    A update. Added two 80mm sqmm fans underneath the inverter heat sinks. Attached a sensor to the side of the heat sink which is controlled by a R72.00 temp controller. Fans set to switch on at 35 degrees C. Image taken this morning of the inverter temp going down after installing the temp...

    Thanks for the info. The 8kW inverter would have been the correct choice. I did a lot of research in the beginning, however I must admit that I overlooked the current limitations of the MPPT of the 5kW unit. My current task is to add a cooling fan to the inverter, as running at close to 13A...

With airless or for that matter any coating process the painter should use a wet film gauge. This will guide them to the...

    I think your installer is just been conservative. Yes, I am pushing the limits under ideal lab conditions. In hindsight the 8kw sunsynk would have been a better buy.

    Have read through all the posts and find them interesting with regards to the various installations. My system is DIY and everything was purchased via a well known electrical wholesaler. Installed a 5kw Sunsynk with two Hubble AM 10 batteries and 8 Canadian 605 watt panels. Currently the panels...

    Roof Painting

    Roof tiles are porous and if the volume solids of the paint are low the paint will be thinner an therefore penetrate the tiles. Hence, this will result in less coverage for a set coating thickness. The second coat then will give more coverage for the same coating thickness. As a comment 95% of...
