Assalaamu alaikum, Change your geyser element to a 2kw GeyserWise PTC with wifi controller Also install a CBI Astute Smart Controller and change over switch for the geyser In that way you can switch your geyser between grid and backup whenever you want, and you can also control the geyser and temperature from your phone Works well for me Also installed change over switch for my electric stove. Stove runs off grid but there's been the odd occasion when it was load shedding and the wife asked me to switch the stove to backup. Also works well for me.
و عليكم السلام I built my own Wi-Fi geyser controller that uploads data points and plots it. Take a look here Off Grid Solar Water Heating - Is It Worth It? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xClSxBWfqs.html I have a changeover for the geyser, so I can run it off the inverter if required. No need for the cbi astute with my own invention. Those ptc elements are expensive.
@@ElecAndAll yes, they're expensive, but worth it, they do the same job as the normal 4kw spiral but with half the effort And I can switch my geyser between grid and inverter whenever I want ROI is achieved in like 6 months
Great video and happy new years. I would love if you did a run on the aircon. I would like to install maybe 1 or 2 aircon 9000btu units but unsure what is the demand on my 5kw deye
Assalamu Alaykum. It has been extremely valuable being able to learn from your journey. You went from a smallish system to a very big one in a short period of time it seems.. would you recommend going big inverter up front and then slowly build the solar and battery capacity as one goes along ?
I have an 8kw inverter with 2 x 5kw batteries, and now with hindsight, I'm thinking I should have went with 2 x 5kw inverters or 1 x 12kw inverter. So yes, rather go big on inverter from onset because it's the most expensive item and is also the heart of the system. All other items can be added gradually as budget permits.
