Morning Everyone, I'm looking for an additional Pylontech battery to add to my existing stack. If anyone is willing to sell at a reasonable price please let me know. Thanks in advance

So my friend has a north-facing wall that gets direct sun for most of the day. He also has a ching-chong UPS that is solar ready(freestanding and not connected to his home's DB) for use during load shedding. My friend would like to add a solar panel to his setup but living in the western cape...

Current use of system: Our inverter doesn't have the specified solar terminals (pic attached:) 2. So to get around this, we have 2 solar panels connected directly to the Solarwise 100ah/12v battery (not the inverter), each panel giving off 12v. (See pic attached: ) 3. The inverter...

Looking to install solar. Any recommendation for solar installers in the Johannesburg region. There are so many Solar Installers, most post positive reviews for installation by what really matter is the after service too when there are issues. So far have quotes from Solar Advice and...

Currently, I have a small inverter connected to the mains and powers all my important electricals, (alarm, cameras, gate, router, TV, etc ...), in case of a power failure, it lasts about 2 or 3 hours. Years ago, I spent a lot of time making sure that the wiring was all nice and clean. About...

So a relative of mine, a little over a year ago, bough a Kingstar 5KVA inveter from China mall. She got this alongside one of those 24V 100Ah batteries. This was hooked by a qualified electrician cousin of mine who isn't so much certified to do solar installations. A few months in the added...

Good day Any idea why these Longi 555W solar panels are so cheap? https://leroymerlin.co.za/longi-solar-panel-mono-555w-81482623

So it seems I also joined the cool kids club for once in my life :ROFL: Had my system installed by Smart Tech Solar just after the start of the month. Would definitely recommend them if you are planning to do a install soon. Now some pics before I start messing around with more trunking on...

Hi, This company seems to have good solar specials and good reviews on Google and Facebook. But almost to good on the review side. Has anyone dealt with this company before? Thank you in advance. Website https://www.itshomeelectrical.com/

Hi all, I've been a serial lurker of this forum for years, especially this last month or so since I decided to get my own solar installation done. Reason for posting this, well two reasons: @Snyper564 installation thread, and the Monthly Solar Production - Show us yours thread. I have read...

Most solar shops in my opinion are just guys that had the money and realised this is a good business opportunity Now yes they do encounter problems because they deal with this every day so they are learning and getting better But based on my experience of talking to people in these stores they...

article Hi Landlord, property investors, Lessors, please share your thoughts and experiences on installing solar panels on rental units/houses? I am considering upgrading freestanding units in Midrand, in a complex or estate currently with prepaid meters installed. My questions: Does this...

I had a solar geyser installed last winter - 20 evac tubes for a 200ltr geyser. The performance has not been great thus far - while it does work and can increase the geyser temp by 20-25 degrees in a day, it does mean that you still need to use A LOT of electricity. I spent some time monitoring...

I have quotes on a Deye, a Sunsynk and a Livoltek system. The costs are not very far apart so that is not a sway factor. I've heard Sunsync is the way to go, but we like to aesthetic look and feel of the Livoltek system. What advice does anyone have, especially the performance of the system...

Hi People of the interwebs, Has anyone purchased anything from collectivehub.co.za ? Just want to check if they are legitimate as I do try to do some due diligence before spending a large value online with someone I have never used before.

I normally don't go to the malls or shops that often so I'm not to sure if this has been a thing for sometime or its new. Was surprised to see checkers has EV stations. It says its powered by the sun and there was no cost anywhere, so I'm leaning towards you just being able to come plug in your...
