What drove you to choose your inverter?

[PaulMurkin]

Sunsynk also has a 3.6 kW and 5 kW fan less design

Some of us are not rich or have lots of money lying around

 

[My_King]

Manually drove myself using a Ford Bantum 1.8 XLS. Still have my inverter.

There’s a lot of factors that are important when buying an inverter

- Did you do research about the product? Plenty. And received lots of crazy quotes from "experts" that raised more questions than answers.
- Was your decision influenced by an expert or a recommendation by a friend? Yes, Steve, Powerforumstore, he was a breath of fresh air. The Powerforum was also a great source of knowledge.
- Are you satisfied with your purchase? Yes, very happy with Sunsynk
- Would you have chosen differently? No, will do exactly the same, but this time go for Hubble batteries vs Pylontech

Nope

- Are you satisfied with your purchase?

Yup. Does the job and didn’t break the bank too badly

- Would you have chosen differently?

More battery units incoming soon, otherwise nope

Its a good way to wake you up in the morning

Sunsynk Yellow better than Victron Blue
Edit: I guess that you are not using Dark Mode :-(

Have you seen the Kodak inverters? the case alone can light up the room

The excellent advice received from Steve at www.powerforum.co.za.

I can highly recommend them for advice and supply of quality solar solutions with great support and backup.

Not to mention the amazing contributions from the forum and especially @RonSwanson

 

[ebendl]

I have a Victron.

- Did you do research about the product?
>> Yes, in particular, the Modbus support and that I could easily access the data from it from something like Home Assistant.

- Was your decision influenced by an expert or a recommendation by a friend?
>> Yes, family. My dad already had Victron inverters.

- Are you satisfied with your purchase?
>> Yes

- Would you have chosen differently?
>> Yes, possibly just a Multiple II instead of a 1.

@Weable Technology - a friendly heads-up: the idea is for dealers to register as dealers with MyBB. You seem to be using the forum for commercial market research, so it may be a good idea to register before a mod gives you grief.

Re the question: I chose a Victron as the power mixing is done on the AC side, not on the DC side. Essentially, the inverter is a 4 kW inverter, and if the load is 10 kW, it will take 4 kW from panels/battery and 6 kW from Eskom. The pass-through capability of the Victron is very sweet. That said, it was some time ago, so I've gotten behind on what is currently available in the market.

Eek the dark mode is hectic.

For you guys using power trolley inverters, have any of you placed an earth leakage circuit breaker in between the output of the trolley and your load? It occurred to me the other day when I was looking at all my extension cables connected to my power trolley that there is absolutely no earth leakage protection if someone should accidentally shock themselves with anything plugged into the inverter. Sure, there is an earth connection that connects to your home's earth system via the AC charging cable, but without an earth leakage circuit breaker to actually cut the power it means nothing.

If you want to be successful with your sneaky survey, then offer us money.

We are just trying to engage with the local community on my broadband to understand what this community is about. I'm quite new here
But to answer you on the moola, we are planning to do a survey later on which might be some bucks or maybe an inverter for someone that needs one or perhaps a flashy Azio headset that we gave away a week back or maybe An Azio Keyboard the next time, But we will be in touch with the MyBB Admins to get
something set up.

Seemingly sometimes this seems to be the cheaper way to travel seeing the cost of petrol which is another headache.

 

[Weable Technology]

I asked the engineers here on MyBB..

Awesome, I see there is quite a number of knowledgeable folks out here like @RonSwanson , @wingnut771 , @Snyper564 , @AchmatK .

What drove me?​

My Mitsubishi.

Ahhh thought it was a GWM P series Bakkie with the tiny 120w inverter built-in. That Bakkie is next level.

 

[Weable Technology]

Noise issues.. my wife does not like the noise.
However with Stage 4 batteries don't get enough time to charge.
We're getting the generator...

I wasn't driven to get standby power. I had no choice, I had to earn an income.
Check your choice of words next time, its kind of irritating

You were driven by the need to earn an income But will keep you in mind with my wording the next time.

My wife sent me the invoice for the order she had just placed Admittedly, she had spoken to her father, uncle, cousin and a few others who are all electrical engineers involved in medium to heavy current electrical engineering. I would have gone for a larger inverter, 5kVa at least versus the 3kVa she bought, and I would have tried to stretch the budget for LFP batteries instead of the LA's she bought.

God has Spoken.
