June 14, 20233 yr Hey Guys, we bought a house with two 5kw mercer inverters, 4 Li-ion batteries & 16 x solar panels have no idea the capacity of the last two items. Because of our lack of knowledge or explanation from the owners, we inadvertently killed the inverter that was linked to 10 of the solar panels & 2 of the batteries. We have been running on 6 panels, 1 inverter & 2 batteries trying to cope with loadshedding & providing enough power to run a 7 room house along with everything else after an electrician hooked up the entire house to run on solar as it was split into two different systems before the inverter died. I have been using the 1kva-5kva User Manual on Geewiz.co.za to hopefully get settings right & such. At the moment, there has been a surprise load shedding all day in fact & of course it’s been rainy & cloudy so not much charge. Any settings if you can give for this type of situation would be appreciated I know I haven’t given much information.
June 14, 20233 yr Think we are going to need a little more info to provide any feedback. What are the current issues you are experiencing? What batteries do you have? Any idea of the panels' wattage/model? Edited June 14, 20233 yr by spotity

When the power is off and the sun is shining the inverter should do the rest. You have to manage the battery SoC, your load and PV generation.
June 14, 20233 yr The detail of your devices are crucial before answers can be given. Batteries,panels etc?
