Hi Jacqalas. I am looking at this inverter as well, also here in South Africa. Can you say what suburb/area you installed your panels and which panels you used. I am in South Gauteng so am intrigued to consider your panels performance on cloudy/sunny days.
I use 375W Canadian Solar x 10 and the worst would be thick clouds getting about 400W from PV and the average on sunny days 2.5kW - a max of 3750W. This is a difficult question because it depends on the load and I rarely draw 100% load on the system. Lets just put it this way - I save about R1000 on my electric bill at 2.69 per unit. So the PV generate about 371kW per month.
Hi,you said you don't got any batteries, but I saw some battery voltage on your display screen. If you don't got any batteries, it should show 0V, 0 AMP, 0AH..
I agree with you but for some reason the inverter shows a little battery voltage and amps. So much has happened since I made this video that I should really make part 3 now. I also got my first battery for the system and it's made a massive difference. Thanks for watching!
No at that stage of the installation it was grid tied and everything switched off when the power went out. By now I have installed a battery and in the second video I show a bit on that and now the system stays on during load shedding.
@jacqalas But generally speaking, if one installed a sunsync inverter without a battery . Do the solar panels power the loads directly given that you have enough sunlight and enough panels ?
@jacqalas The reason I'm asking is because they say that this inverter can function as a off grid inverter. But what happens if I loose grid power and I don't have a battery . Will the inverter act as a OFF GRID inverter ?
