January 30, 20242 yr Simple question, but I just want to confirm: My domestic comes one day per week and the dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer etc are all in use. Unfortunately this usually coincides with load shedding so we are relying entirely on our deye inverter/batteries. Unsurprisingly, our 5kw inverter trips. Is this due to the fact that we are using more than 5kw to power all the appliances? This being the case, should I install another 5kw inverter?
January 30, 20242 yr Either the inverter could trip (if you exceed 5kW) or the battery could trip (if you exceed it's rating). What battery are you using? 36 minutes ago, Slarty said: Simple question, but I just want to confirm: My domestic comes one day per week and the dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer etc are all in use.

What battery are you using? shoto 2 x 5.12kWH lithium batteries. I got another 5kw inverter + 4 solar panels installed. Do I now have to update the solarman App? if so, do you know how to do it. Many thanks

Many thanks Yeah you were tripping the inverter (as the battery is rated for 1C max); the second one in parallel (and the pair of batteries to match) should sort you out. Don't have any solarman experience, unfortunately.
