Don't you have a 80A breaker?

No. If our efforts to convince the CoCT to find some compromise for the already installed Inverters fails I will then as a last resort apply for an 80A supply.

Goodwe In Gaurentee faults 9. replaced 7 still fight with them on the other 2 (does not seem i will get them resolved)

Victron Faults 3. Claims all 3 no problem.

 

Goodwe out of warantee Claims 7: Assistance with any sort of repairs or process to repair. ZERO

Victron out of warantee 3. 72 hours repairs done and system working.very reasonable costs

 

so as i HUGE supporter of GoodWe and porably one of the first to install goodwe in SA. I will no longer support this brand.

It does not help you have a good built product that is solid and looks good and works well ... in the beginning but you have NO after sales support AT ALL.

And gents if you have by chance imported this unit by yourself. You will be able to do a warantee claim... FROM CHINA. you will have to pay for all cost to get the machine here including import duties..

Do you think this has to do with your supplier on this one?  The wankers in strydom park? 🙂

As an end user I witnessed my reseller fight with their incompetence for months to look at my equipment after GoodWe in China told them to replace it. Absolutely useless.

My Goodwe inverter throttles the charge coming from my PVs, when the load usage from the home is low. 
In other words it does send charge to my Tesla Power Wall 2 unless the is a significant load eg. 1KW plus.

Had anyone got the same problem. I am concerned the Goodwe will just  walk away when the warranty expires in about 4 months time. 
 

The installer and supplier have not managed to get a satisfactory answer or solution from Goodwe.

I would appreciate some input.
