Yes, we have (Well the client) has decided that we go with the 5kVA Multi with 2X batteries for the meantime, then when we get another 2 we can get the 4 Battery Cabinet. I have not noticed the US2000C and will definitely look into it, Price etc and get them, as a better option.
Thank you for your information Pierre, much appreciated. I will keep you up- dated with the progress. 
 

I am extremely impressed with such a neat installation, Very Professional. Great Job. Well done Pierre...!!!

Got the sign-off from CoCT about a month ago, so my DIY solar project is finally done and dusted. Thanks to everyone on the forum that provided advice - I probably would have stuffed it up if it wasn't for you.
The whole project took about three months of evenings and weekends to finish, and was a welcome distraction from the current state of the world.
 

4 strings of 4 Canadian Solar 400Wp poly panels in series, facing NNE.
 

Another string of 4 Canadian Solar 400Wp panels in series, facing WNW.
All five strings are paralleled together for a combined 8kWp.
 

This is my main DB. CoCT installed a new split prepaid meter. According to the technician that installed it it has built-in reverse power blocking. I have tested it to see what it does when I try to feed in power in to the grid, and it charges me in both directions. That is perfectly fine in my opinion - much preferable to it tripping when there is momentary feed-in.
Grid power is measured by an ET112. There is a breaker that connects the main DB to the solar installation in the scullery:

Top-left is the AC DB. Top-right is the DC combiner box. Bottom left is the Multiplus II 5kVA inverter, and bottom middle the SmartSolar 250/100 MPPT. The SmartSolar was initially running a bit hot for my liking, so I mounted it on a 6mm thick aluminium plate which brought down peak temperatures from 82C to 65C. Bottom-right is the Victron Cerbo. The battery cabinet on the floor contains 5 PylonTech US2000 batteries for a total nominal capacity of 12kWh. I've set it to 80% DoD:

The geyser and oven, as well as the swimming pool DB are connected to the main DB, so those are unpowered when there is loadshedding. The AC DB in the scullery is connected to the output of the Multiplus, so all the essential loads stay powered when grid power goes down.
 

Hi There, I do apologise for the confusion. I just received earlier this morning from my client that this is in fact the actual Kodak. And, Correct it is not the KING. I only found on Program 23 that the Bypass is set on Default. As you have mentioned that this Unit does not have this Mode.

Okay Thank you, I will check all this and revert.
