  1. Hey I just wanted to make sure I did register my system with my local muncipality back on 2022 already. I have received some certificate thing from them to prove it as well. Now seeing all these eskom postings also about registering is this another thing you need to fill in and compleate again for eskom separately or would the one from municipality be all that is necessary?
  2. Did anything ever come from this conversion I am also looking into this for a beach buggy and was wondering about the registration process do you need to go for roadworthy again after completing the project or would it just be registration papers that change to show new motor information?
  3. Hey all, So i started working on my diy solar setup and think I am starting to get somewhere Axpert 5000 80a 145v one. 8x330w solar panels in strings of 2 (Planning to get another 330w and do 3 stings of 3 later ) DIY combinder box still looking at getting a busbar that will fit between the fuses. 2x pylontech us3000c Keto 125a battery disconnect 1xEarth Neutral bridge box And then a db ready board for after inverter. I have everything connected exept for the Earth Neutral bridge box. I am a bit confused on how to connect this one to the setup and dont want to blow the relay or worse. Any one here have one installed that can provide a bit more info on wiring it up? Some photos below this is the db after inverter I have a seprate braker in the main db comming in to the inverter direcly. Please let me know if i am still missing something here as well. I still need to earth my pannels as well as it currently is not and not sure what the best method would be.
  4. Thank you yes the ouput wires is to plugs thats on th db this is how it came will be replacing that. I am basicly goingn to use the existing wires in the house and move it to the sub DB as they are already running to the lights and plugs correctly not goinh yo use that wires in there
  5. I have a breaker from my main DB to the inverter input. Then the output of the inverter will only handle lights and a few plugs at the back of the house nothing with large loads. Tv lights pc thats about it. in the DB after the inverter I will only have a 20a vor plugs and 10a for lights. Howerver the current EL in die sencond DB from inverter output is rated for 63a and I am unsure if i need to change this and/or use a 63a rated cable from the inverter to the el because thats what its rated for. See photo of what the DB comming from inverter output would be. Ignore spaghetti wires it came like this from takealot.
  6. Hey all I am in te proscsess of making sure I have all the correct wiring before fixing some issues with my setup. I have to older axpert 5kv inverters and working on the ac output from the inverter to the new DB. My El is rated for 63a, does this mean I am required to use a 63a rating cable into the sub db from the inverter out even if the interter wil not be able to output 63a.
