This was published on 11 January 2019. This probably still holds, but the solar panels is now a different ball game

Have you seen the date of the article? This has nothing to do with the latest announcement. Yes, there are some tax deductions when installing solar systems, but the "Solar Tax Break" announcement on 22 Feb 2023 only refers to the purchase of solar panels...

Just a pity about the powerlines. They could just as well not have been there, since it was loadshedding...

Correction, the R15,000 or 25% (which ever comes first) is only on solar panels, solar installation, labour and other consumables and costs are excluded from this

Sunsynk's "Grid" section is not limited at all. It bypasses the inverter's circuitry, therefore if you have a 63A breaker in your DB, you can run the full >13kW. However, when it is loadshedding, you are limited to 5kW (max 10kW for 10 seconds) or 8kW (16kW max for 10 seconds) from battery...

I usually use subtitles when I'm on the treadmill or indoor bicycle. Sometimes the tv and qym equipment can have an audio battle, with neither of them winning

Just for interest sake, Sunsynk inverters' MPPTs are over-specked. The 5kw inverter does 6,500w (2x 3,250w) solar, the 8kw inverter does 10,400w (2x 5,400w). Then there are the 3 phase models... Over sizing of solar strings are also not a bad thing (volts MUST however be within limitations)...

You can read about my setup here. I hope this can help a bit. Oh, and my initial installation was below R150k

Thanks @Trompie67! I'm fortunate enough to live walking distance from Woodsman. So I see all the classics, super cars, bikes even as Vespa run a couple of weeks ago

Two photos of my wedding venue last Saturday in Sabie, Mpumalanga

This sounds a lot like Paleontology, especially regarding too dinosaur bones. If this bone looked this way, then the next would be looking like this, etc, etc and therefore a dinosaur looks like this... This is probably the best example (irrespective of what is written) Here are some more...

I've watched science fiction television series "Humans", and if this is anything to go by...

You can read my reply on another thread here Embarking on Solar Stuffs......

I installed a 5.5kw Sunsynk inverter with a 5kwh Sunsynk battery and 6x 545w Jenko panels and I'm as happy as a ping in mud... in Palestine! My geysers are converted to gas (stove hob is next on the list). Before the geysers I used >30 units per day, after geysers and ensuring that all lights...

Thank you guys! My common sense also kicked in, must be because it's not Monday morning anymore... If I'm going to make the same instalment (value), then the lower rate is going to be the obvious choice, since I'm not going to be limited to the duration

I've got a small inverter and solar installation (Sunsynk 5kw inverter, Sunsynk 5.32kWh battery and 3,270kw panels) and would like to double the battery and panels. Between this, my gas geyser, more efficient lighting ect and better usage habits, I've brought my Eskom power consumption down from...

I'm no expert, I'm just stating what I've seen over the last month on my own system. I've only got a 5kw inverter, 1x 5kwh battery and 6x 545w panels. If we don't have loadshedding from 5h00-7h30 mine discharges to 35%, if there is loadshedding it only goes to 50% (I change this manually...

I also now started in the power backup games about 2 months ago. I have a 5kw Sunsynk inverter and a 5kwh Sunsynk battery and it works extremely well. 3 reasons why I opted for the Sunsynk battery: - I guess there won't be better communication than between 2 Sunsynk products (so this one is...

I installed a 5kw SunSynk inverter and 1x 5kw SunSynk battery 2 months ago and I've had zero issues. I've just added 6x 545 panels and it is awesome! 2 things to keep in mind, you will need to make some lifestyle changes in how you use electricity, especially during loadshedding. Secondly...

I've also ordered from them a couple of times. No issues, except that their shipping is not the fastest...
