  1. HI Vassen, please could you share your time of use settings?
  2. Thanks Louis makes sense, in this case I shouldnt have a problem if I keep the panels in series within voltage range and parralel them at the inverter (impp of 9.7A/panel), even though the max amps /mpp is 18A, SHOULD the excess amperage be clipped or WILL the the excess amperage be clipped?
  3. So it isn't actually possible to use a full 8kw array made up of 360-410W panels with SunSynk inverters? As either the voltage or amperage will always be out of range
  4. Hi, hoping someone can explain this to me, on the SunSynk the datasheet says that it has a max DC voltage of 500V, so it is my intention to run two strings of 10x Canadian Solar 410W panels, which would give a VOC of 476V /mpp. But on the very next line in the spec sheet it states that the mpp working range is 125V-425V, can someone please explain this to me?

  6. Good morning if anyone could explain how to go about wiring the E-N bond on the backup output of the Goodwe Es I would highly appreciate it. I have searched the forum for an answer with no luck on a clear explanation. Thank you
  7. Thanks Achmat
  8. Good Evening, I have a question regarding hybrid inverters specifically SunSynk 8kW. If you have (for example) 7kW load on the backup output during the day and 2 geysers (call it 6kW) up stream on-grid, will 1 kW excess PV be supplied to the geysers without overloading the inverter? Assuming the wiring is correct with CT in the correct place

  10. Hi All I am new to the forum, been lurking for many months. I have a small solar installation business and this forum has helped me with troubleshooting certain install issues on more than one occasion, I was hoping someone could clear up some confusion for me, I see in the sseg guidelines/regulations that there is a limitation on the size of a grid tied installation based on the customer's existing incoming supply. Do these limitations only apply if the customer plans on exporting to the grid? Or does it still apply if the client does not plan on exporting and the intention is entirely for self consumption. PS - Sorry if this in the wrong section I will get used to things as I post more
