"It means to replace the inverter." Not true. Most batteries systems will work just fine with your existing panel's inverter. They augment…

Yes to both. Install performed 19th Jan, I asked for the final invoice (with rubbish disposal discount) on 24th Jan. They sent it on 2nd…

Batteries to combiner box look like 6mm2 (on my install, 3Ø 12kW). I will check them properly tomorrow.

Excellent point. The datasheet: https://solplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Ai-HB-G2.pdf says 10.75kW max discharging power for the 7…

And, after looking on whirlpool: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/96yyz27x?p=19 the Battery might be the limit :( In the app, go…

I thought of an option 5. 5) The installer forgot it was a three phase machine, and set the export limit to 10kW total :( I don't know…

Good question. Maybe every purchase is a slight gamble? Why do people pay $100k for a supercar that is, TECHNICALLY, in perfect conditions,…

Same install, highest to date is 10.77kW yesterday morning. Possible explainations: 1) Inverter or batteries got too hot, hardware limits…

1) Yes, probably because Sales wants the deposit and signed commitment. I guess having someone technical, evaluate the site, costs them…

Timeline: 27 Nov, deposit 28/11–1/12, email, phone calls, contract to sign. It says "installation shall be scheduled within 3 months time…

The fronius app shows bad stats? What changed?

Two cordless drills, but it looks like all the drivers are different? P.S. Yelling can be therapeutic sometimes! Especially when you drop a…

As far as I can tell, the meter is only single phase:…

I think OP is just a customer like you or me. He paid $5K three weeks ago. Doubt he works for VoltX

those are InfamousCalf's existing solar inverters. VoltX would have charged extra to decommission those, and DC couple the existing solar…

Again, that link is NOT for a battery/hybrid inverter. OP is only providing the info he knows. VoltX is probably VERY busy ordering 18…

There might be another thousand customers in the queue before you, and Christmas holidays are nearly here. For a price this cheap, I'm…

Good prices, but those are NOT battery/hybrid inverters, They are just solar to grid AC, so have about 40% of the circuitry that the OP's…

"white wall bracket holder" ??? Do you mean the trunking? (which is like this:…

I am not an inverter designer, but I can give some suggestions why 3Ø is much more expensive: 1) A 3Ø inverter has 3 output circuits.…

If this installer can provide double the power for $100, it sounds like he has a bunch of old inverters that he wasn't able to install…

1) Your existing 13kW is connected to an inverter, which connects to the grid. If you got the 5kW system, that means it would charge its…

You don't have to use the PV inputs on a new (battery) inverter. (and having them there gives you extra flexibility. if one of your AC…

You pay a sparky to put in the change paperwork, and if approved, to come and rewire your HWS circuit with a mid-day timer. (or you skip…

"And if you have solar panels you wont!" Huh? Why do you think that? From the article: "available to all houses and apartments, with and…

Yes, but LED lights should last a lot longer than the flouro oyster lights you have at the moment, and hopefully a known brand like Philips…
