    Mustek, but you can buy only through the register installer. if you are planning to go for infinisolar 4kw super forget it as Mustek doesn't want to import them any longer as they discovered "hidden"/ potential malfunction .
  2. @Manie did it again!! New version of ICC and MQTT will be available tonight for download. I am so delighted with new data showed there. Thanks again Manie for excellent work.
  3. They do send it over here but you must arrange the shipping with them. I bought four Axperts from them and the shipping was very cheap. If you use them expect some "benefits"
  4. I just spoke with sells person from Bonanza . He sais that inverters are ok, not damaged and reason for that price is that Renesaol is withdrawing from residential kit market and going for the big ( industrial, block of plats etc) Unfortunately these inverters are not stackable.
  5. Cable size is determined by the battery Amps. I use 50mm2 for 600A bank

    I upgraded it too but MQTT Dashboard doesn't show all data so, I returned to old one
  7. Right, I can't agree more.
  8. According to Narada's data sheet at 10.5v ( 42v for 48v bank ) the battery is dead
  9. Thanks to all good ppl who helped me with their advices regards
  10. Thanks for reminder @viper_za, I must admit that I didn't count on extra chargers .. Well in that case I must go for Infinisolars again. Nothing wrong with Mazda but RR is RR. In next drawing I might have some more luck.
  11. And I meant you were talking about Victrom as you were/are in the Dutchland!
  12. Hi @Chris Hobson, thanks for the respond. There are three families living in the house meaning 3 stoves,3 washing machines, two electric geysers and so on, and so on, multiplie by 3. We use between 25-45kwh/day. I had two 4kw Axperts for one year than I added a third plus additional 12 250w panels and that setting is working just fine for me (except on cloudy days) I am on solar during the day and on Eskom at night, and on the batteries if necessary. My aim is also to buy a hybrid. Firstly the plan was to go for Infinisolar Super but 3 of them will cost me as much as one Quattro. So why would go for Mazda if I can have a RR for similar money!!? And on the end: do you remember late Martin Luther King's saying :"I have a dream!" so I have one too, to show the finger to Eskom as I did to Hellcom.
  13. I am almost sure that you know some think rest of us don't, do you?
  14. Thanks for very encouraging answer/advice. @plonksterThis is what I was looking for but wasn't sure I can afford one as everybody sais "Vector is very expensive" but compering with Infinisloar Super Victron looks much more acceptable. Yes, I have a grid connection. No, I don't mind offloading peaks to the grid! Most of the loads are below 8kw ( between 5-7) so, I don't mind having Quattro 8KW if the price is not much higher than Q8000(6KW). On the end I must thank you soooo much as this is exactly what I want/need!
  15. Speaking of witch(es), I have a doubt where to go from where I am now. My original plan was to start with cheap inverters in order to gain some knowledge about solar and to wait and give a chance inverter manufactures to develop better and cheaper machines as this is always happening with electronics. So this is my dilemma: Three 4kw Axperts a enough for me and I am looking for similar size og better inverters. Infinisolar Super x3 would be enough for me Price is R60k but it is steel cheep manufacturer say it is Mazda. Victron (RR) Quattro 8000 cost similar amount of Rands but is little bit too small. I couldn't find the supplier and the price in SA for Victron 10000 and this is where my problem lies. I am calling good ppl to help me with some ideas. Regards
  16. What about your Axpert? It takes only 3KW panels and PVT might produce more then that, so my advice is to you is to ask for at least one Infinisolar Super.
