  1. Hi, I have 18 550w panels currently installed. What is the best configuration (busy debating with the installer). Roof Space available is 4 north, 7 west, 7 east. He has currently installed the 3 strings as above but north and east on 1st mppt and west on the 2nd mppt. I have 2 concerns, is the VOC (50 per panel) to high and is the different panel direction not a problem? help pls 8kw Sunsynk is the inverter. I have the option to change panels to 425w trinas which i am leaning to
  2. Thanks and waterproofing? seems they fit flush on the roof
  3. Hi all I just want to check how effective these brackets are. These pics are taken from fb and I have a similar roof so just want to confirm. TIA
  4. Interested to see how this progress, in particular the brackets used to fasten panels.
  5. Spec found, anything converning or odd here? Solarpro-550W-solar-module-catalogue-SP2022-V3.0 (1).pdf
  6. Hi Steve, is option 2 still non compliant if signed off by the municipality? What is the risk of a relay bond failing? Are there other mitigations one could put in place?
  7. Hi, recommended replacement panels for 425w trina panels. Are these ok? Does anyone have the spec sheet? It is 550w panels but not sure of the quality
  8. Hi, how do these slimlines compare to the 7kw bsl mounrack ito comparable cycles?
  9. Hi, just took the leap. 8kw SS, 2 x 5kw BSL, 18 Trina 425 panels installed. R165k. Best references in my search in CT.
  10. That is a really good price (R25k less that the most reasonable quote i have from High Cell Solar). Can a SS inverter take that many kw's? Thanks
  11. Thanks, totally agree. Just received a quote that is more ballpark. 8kw SS, 2 x Bsl powerline 5kw, 14 trina 425w panels, R165k incl COC and SSEG. Master installer on sunsynk website. Busy doing reference checking but anything i should be looking out for?
  12. Hi, I saw Solar Sonic has at 4.20 a watt
  13. https://jcsolarpanels.co.za/shop/solar-power-kits/hybrid-solar-kits/8kw-sunsynk-volta-stage-3-solar-kit/ https://jcsolarpanels.co.za/shop/solar-power-kits/hybrid-solar-kits/8kw-sunsynk-10kwh-solar-kit/ Found these 2 useful indications with 16 panels. Anything from the kits and how does the volta batteries compare?
  14. Hi, any similar suggestions for Cape Town?
