  5. So a while back i got a pair of HO select batteries it took me a while to figure out the pinouts to communicate with the sunsynk but i got it working in the end. But as with every cheapy pick and pay battery looks like the previous owner messed up the cells. Is there anyone that can repair these batteries?
  6. Hi there i have 2 brand new items still in packaging I bought the gx touch 70 with a Victron EasySolar but the EasySolar already has a venus onboard so i never used the GX touch. I broke the seal on it and the supplier didnt wanna take it back. I also have a new wall mount for the gx but yet again inside the gx touch70 there is a wall mount so i have a extra loose one im looking for R4500 on the GX touch and then R250 on the wall mount

  8. Hi there hope someone can help me out So a client of mine bought a Ecco inverter from somewhere and asked me to install it. On what backbone is the ecco running??? Axpert or something else? does anyone have optimal settings for the ecco client only gonna run battery backup no pv Thx for the help
  9. I hope theres someone that can help me. I have a client with a current Victron install they have a 45kw generator on site aswell. They would like to start the generator at a certain battery percentage and let the generator charge the batteries. The generator has a Smartgen controller installed. Im just not sure which aux inputs I can use. And is there a certain setting i have to change on the generator. Another problem i have where is the best pace to connect to on the inverter? Or will it be a better option to go to the colour control?
  10. It was in Montana Pretoria. But i dont now if this guy maybe fed back into the grid.
  11. Hi guys So my wife is a conveyancer yesterday she got a transfer where the guy was fined R20 000 for not registering his solar. Last time i tried to help a client out with this it was a nightmare to get it right. Has anyone tried to register there solar and what is your take on this?
  12. I need some advice from someone who knows the kodak off grid inverters. A clients insall Is running a kodak off grid 5kw inverter with a fox 2.56kWh battery & 6Panels So when Eskom power is on with a hybrid system i now that when you go over your 5kw threshold it substitutes from eskom to not overload. Now Off grids im new to. This off grid when its on eskom and theres a overload it overloads the unit why doesnt it substitute from eskoms side? I heard a few theories but i would like to now for sure. What is the transfer switch size on the 5kw off grid inverter? The other thing it could be is overloading of the battery cause the battery size is smaller than the inverter.
  13. Hi guys have a bit of a wierd issue. So my client overloaded his system with a Iron only certain plugs are on essential but the cleaning lady didnt now so she plugged the iron in. So after the overload the battery gave a alarm. There are no errors on the inverter at all its charging and discharging like it should but the ALM light stays on. I have tried a few restarts on the system but i have no luck any idea what i can do to reset this ALM light on the Giter? System Specs: 3.24 OG Plus Giter 2500 Battery
