It happens, I replaced two which were swollen and warranty rejected because of overcharge even though BMS comms between the inverter and battery bank was there. The funny thing is that out of eight batteries, only two got overcharged three years ago when I still had only five batteries, and the swelling happened last year. Be careful of speeding, you race your car today and three years down the line you end up in an accident driving at 60km/h in 100km/h zone, the insurance will say you were driving recklessly three years ago and will decline your claim ...lol

It's different from trading in a vehicle. One doesn't purchase a car for R12000 and trade it in for R2000, which is about 16% of the original cost, unless the car is being scrapped. If the vehicle is a non-runner or has been in an accident, then the situation changes. You are comparing apples with strawberries here. Anyone with US3000C wishing to trade in for R2000, I'm here to take one or few, for an extra R1000 on top of that trade value please

If the trade-in value is R2000, it's simply not a smart decision! You're effectively losing your batteries for that amount. Instead, consider selling them for a price that you find acceptable or continue using them until they can no longer function, allowing you the flexibility to purchase any brand you prefer. There are numerous alternatives available in the battery market, and the prices are quite appealing.

This has been running for the past four years without any issues. You only need gas CoC after the installation of the gas water heater, not electric CoC. Nothing will blow up even if you go from 0 to 75 deg, the gas water will ignite and heat up water and when water from the electric geyser at 75 deg gets to the gas water heat, it switches off and just let the hot water from the electric geyser to pass through.

Asking for a friend, are you going to use a qualified electrician? if so, he will advice on which cable is best to use and how he will get it through to the DB. My advise, involve your electrician and communicate your plans/ideas with him and get his advice. We all have different approaches when it comes to installations and the advice you will get here on the forum might differ with one you will get from the person who is actually going to the job.

Using Grid to supply the relay and connecting N/E to N/C contact. If the grid drops, N/C will close, connecting your N and E. Simple

You can leave the brackets and take panels and rails with you. No repairs will be required

hi @Kha2 I didn't buy any additional devices, the gas geyser came configured or set up to ignite when it detect cold water and switch off when hot water is detected. In the morning, especially in winter, cold water from the pipes get heated up when you take a shower and then when hot water from the electric geyser pass through, it switches off automatically. You get almost instant hot water all the time, you don't have to open the taps long and wait for hot water, wasting water. I can't remember the exact temperatures, the geyser has build in temperature controller Temperature controller connection relocated to PC board Installer-aided manual temperature settings: 40, 42, 45, 50, 55, 67, 70, 75 Temperature controllers allow full range temperature settings

After removing solar, I had to do a new CoC.

Yep, it was specified in the OTP, that the gas water heater, solar system and all wiring and piping associated, were excluded form the sale of the house. The buyer negotiated that while pushing to get a lower price. All were removed, walls patched and painted before the sale went through. I sold my two Growatts and replaced them with a 12kw Luxpower LXP

I did the same when I moved house last year, the new owner didn't want to buy the system and I was not prepared to let it go for free. To move my system to the new house it cost me less than R10k, which included un-installation from the old house, removing of all cables, modifications in the DB and CoC. Installation at the new house and CoC

not sure if they have a branch in CPT
