    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    @Speedster, do you know if it's now actually clipped to 20A+20A? I've read somewhere (can't recall where right now - could be powerforum), but someone said that Deye actually dropped it to 20A because they claimed for safety reasons Edit: Found where I saw it ->...

    Snyper's Solar Farm

    @Speedster, which optimisers did you end up getting? And from where?

    Correct, that's why I'm planning to move it :)

    Spoke to a plumber today, he said it's cheaper to maintain a conventional geyser than a heatpump, so he recommends just sticking to my current solar geyser and just using it as a conventional geyser powered by the panels. He does make sense to be honest.

    @itareanlnotani, yup, that would be the plan, raise the panels to be in line with or very close to the parapet walls. Now I'm definitely considering replacing the solar geyser with conventional geyser. It's just making more and more sense as I think about it. I currently have a 250l geyser...

    I'll check the calcs thanks for the insight. I did some research into maybe getting 2 x 150l geysers connected in series where the one (temp set to something low like 40/45) feeds the other (temp set to 55/60) and probably run them on timers during the day. Or I could just get someone to move...

    I was waiting for that one :) It's an option I'm considering yes ;)

    Thanks for the suggestion @TedLasso, will take a look at that. So even if I raise it as much as it can be raised to overcome the parapet walls, I think the Solar Geyser on the right will still have an impact. Based on my calculations, the idea is to maybe get 14 x 540W panels with a Deye 8KW...

    Hi everyone, investigating the idea of placing Solar Panels on my flat roof using 30-35 degree frames (Joburg area). I have a solar geyser and parapet walls and at around 3pm in Winter the Geyser will cover the section where I'm thinking is the best place for panels. I can't get away from this...

    I noticed something weird in last month's smart spend. I bought something on CC on 27 Feb and it definitely the next day yet it was still included in February's smart spend. Anyone else noticed something similar for February's Smart Spend?
