Planning new install

Featured Replies

We are very late to the party, but now is the time. I am afraid of analysis paralysis and don't just want to ask the first installer for his recommendation without sufficient knowledge. Our requirement is at around an 8kW inverter, but due to the following I am going for 2x5kW inverters. This will probably be Deye due to slightly lower pricing than Sunsynk (but you're welcome to change my mind):

1. I want to run 2 geysers in peak solar production hours, which in our house is low consumption time in any case.

2. Redundancy. If we lose one inverter at least we will have some functionality left.

In terms of battery service I am open to be convinced, currently thinking Hubble AM5, Dyness, Greenwich or Felicity (10kwh (2x5 for redundancy) again - upgradable).

Panels will be around 16x 500-600 tier1 panels.

For the inverters, the following applies. I need to determine for 2x 5kW, which of the parameters will change - in relation to both battery and panel array configuration (strings current and voltages)
