garage and the other for my plugs and lights that run on the feed from the Inverter(UPS), with a 3 way switchover. The setup instructions do cater for the EZ meter data cable to be up to 100m, so if it has to be installed in the house, it wouldn't be an issue just a bit of extra labour. P.S - From the drawings in the manual it does show the EZ meter before the loads that aren't on the back-up side, i am just hoping that it could be attached differently. If any of the above has been described in a manner unbecoming of a solar/electrical expert, i do apologise. Thank you in advance for the assistance. Regards,
  10. @Coulomb thank you very much. I will have a look and let you know. Really appreciate the help
  11. Good afternoon everyone, I have been running the following system for the past year: Axpert 3kVA 48V inverter 6 x 375W JA Solar panels 12 x Excis 102Ah batteries The system has worked flawlessly for the past year. With a little bit of education to the family we have managed to keep the times that we exceed the 2.4kW, to the bare minimum. Yesterday I walked into the garage where everything is run from, to find my feed CB from the house to the Inverter tripped. Tried to switch it on and it tripped immediately. Had a look in the house and the feed CB to the garage and El there also tripped. Took the AC input off the inverter and ran my angle grinder from the feed without any issues. From the above I narrowed it down to an Inverter issue. Question is, what component is causing what seems like a short to ground? The Inverter output is still working flawlessly. Any assistance or info where to look would be much appreciated. Regards,
  12. Good morning everyone, I have been reading up on different topics on this forum for a very long time and have found so much info and advise on this site. My current setup is as follows: 3kVA Axpert 48v inverter 6 x 375W JA Solar PERC Modules ( 2 strings of 3 in Series) 12 x Excis 102Ah batteries Back-up load wired in house for lights and plugs The whole system is run from my garage, with the panels on the flat roof. I have run into a problem with the Inverter, which i will post on the correct section of this Forum. Could i ask which one would be the best to Post on? Regards,
