Leigh Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Hi Gents, just got my first installation done. 10x445w Mono panels 5kw Sunsynk inverter 2x3000c Pylontechs batteries Custom made IP65 battery/inverter cabinet with space for 2 more Pylontechs Yellow Measure and Riaandp 2 Quote
Leigh Posted March 7, 2021 Author Posted March 7, 2021 Brand new to this so got a local installer to supply and install but would love any advice. Quote
Leigh Posted March 9, 2021 Author Posted March 9, 2021 Would like some advice on the best System Mode settings... My thinking is that I set all to discharge to 25% then monitor how long the batteries last, then I can check when I need to get grid to charge the batteries until sunrise... Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks Quote

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks I would only use grid charge if load shedding is expected and there has been overcast conditions causing the batteries to not fully charge. I would also only set the grid charge to 50% as it would be enough to see me through the load shedding slot. Quote

Agree with Achmat, i have a similar setup as you and I've hardly had to use the grid to charge the batteries, only in times of loadshedding... I also discharge my batteries down to 25% across the board.. Quote
