    I have installed the Deye 8kw a week ago. Took me a while to figure it all out, but it works like a charm. True Hybrid. Mixes energy from either PV & Grid, or PV & Batteries. But the real nice thing is the level to which you can customise it. I set mine to "load first". As soon as the sun comes up, it starts powering the house, and use the excess to power the batteries. When the sun sets, it starts running of batteries. It set it up to go back to grid at 40% (20% to protect the bateries and 20% buffer to cater for load-shedding). Around 22:00 my batteries run out, and it reverts to grid. So I have no electricity bill between 08:00 and 22:00 - even run my geyser of it. And when the sun is shining, it charges my batteries again. With the touch of a button you can change it to load the batteries from grid if need be. Really impressed with it. Busy ordering more batteries as we speak - to take me totally off grid on sunny days...
