As always, a nice review Andrew. A follow up review on the inverter features when new standards kick in allowing 1000v would be great, plus an example install video!
Had 24kw battery(3x8) with a 6kw inverter installed 3 weeks ago, brilliant looking , works well and very quick and easy to install as well as having a small footprint
I'm envious. We are still waiting for our electricity retailer Synergy to sign off on the 5kW 1ph model for ESM (shutdowns). I would love to see some pics of your install if you wish to email them to andrew@solar4ever.com.au ?
Nice Vid. Andrew & Interesting 'New Guy ' (albeit with providence) in town! Good features too with parallel batteries, UPS & AI! :) Now we just need to see the $ and their level of local service & support? :/
Pricing is pretty competitive with the usual suspects...Sungrow, iStore/Huawei etc Parallel batteries, which iStore have as well, really is the best way to go. Cell balancing is important and it's so much harder to do it with series connected batteries. There's been plenty of training provided by Sigenergy plus installer accreditation courses so it bodes well. Their support is local not overseas but of course, not sure how good it will be or whether it will fully cover our 3 hours time difference from the East coast of Australia. We shall have to wait and see.
Yes. however you have to consider whether a larger battery like 20kWh will get enough charge from a 5kW single phase solar install, especially over the winter months. Of course, with Time of Use tariffs like Midday Saver from Synergy you can supplement solar charging with off-peak grid battery charging.
@solar4ever843 that was my thought but I don't think there is any way around it in WA with 5kw inverter limit, why can't bigger inverter with export turned off be used

My bad. You already made videos on both of these 😅

So a 20kw batteries on a single phase inverter is possible ?

Your website is down
Yes, had an issue with the hosting company server but they fixed it, so all good now. Thanks
