September 22, 20168 yr Author And for all that were wondering. Yes we do have the busbars and battery terminal fuses :>
September 22, 20168 yr At LAST!!! But where are the nice busbars I suggested? The ones with nice colors. Our setups must look cool. I will be in contact.
September 22, 20168 yr Author Colors There will be! :> How do the prices compare so far? I shall be shot soon, Jay
September 22, 20168 yr 8 minutes ago, Energy said: I shall be shot soon, No, do NOT think like that. There is a price are on the web, and THEN you get Gumtree. I am 100% for smaller margins on hardware, make money on installation for that is a skill that is scarce. How people, not you Energy, can sell equipment at "market prices" adding no value and charge for installation on top of that, just freeking ticks me off. Sooner solar installers becomes the same as electrician, the better. The prices are very good. Victron now just needs to follow Voltronic and drop theirs to you. Ps. Make price VAT inclusive.

As I said, I have it on some authority that they are working on this. They want to sell to the common man too, not just the rich man :-) Apparently a cheaper 800W Multiplus is scheduled for Europe real soon now, and lessons learned from that will find its way into new products.

Had same chat with Victron on the Voltronic price difference few months ago. Told them they have no chance to compete in SA with these Voltronic prices. So I am very happy to hear they are making work of it, just another feather in their cap say I, because of us (you and I and any other person who wants to) being able to chat direct with the bosses and them actually listening. Respect Victron.

Trade agreements and stuff will help the east, guaranteed. 4 minutes ago, The Terrible Triplett said: So I am very happy to hear they are making work of it Targeting Europe first I think. We should not forget that these Voltronic inverters also make it into Europe, I would think particularly some of the former Eastern-European ones. That just makes business sense: Invade that market first! :-)
September 23, 20168 yr Author Hi Guys What trojan batteries do you wish to see on the forums online store? Sincerely Jay
October 20, 20168 yr Author Hi Guys! Exited to announce we launching tonight. Please if any members find an issue let us know. To start off we have just put the basics in. But we will be adding more and more products from your requests. I hope everyone is happy with it. I have photoshop images coming out my ears, hehe Sincerely Jason
October 20, 20168 yr On 23/09/2016 at 1:46 PM, Energy said: Hi Guys What trojan batteries do you wish to see on the forums online store? Sincerely Jay How about T1275 Plus? Or other equivalent 12V Trojans?
October 20, 20168 yr Author We will be adding new products every week. Specifically the Trojans. Whats not on the store, please do request.
October 20, 20168 yr 3 hours ago, cvzyl said: How about T127 Is the J185P-AC (12v 205ah 1200cycles at 50% DOD) not better value?
October 20, 20168 yr TTT, I don't know the Trojan range that well. I currently have 1275's, that's the only reason I asked about them. I prefer to keep to the 12V batteries, easier to find equipment that can charge and equalise them externally.
October 20, 20168 yr Understood. My suggestion was that it is maybe better to have the higher specced ranges in the shop, and when a specific model is needed, then contact Energy for a price. Why is because on some sites they have pages and pages of batteries that in itself becomes confusing and becomes a real pain to keep up to date. Trojan prices vary due new stock linked to $/Zupta currency.
October 20, 20168 yr Author Dear All We have just launched The Power Forum online store. www.powerforum-store.co.za The first development was to get the store front online and to add a good few popular products. Each week we will be adding more products as per popular request! :> We strive to bring you renewable energy at the very best possible end client cost. Thus making Renewable Energy Components accessible to everyone! The platform is built, so do let us know what you would like to see on the store and we will make it happen and bring them to you at the best possible costs! Sincerely Jason - Founder
