Thanks for your comments to date. As i'm not savvy with these things i'm not inclined to be touching the system to investigate. That said i'm sure someone else coming across this thread will find your contributions practical and useful. So here's the update I promised. It took a few weeks to...

UPDATE: The software balancing over 48hrs didn't work as a subsequent overnight charge showed that it was still only taking 5kw to fully charge to 100% Its interesting that Solax's solution (they got back to me within 24hrs) was to disconnect both batteries then reconnect individually and...

I didn't but the installer did it remotely. So sorry can't help with that,. He said the SOC would drop to 37% (which it has) whilst it rebalances and may take upto 48hrs to complete.... Its had 24hrs so far and is still at 37% so we'll see how it goes by tomorrow. Whilst its doing this the...

Aha Thanks Johnb2713 Obs you're a 'gold' member for a reason... (y) 👋 👋 That's exactly what the tech support have said as they got back today... They said something about putting the batteries into rebalance mode so we'll see what that does 🤜

👋 Hi Folks Here's What Happened? So I did a two hour evening charge on my hybrid car yesterday which put about 5KWs into the car. Now because the sun hid itself the power was drawn from my home Solax battery (two batteries total of 11wkh) The batteries were at 100% but had dropped to 17%...

Clever stuff there 'arwooldridge'... So for the not so technically minded... It is what it is... a tolerance issue that may one day be resolved by some tried n tested technical wizardry from those that are indeed very 'familiar' with that kinda territory :giggle:. (y)

My kit: 4Kw panels, Solax X1 5T Hybrid 5KW Inverter and 2 x Solax 5.6KW batteries. With an iBoost for heating hot water with excess energy. Generally working absolutely fine... Apps really useful, tho doesn't seem to show particularly accurate data.. tho i'm not too fussed about that. I'm...

I went with Solax in the end... 4Kw panels, Solax X1 5T Hybrid 5KW Inverter and 2 x Solax 5.6KW batteries. With an iBoost for heating hot water with excess energy. working absolutely fine... Apps really useful, tho doesn't seem to show particularly accurate data.. tho i'm not too fussed about...

lol thanks folks... will stick at it...(y)

I asked the salesperson about beefing up the inverter, and did my best to explain your comment... the response i got back was that the battery has an output of 5.2kw so it didn't matter 🤷‍♂️ its a hybrid converter if that makes a difference.. but then did say he would ask his tech team.. so...

I'm considering installation quotes for both options of a Giv-Energy and a Solax system.. Anyone have any useful info on either of them? Experience Welcome

Wow firstly thanks for the way you answer Johnb2713.. Really helpful and concise (y) Inverter size.. useful food for thought..:unsure: My EV Charger is a Sync EV, which contrary to what i'd thought does not work with solar the way the new Zappi V2 does.... ie no dynamic throttling... :LOL: as...

I'm new to solar and Battery stuff. and am considering having 4KW panels with a SolaX 5.8KW battery and a 3.6kw inverter One of the aims is to use the Octopus Go rate that i have to charge the battery overnight during winter. I also have a hybrid car that uses a smart charger drawing max...
