Langman Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Guys, I had some bad luck last week, my solar system got fried by lightning. And my batts cried after the untimely death of the inverter, came home to a splash pool size of battery "tears" on the floor. I am in the final stages of the insurance claim, and just want some advise and recommendations for replacement. Equipment: 1x 5kw rebranded Axpert II 4x 355w Canadian Solar Kupower PV, 4x 120AH Flooded batts 1x HA-02 - Seems to be toast, as the differences we're massive on the battery bank, and it's not squealing like an angry Mozzie anymore. And then some cables etc. Day time load: 400w base load, plus 1kw, for 4 hours 10-2pm for the Pool pump. The system was sufficient to carry all load from around 8am, to 4pm, where I would switch to utility mode to save batts in case of load shedding, and then Batt mode around bed time. This was quite tedious to manually do daily so a bit of automation in this regard would be appreciated. Evening average around 500w load 6Pm-6AM. Your suggestions would be appreciated on a replacement system, maybe upgrades if there is budget. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I would highly recommend taking a Goodwe inverter instead. The axpert inverters are not approved for non off-grid use, so in future it would become a problem to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
