May 25, 20242 yr It finally happened. My 4kw Axpert clone blew up (error9) Took it apart and 3 IGBT transistors, a few zener diodes and a a few resistors was among the dead. I will not be repairing as I have lost faith in these type of inverters. Now I need help please. I only have R16000 to buy a new inverter. Solar= 2400W Battery = Pylontech UP5000 Inverter = NONE Software = Raspberry Pi 3B Solar Assistant Base load varies between 90-500W (Fridge/Freezer, Wifi, Alarm system, Cameras and TV) Peak load between 10:00 -14:00 (Geyser 1.5kw PTC element 150L) Using Solar and 04:00-05:00 using grid (2kW total) Would like to get the Deye 5kW or the Solis 5kW or similar. Any good suppliers you could point me to would be greatly appreciated

Seems a bit cheap. it's from the powerstore They are on clearance that's why they so cheap, that model is no longer manufactured so they trying to move the stock. Very good inverter, but honestly the newer s6 model is way better aND FOR ONLY A FEW BUCKS EXTRA

Seems a bit cheap. it's from the powerstore I see this model at just below R16th on the site. If so then the S6 stands out as my choice for a tiny bit more $ as @WannabeSolarSparky mentioned.

May 26, 20242 yr This "The Power Store" "Registered Office: 1 Sunfish Crescent, St Helena Bay with a 011 phone number?🤔 Just asking.

Funny, because I can not find it in the power store search or inverter list
May 26, 20242 yr Author Just asking. Are there 2 Powerstores? The one with the small house is what I get when I click from the powerforum and the other comes up when I do a google search. Something smells fishy?
