70k for 32kWh vs 80k for 20kWh?Everywhere I look the batteries are upwards of R35k each, so even at 35k each thats 70k just for the batteries

Any battery should work imho.I was told either Sunsync or Eecovance will only work.
I already have 1 x 10kw Sunsync so have to go for the 10kw battries, as I understand it, you cant mix and match the sizes70k for 32kWh vs 80k for 20kWh?
You can mix sizes. All that happens is the bigger battery takes more of the load but evens out at the end.I already have 1 x 10kw Sunsync so have to go for the 10kw battries, as I understand it, you cant mix and match the sizes
There’s also a new device called an iBMS which is a little board that converts comms to whatever protocol battery and inverter needs so you can also mix brands and bms’ now.
My installer spoke to the agnets and they said its risky, and mixing makes and sizes is dangerous - so I dont know who to believeMy friends are thinking of adding another 16kWh sunsynk that they paid R80k for:

Will we be the first mixing sunsynk and deye batteries?
Sunsynk is made by Deye so I don’t see it as mixing brands. Mixing different sizes is also fine. I’ll look for a video that demonstrates this by paralleling a tiny battery with a giant battery. Nothing blows up, everything works automatically.My installer spoke to the agnets and they said its risky, and mixing makes and sizes is dangerous - so I dont know who to believe
Getting 5x of those batts for my new solar install. Okes started mounting rails on the roof yesterday. Will hopefully be commissioning at the end of the week.My friends are thinking of adding another 16kWh sunsynk that they paid R80k for:

5x16=80kWh. How many solar panels are you using?Getting 5x of those batts for my new solar install. Okes started mounting rails on the roof yesterday. Will hopefully be commissioning at the end of the week.
Yeah, those guys dont know what they are talking about. If all 16 cell its fine, different brands and capacity doesnt matter as @wingnut771 says. Just run in voltage mode if comms is an issue.My installer spoke to the agnets and they said its risky, and mixing makes and sizes is dangerous - so I dont know who to believe
Or get the iBMS board if comms are important to you. The only benefit of comms is seeing battery soc% which is often incorrect anyway.Yeah, those guys dont know what they are talking about.

44x 615w bifacial Jinko's on a 20kw 3ph LV Deye inverter.5x16=80kWh. How many solar panels are you using?
I was pushing 200A yesterday (10kW) on a 16kWh sunsynk battery. BMS says 300A max on the screen but only have 200A breaker.I think the Sunsynk batteries can only push out a maximum of :
15kw battery = 7kw
10kw battery = 5kw
keep that in mind...
