    Wood prop & FG result next to each other.
    Now I can determine the cost for a blade.

    Resine            400G   R 220
    Hardener        120G   R   70
    Carbon Fiber             R 330 
    Total                           R 620

    Thus 3 blades R 1860.  At this cost I will now design a aluminum mounting system which I can use to turn the blade.

    With the mold working well the two parts taking time is the cut of the carbon fiber that must be done at a greater accuracy and then the drying time in this weather is +/- 5 hours.
    If one chooses to use wood to mount the blade then the extra cost for that will be one 3M 40 x 40 pine.  The cost R46

    Considered the quote was R22 000 for 3 blades.

    Now the manufacturing process of the blades I would consider done and the total build will start.

    I had to email Deye to enable this on my account as I couldn't get it working myself.

    Hi there,
     
    I figured out if you set your max sell power to whatever your solar array is then you get the result you are looking for.
    I've spent hours myself trying to figure this out and that did it.
    Let me know if this works for you.
    This is for my Deye inverter so you'll have to find the Sunsynk equivalent.

    Try convince your client that they need to get Lithium batteries. I'm surprised the lead acid batteries lasted as long as that.

    For those of you who doubt the Sunsynk 8.8kw inverter, here are some figures of what I produced today. 

    This outclasses Victron by far!

    Also stay very far away from lead acid batteries, they really are terrible.
