Need some advice on system setup

Featured Replies

I am interested in getting the following setup:

Sunsynk/Deye - 5kW inverter

Revov R100 / Volta Stage 1 - 5kW batteries

Looking to get the Sunsynk with the Revov or the Deye with the Volta.

Apparently the official Deye importers (Africo Solar) are also the owners of the Volta battery brand. So if you pair them up you get extended 11 year warranty on the battery.

What I want to know is if it is really better to get the Sunsynk over the Deye and if the Volta battery is decent? (See battery brochure attached)

Are there any other battery brands which you wll recommend which are around R27k for a 5kW capacity.

Thanks

I can't comment on the battery but sunsynk and deye are basically the same inverters. Just software is a bit different. Both inverters will accomplish exactly the same thing.

That is how I understand it, but in terms of the software, it seems as though the Sunsynks are kept much more up to date with firmware and new software features. The videos online explaining Deye software are few and far between and mostly in other languages. So just seems as though it would be worth it to pay for the Sunsynk to have more resources in terms of support.
