    GoSolr vs Solar

    In my oppinion it is better to own than rent, but that said, larger is better than smaller... Is it a perpetual rental agreement until the end of time or is it a rent to own? If rent to own after a set period, I would then rather rent to own the system in say 5 years time?

    306w load, 2 x 100ah batteries, only lasting 1 hour

    Oh I am so sorry... Let me correct myself, 12v 100ah battery must not be discharged deeper than 50%, if your system is a 12v system and you have two batteries then you actually only have 100ah available so without losses you have a maximum of 12v x 100ah = 1200va or 1.2 kva... If your system...

    Christopher is 100% correct... Let's start with your battery bank, 12v 100ah battery must not be discharged deeper than 50%, if your system is a 12v system and you have two batteries then you actually only have 100ah available so without losses you have a maximum of 12v x 100ah = 1200va or 1.2...

    Lux - power 5kw not charging or using batteries

    I have had it previously where some fly by night installers just connect to the generator port and set it up as a smart output to allow the batteries to carry the load... as soon as battery runs out there is no way to charge battery and system basically dies... I hope this is not the case...

    Looks like the installer connected to the generator input? Could your friend remove the bottom cover and take a picture of the internal connections?

    New solar panels or top up with trustworthy generator

    A perfect explanation... the only thing I would add is to reduce battery memory the batteries need to go through a full discharge-charge cycle (down to 10% and back up to 100%) at least once every 90 days, otherwise it ends up like your cellphone that doesn't hold charge anymore because you have...

    New solar panels or top up with trustworthy generator

    Having a backup system without solar panels means that you will be using eskom to charge the batteries if they are flat, so you will pay additionally after loadshedding to charge the batteries... alternatively charging from generator using fuel to charge also at an additional cost... With solar...
