  1. Hello Would greatly appreciate understanding how you set-up your geysers "off-grid" indicated in your Spec below and how you managed to significantly lower your consumption: I have just installed the following: 5740 Kw PV Array + 5KW Phocos Inverter + 7Kwh Pylontech US3000 I have not connected my 200L geysers through Inverter (isolated the circuit, so powered direct from grid), though would be interested to know how the Geyser-wise functions and whether I could connect atleast 1 geyser through Inverter. Other High-powered loads I have are: Booster Pump, Borehole Pump, Lawn Mower, Iron, Microwave Kindly advise if your Inverter has Over-ride Timers to manage loads during the day. I.e My setting is SBU (Solar-Batt-Utility) Thanks Off-grid 7.56 kW PV array, 2x Synapse 5.0K+ 5KW 48v in parallel (aka Axpert KING) (FW 71.70) 01-SBU, 02-40A, 11-10A, 12-48v, 13-51v, 16-SLb/UCb, 26-53.2v, 27-53.2v, 29-45.5v EMS 48100a1 9.6kWh li-ion 100Ah 48v Huawei (was a nightmare), 14 kWh Pylontech US3000 (most times fully charged at 12:30) 2x 200 liter electrical geysers (2kW element) in series with geyser-wise, powered by solar from 8:45 - 14:15, Gas hob, oven bypassed to grid directly. monitoring still an issue (ICC with Pylontech cable), grid use down to +- 35kWh per week (from +-32kWh per day), some kinks to resolve, hope for 12kWh per week (6kWh for week ending 01-12-2019).
  2. Hello Did you manage to get the correct communication cable between Pylon-Phocos?

  4. did the pinouts work out? Did you use the RS485 port to connect this new cable to your inverter BMS? What were your DIP switch settings on your pylontechs?
