Identity Seeker Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 This was a discussion I had on Solarway chat today asking for some guidance: Solarway: Welcome to our site, if you need help simply reply to this message, we are online and ready to help. Me:Hi Solarway: hello there Solarway: how are you Solarway: how may we assist ? Me: The Growat inverters Me: Are they hybrid inverters? Solarway: yes all our inverters are hybrid inverters Me: Ok so the blend AC and DC energy? Solarway: you cannot mix them together at the same time Solarway: you can changeover from AC to DC Me: As far as I am aware, true hybrid inverters blend both AC input and DC whereas off grid inverters either only use DC or AC energy at a time and never both so The growatt inverters you say are hybrid Solarway: the inverter has both Solarway: ac and dc Solarway: however it cannot be used at the same time , that is not possible on inverters Me: The Deye inverters can Me: Goodwe too Solarway: deye inverters are super hybrid Is there any other company that can assist with advising on the correct system and products that you can trust knows what they are talking about?

Chloe Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Have you tried the Powerforum-store? They seem to be super helpful. Yellow Measure and Identity Seeker 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buyeye Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 @Identity Seekerhi I have a growatt spf 5000es it blends pv and grid just fine but the monitoring app can't tell the difference. You see on the inverter screen how many amps are coming from solar and how many are coming from the grid. It's an ok budget friendly option. If budget is tight then it's good. If you can stretch the budget a little further you will be happier with the deye/sunsynk inverters as they are true hybrids and can feed into the grid where available.

gbyleveldt Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Goodwe inverters are good, the local support is the problem. Or, rather, non existent. For that reason alone I suggest you look at Sunsync (which is what I should’ve done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Still waiting on a quote from solarway for the 390 Jas. Mailed and called and months later still no quote. Took my money elsewhere (Solar advice) Collected my panels days later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreeniP Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Solarway seems well priced. I have been dealing with Mohammed and visited their store in Greenside, JHB. He was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Not too sure about the online service though. Just starting with solar...initially I purchased 2xGrowatt 5KW ES inverters however after reading the reviews, digging a little (very deep) deeper into the pocket I decided to exchange it for the Deye, 8KW inverter. Will pair it with 2xPylontech US3000 batteries. Considering Canadian Solar panels or JA Solar Mono 380W. The price from Solarway for: Deye Inverter: R31899 and Pylontech US3000–C: R17999 each JA Solar 380W Mono: R2099 Any thoughts or suggestions on the pairing or pricing?

Identity Seeker Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Thanks all. I check out Solar Advice's website. Really informative and has all calculators etc to work everything out yourself. Spoke to Leon there, super helpful, got a great deal and now all installed. Highly recommend their Fusion / Deye system https://solaradvice.co.za/product/fusion-8kw-4-8kwh-lithium-ion-solar-power-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
