  1. Thanks I didn't think of it that way, very good point, that being said, I am still wondering how some of the other brands are performing, Greenrich, Volta, Dyness etc.?
  2. I didn't want to put the limitation on the post, I have 2 smaller BSL batteries, I would have compared the cost/value of adding a third vs possibly another option, but again I didn't want the discussion to be around my specific setup.
  3. Good afternoon, the time has come for me to upgrade my current battery, I would like to get recommendations what would be the best bang for buck at the moment, meaning best combo for value and reliability. I don't really want to put any sort of limitation on size, number of batteries etc, but would say my zone is around 10-15kw size. Please let me know what combo and brand seems to be on top of the list at the moment. Thanks
  4. Just the 5kw version
  5. I'm searching for a used BSL battery, please let me know if you are selling one.
  6. Need your input as to what might be happening, I have a 8kw sunsynk inverter with 2 x BSL batteries (plus panels), in the photos it seems that when my battery reaches about 40% it suddenly drops and then charges again, is it potentially a setting or maybe a bigger problem?
  7. Parrot posted a topic in Inverters
    This morning I got a F51 fault on my Sunsynk 8kw inverter, one of my 2 BSL batteries look like it is not working, any suggestions what I need to look at?
  8. Some amazing prizes!
  9. Could you let me know where to find those brackets for the BSL battery please?
  10. What bracket did you use to mount the battery? Looks really good
  11. Item: Sunsynk 5kw with Solarman wifi dongle Age: 2 years 3 months Price: R19000 Payment Method Accepted: EFT Warranty: 2 years 9 months Packaging: In box Condition: Excellent working condition, with repairs just completed by Sunsynk, controller card replaced, re-tested and OK’d by Sunsynk Location: JHB (at Sunsynk facility) Reason: Upgraded to 8kw Sunsynk Shipping: The inverter needs to be shipped to me in Cape Town, shipping can be redirected (I will send wifi dongle separately) Collection: Possibly at the Sunsynk facility in JHB, can check
  12. I would like to know if there is a setting on my Sunsynk 5kw inverter where I can “activate” my non-essential loads during loadshedding to use my panels/batteries? Say for instance on a very hot day, during loadshedding, I want to run my aircon, is there a way around the non-essential side? Thanks
  13. I have not touched any settings thus far since the installation a couple of months ago, and everything is working great, but wanted to get some advice for optimal settings to get the most out of my 2 batteries everyday, while also making sure they are handled with care for the long term. I am sure there is a good balanced setting setup, or at least get a couple of suggestions to consider?
  14. I need advice for wall mounting 2 BSL batteries, the photo shows pretty much what I want to do. Any advice considering the 100kg weight, has someone done this before, any tips to consider?
  15. I currently have 6 panels on my west-facing roof and 4 panels on my normal angled north-facing roof. I don't have more north-facing space but a medium sized flat roof on the northern side that gets the same amount of sunlight. Would it be possible to add a couple more panels on the flat roof to the angled north-facing string? So basically the question, can I add different angled panels to the same string?
  16. Good evening I have 10 x 455w panels with a 5kw Sunsynk inverter, currently using about 70% of my generating capacity with battery, aircon, poolpump etc and manually switching my 3kw geyser on for 3 hours from 11-2pm. I need to streamline the geyser part since I might be going back to the office, what could you recommend for me, and someone else would need to install it for me, so if you know of someone that could do this in Cape Town it would also be appreciated. Complete novice comment, but thought something like a 2kw XTend PTC Ceramic element (northfaceenergy) with a geyserwise kit could work?
