great. I don't know what the price is of those packages. The Sunsynk logger is seamless because it is designed by Sunsynk.

You won't be sorry about installing the 8kV as juggling loads is usually avoided. It takes all the worry out of normal household chores as it can handle three or four appliances under 2000 W with ease without tripping. Also think of using the auxiliary output for powering your geyser once the batteries are 100%. It is very easy to switch the auxiliary onto the grid on rainy days. On hot days I run a 24btu aircon constantly with my two Hubble batteries never less than 95% but usually 100% by the end of the day. I have an East West configuration with only five 390W panels on both sides. When the sun is shining the batteries are 100% by 10h30 to 11h00.

I have installed the Sunsynk data logger. It is a vast improvement to the Solarmann. With the authorisation you can make changes remotely on your system. The logger is far less expensive than the riot and works brilliantly.

Hi, great choice of inverter. Check out the Aux output. I charge my geyser as soon as my batteries are 100%. If it is rainy you just switch on the grid to the auxiliary if your geyser isn't hot enough. This saves us a fortune in power and is very convenient.

This is a very neat install. Consider getting the Sunsynk data logger to complete the installation. It beats the solarmann setup by far and allows one to adjust your settings when needed.

Fuse protection, Lightning protection and isolation of the DC strings. This is a legal requirement.

Hi, the Inverter terminals can't take 16mm2 never mind 25mm2. The DB is protected at 63A. 10mm2 is greater than most installers put in. 10mm2 is great for the house as this is the cable size on my incomer. Even under loads close to 8kVa the cables are cool showing all is ok. (Geyser, tumble dryer, washing machine and dish washer). This is very rare. In fact I tested it under high load but so many appliances are never on together.

I purchased a relay box from power forum shop.

Hi, I used paint which is quite time consuming. TonyH

Yes I do have a ground spike inserted to earth on the outside.

The diagram just shows the connection. It is totally ok in fact that is exactly what I did.

Yes it switches on automatically. On my system if the battery is 99% and I have 400W or more generating from the PV's, the geyser heats up. I need to add that at 95% battery the AUX will switch off power to the geyser. On a hot day the aux switches on two or three times.

Here is a diagram that has passed COC

A Heat Pump costs about R25 000. If a first time installer puts in an 8KVa Sunsynk then uses the Auxiliary output to power the Geyser through a thermostat, the extra cost is R12 000 - R14 000 and one has much more flexibility. The 8KVa can handle at least three high power appliances with ease.

I have connected my Sunsynk auxilliary ourput to heat up my geyser as soon as the batteries are full and the PVs are generating more than 400W. This helps a great deal with idle time and keeps my geyser nice and hot. The same can be done with aircons on the grid side, if your Inverter can handle it. I have installed an 8KVa which can handle the amps easily.

I am trying to get better data recording from my Sunsynk inverter on a windows 10 PC. Has anyone accessed data from a Sunsynk inverter for logging on pvoutput.org?

Report after two weeks with PV panels. I am very impressed with the easy to use programming. The system is working well and charging my Hubble AM2 before 12 midday. The 5.5kW battery discharges to between 37% and 41% in the morning. On the odd evenings where we have used the oven for a couple of hours we use the grid from about 5am as the battery is at my minimum of 35%. We have ordered another Hubble AM2 as this will make us totally self sufficient no matter what ESKOM does. Commissioning problems were solved quickly. The software had to be downloaded by wifi to allow the Inverter to use the battery during the night. This was done remotely and was solved within 24hrs. I was impresses with the Sunsynk backup. Synsynk 8kW Inverter (8kW chosen so that house users don't worry about overloading the critical load.) 10 390W JA panels. 5 East and 5 West. 1 Hubble AM2 5.5kW battery.

thank you

Neat installation. Are the AC and DC separated inside the trunking by a metal trunking inside?

Tech support China have sent me an email informing me that they have changed my "type" to "storage". I have not been able to find where this is done. Perhaps the change was downloaded and a normal user can't see this data. Does anyone know where we can see what out inverter "Type" is?

I have set the times starting from 01h00 and all seems ok. I will check tonight to confirm.

Thank you I will try it.

Here are the latest system settings. I am still charging the battery and using grid power at night. I have switched off the inverter and battery and cut all grid power. I was hoping that the system just needed a good reset.

In have checked this for three nights. I am going to see if without 23h?? the same will happen at 00h00 tonight.

There is an incomplete list in the manual. I have a Hubble AM2 which communicated well with the Sunsynk although Hubble isn't on the list.
