    MTN Black Friday Discussions

    Got the Mobile internet gold - R149 deal with code: 2023031 CT 00009 this morning. On the DebiCheck Mandate an installment amount of R894 is mentioned. Where or how is this calculated? It does not seem right? Unless DebiCheck refers to the credit amount MTN is willing to extend to?

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    I monitored the Kwh usage from my prepaid box outside in the street yesterday. (Probs a bit old-school to measure there I suppose) I still use a give or take 2.92kwh during the night. Yet to lower my SoC on the batteries.

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    From what I can gather, I am sure I can cycle the shoto batteries slightly deeper to like 20% without reducing its lifespan that much.

    The Battery Thread (Solar / Inverter)

    Any builds or comments on my Deye 8Kva System Work Mode. I am worried about using way more Grid power to charge my batteries during the night than needed. These are the default settings the installer configured. I have 2 x 5.12kwh shoto batteries and 10 x 545W JA panels installed. During the...

    Tired of ESKOM - Guidance on a system please

    I'm correct in saying that I grid charge to the setpoint of the SoC right? Thus, only when the SoC drops below the setpoint, I charge via grid?

    Sheesh... Solar generation and optimisation is like an endless tunnel - one that you don't mind running into. Anyhows. I have the following System Work Mode on my Deye. I have installed the Sonoff POWR3 for my geyser (electric) with a schedule of Mon - Sun 15:00 to 18:00 on. (I think at 60degC)...

    Monthly Solar Production - Show us yours

    Yes, I make use of the exported excel from the solarmanapp under the inverter option. Closest parameter that gives me what I want is the DC Voltage (PV) (V).

    Monthly Solar Production - Show us yours

    Bit of a newbie question here. How can I see my actual production when batteries are full and little load drawn? I have 10 x 545W JA panels and would love to see that they behave as should. I was hoping to use the DC PV (1) and (2) in Volts times the theoretical maximum current that can be...

    With the Solarman app..(Still to get SolarAssist on the PI), any accurate parameter to indicate the power generation from the panels? From my understanding if I am not drawing any amps into the battery or usage of load, then the PV in (W) aren't accurate?

    Nice generation! How many panels did you get (450W JA right)? I might have misread where you posted it.

    I mistakenly and very convinced told them that the Main DB feeds both...(labeled outside building on main DB). Wife only picked it up later during load shedding when her laptops second screen switched off in the flat. Fortunately the installer let me know that they can pull in the extra cable...

    Tired of ESKOM - Guidance on a system please

    Word of caution or advice for future installations: Make sure you understand the sub distribution of your DBs. I was under the impression that both the DB in the flat and the garage gets fed from the main DB in the house. Now I sit with surplus PV and full batteries but with Eskom only feed to...

    My package details: MTN_Made_For_Me_XS-36 Months-ATPR10G-FANMR500-ATPR5GB-ITBL_SIM Only_BF That makes sense then. Probably, early upgrade few months prior.

    Might be one way of getting less BF holders, forcing a traditional contract on us when we have to upgrade after the 32 months then?

    Any indication of the above is for existing and non BF holders or existing only?
