Re: Balcony solar PV

I see Solax have added a microinverter into the UK market too. Very reasonably priced too. About the same as the price I managed to import one from Ebay Germany, but I'd much rather buy here in the UK. https://theecosupermarket.co.uk/product/solax-x1-micro-1000w https://www.solaxpower.com/products/...

Re: Balcony solar PV

That's No1 son system passed its 1year milestone. It has performed flawlessly. A touch under 600kWh generation. https://i.postimg.cc/yJMcLcck/Screenshot-20241017-114549-S-Miles-Installer.jpg I have no idea which cost per kWh figure to use so I'll settle on 26p. That's £153 in year 1. 8-) That's goo...

Re: Sunsynk parallel connection - half on grid half off grid - possible?

Hi Richbee.

I guess that's a good option, I just wanted to see what my microinverter panels were producing.

That would free up the aux/generator port, but I wouldn't be able to run a dirty generator without turning off the grid if my understanding is correct. Is the aux port not grid tied?

Tinbum - I shall have a look through that forum link, but on first glance it seems to be well outside of my technical abilities! :lol:

Re: Sunsynk parallel connection - half on grid half off grid - possible?

So would I need canbus cables between the inverters? Or just from each inverter to the master battery?

As my generator is only 3kw, I was hoping to get a smaller sunsynk 3.6 even though it's not the same as my current. 5kw

Re: Sunsynk parallel connection - half on grid half off grid - possible?

Tinbum - that's a very valid point. Would the BMS not limit the charge though? I guess in the event of wanting to use the generator I could make sure the grid tied charge was turned off. It also begs the question if the grid tied inverter could still use the batteries whilst the off grid side charge...

Re: Balcony solar PV

Does anyone on here have a Sunsynk 5kw hybrid inverter? I've got a Deye microinverter that I'd like to feed into my setup with some power (1.5kw) from a new shed. This will be on top of the DC produced into the string inverter from the PV. Can this go into the aux/generator port and just add to the...

Sunsynk parallel connection - half on grid half off grid - possible?

Hi, I'm looking to setup a half on grid, half off grid parallel hybrid inverter to charge the batteries from a 3kw generator. I might also use some of the additional MPPT gained by the second inverter in the future, but only for battery top up. Picture of planned setup.... https://i.postimg.cc/PLZK7...

Re: Balcony solar PV

Thanks resybaby. I'm actually looking to export all of the microinverter production, but I'm glad that it's actually possible to connect them in the first place to the AUX port rather than having them on a seperate circuit.
