[@lukeleogabriel4947]

This was one of the most informative videos I've ever seen on what an inverter actually does, thank you very much

[@vokkof]

one of the much better presented sunsynk videos, sound is good, presentation excellent with out chit chat and voice-ego-mongering - Clear voice, to the point, speed excellent, unlike "the guy" from other sunsynk videos, liewe vaderland!!

Hello very nice video I have a question with was not answered. Are this inverter can provide power for critical load’s from solar and battery in the same time. This is nice ability when sun power is not providing enough power so inverter can top op the rest from the batteries. Regards Marek

[@rsabardoelectrical]

Thank you, well put together

[@rudetoy8264]

Good presentation! Your animation shows the inverter AC output and Grid connect to distribution panel for powering the loads. The Grid should connects to your inverter, as your distribution panel doesn’t have intelligence to select if it power will be come from inverter/PV or Grid. Your Sun Synk Hybrid inverter should able to make decision on how to power the loads whether the power will come from PV, Grid, or Generator.

[@silvertongue3003]

What works out even cheaper than gas stove is to go for induction, I have a Bosch 4 place induction top and can use all 4 without my inverter having any trouble with them. Just get a magnetic base plate and you can use any pots with the induction top, it boils a full kettle of water in about 1min 40sec which is less than half the time gas or electric kettle could

Fantastic Video well done not many videos out there that give such a great explanation to newbie customers

[@MjmWab]

Great video clear explanation but what happens when there is no batteries and your grid is down will critical load still function from Solar

[@zoxwolf2133]

Yes it will. It is designed to work as off grid, on grid and in UPS mode.

[@Bsukhdips]

What is the average life of the inverter?

[@michaelterreblanche5701]

Can you tell me if I can connect a grid tie inverter to the load side of the Sunsynk, as this is a duel direction inverter that should not be a problem. What is the view on this.

[@justinlufasi732]

All thanks tp you sir. I have cleared a number of confusion points

[@tonypower5625]

Do you know if this inverter will be issued for the USA market??Thanks

[@vaza57]

[@dinesh031NLW]

Great Video. Please do more very informative.

[@Xxxcappie23]

Good video just to confirm with you : that CT you install on the Main Incoming Live wire entering the property of a D.B ?

[@tirivaenim]

Yes, this ensures complete anti-islanding, otherwise anywhere else you may have connections that are bridging or on bypass.

[@zoxwolf2133]

CT is ensuring that you can utilize zero export function if your country does not allow energy injection into the grid. Anti islanding protection is incorporated in design of inverter.

[@andrevdberg1108]

You get the inverter in 3 phase too. 12kw and a 10kw

[@andrevdberg1108]

It is also parrallelable throughout the product range

[@vickipps6821]

Please and you give me some advice of the best quality solar panels & size to yse in South Africa that are available thanks

[@vickipps6821]

Thank you it's a great product I always tell people that when installing you need surge protection before and after the inverter and its equipment, I did read this some where just want to know is theis correct. I am doing a type of ups set up just for the time being, thanks

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Nice work

[@masies6202]

Want to ask. What does the sunsynk inverter do on a sunny day when there is excessive sunlight and we are on holiday. Remember in east london eastern cape we are not allowed to feed back into grid. My installer told me i must put 10 panels of 550watts.is that not too much? I have a 5kw inverter. With 7kw BSL battery

[@cosmaskwalira-phiri4710]

The inverter will slow down the solar generation once your batteries are fully charged and your electricity demand is low.

[@zoxwolf2133]

You use CT on grid live so u can deploy zero export function to load and no ecsess power coz it is clipped at pv input!

[@michaelnuttall5896]

The inverter will dump the charge safely, most inverters will. Important question and concept, more solar has alot of current technology and has been around abit but wind and hydro systems done diy need to take that into account. Dumping charge is important.

[@willdatsun]

getting rid of electric kettle is stupid advice as those things are only on for about 3 minutes, and if you are doing it in daylight, its free

[@christobth]

HAD MY 5KW SYSTEM INSTALLED RECENTLY, ONLY 6 PANELS FOR NOW, WORKS GREAT, LOAD SHEDDING IS IN THE PAST FOR ME, VERY HAPPY, WILL ADD 6 MORE PANELS EARLY NEXT YEAR

[@bootangy]

why cant non crit load be supplied in a grid down if you got a big solar array?

[@jonno081]

Would also like to know that...

[@zoxwolf2133]

This inverter can work as pure off grid so i think it is doable. I am still in proces of building construction for panel mounting but when i get to the step of connecting it will call a technician to help.

[@bootangy]

@@zoxwolf2133 cool

[@williamlebotschy2729]

LPG per BTU , is more expensive than electricity. It’s only benefit , is it does not rely on electricity. Bear that in mind.

[@gjsxnobody7534]

ok, I'm getting this stuff, it's making a lot of sense. my question is, is there a limit to the GRID power throughput at all? Is this something I need to be worried about? For example, If I have an original Main Circuit breaker, that has a main circuit breaker of 250amp, and if I use an average of 40kwh a day, do I have to worry about the amount flowing through? Is it correct to say that the 3kw, 5kw, 12kw inverters are purely about the PV size? and not the amount on Grid AC that is moving through them? I guess I've given myself a mental block and fearful of buying a small inverter, when my house uses a lot of energy from the grid every day. I hope I'm asking this question correctly. FYI, I only have 3kw of solar, and I bought a 5kw inverter. I know it's not enough to power the house, I'm just augmenting it. I'm just concerned that the Inverter will have issue with the Grid throughput. or am i worrying about nothing?

[@Allaboutmacpc]

I am unsure what you mean by amount flowing through? A 5 kW inverter can deliver 5 kW of power, i.e you can load it with 5 kW at any one time or it can produce 5 kW at any one time. 40 kWh is a measure of energy, not power. A 5 kWh inverter can easily deliver 40 kWh of energy throughout the day assuming you have enough solar to support that. In theory, assuming you can supply the inverter with energy for the whole day a 5 kW inverter can supply 5 kW * 24 Hours = 120 kWh of energy during the day. Hope this helps!

[@michaelnuttall5896]

@@Allaboutmacpc I think he was meaning peak usage at any point in time. Hypothetically if you had a peak usage multiple times per day of over 5kW then no a 5kW inverter would not work, you could ammend with load relay switches from what I understand but Imagine your peak usage spiked to 12kW, how many load relay switches do you really want. Just get a 16 kW inverter and forget about it.

[@colin109]

I think you mean pass through current which is double 2x as per datasheet so a 8KW 1PH will allow 70A Pass through more than that inverter will trip.

[@derickkruger5680]

That is exactly my concern and my understanding is that you are limited to the kw/h of the inverter i.e. if your essentials draw 10kwh, the 5kwh inverter wont work. Please let me know if im wrong. Now, lets jump to 3 phase inverters.... seems to be much more confusion around the pv input, batt charging etc etc.

[@ycmgxekwa]

My 10kW inverter runs two 3.5kW geysers each, pool pump, heck all home appliances with 15kWh batteries and 8000W panels. As long as the sun is available the system is off grid.

[@bri1085]

How much did that cost to install?

[@leonfroos]

What is a solar installer?

[@tirivaenim]

Is there a way of putting a bypass switch so that in the event my Sunsynk inverter packs up, I can just switch it off and I go back to being grid-tied only, without having to call a technician?

[@willdatsun]

it should do that anyway as it is in parallel

[@tirivaenim]

@@willdatsun …for non essential items yes, what about items on the “critical loads” side?

[@DanBurgaud]

It is popular, but not easily available. D### is what I mostly find sold. ps. I was told SunSynk has the better UI than the other one.

[@bootangy]

can sunsynk provide power in a prolonged grid down scenario?

[@zoxwolf2133]

Yes. It can work purely as off-grid plant.

[@tunsteadmoor]

A lot of advice is irrelevant though about splitting items into crit and non crit . Most people would also have moved to a cheap EV rate at night so dishwasher, geyser or electric water systems will be running at very low price bands anyway from the grid at night.

A sunsynk inverter is something you dont buy as it generates excessive RF interference.

Problem. Electric kettle MUCH more efficient than a gas kettle.

[@BidvestRenewableSolutions]

Please explain????

[@keithduffield5239]

@@BidvestRenewableSolutions All the energy, well close to 99.9% of the energy goes into the kettle and it's contents. With gas up to 70% of the energy can escape into the atmosphere, especially with an incorrectly sized and poorly shaped container. That's from an efficiency point of view. From a cost point of view it depends what your local costs are for electricity and gas. BTW - I am a qualified Energy Efficiency Management Consultant.

[@BidvestRenewableSolutions]

@@keithduffield5239 Ok then, the issue the cost of running the kettle on a solar system with batteries vs gas. I still don't see where the "problem" is....

Yeah I still use my kettle during load shedding.. And when during sunshine. Gas takes longer to boil water than the kettle.

@@BidvestRenewableSolutions The "problem" is methane extraction and burning, resulting in carbon emissions that you could eliminate if you simply added more solar, instead of advising people to get rid of their electric appliances for fossil fuel ones.

Why go for a gas range when you can get an induction cooker that's ~90% efficient, and has even better temperature control than a gas equivalent? Nevermind the crappy electric range, those things suck.

[@jamesleetrigg]

Really bad idea to heat water on a gas stove very very inefficient and bad for the environment

[@benjaminnead8557]

Terrible advice here regarding the fossil fuel gas appliances. If we're going to be serious about mitigating the worst effects of climate change in the coming decade, we need to get rid of methane being pumped into our homes, not insist on more of it. Replace the resistance element electric stovetop with an induction one. Upgrade hot water heaters and HVAC units with electric heat pump technology. Drive and EV and dump the gasoline one. Electrify everything. Solar PV is cheap and batteries are only getting cheaper.
