[QUOTE="Manimnalfloss, post: 552489, member: 37728"] Morning all 12x 260W panels Autarco MK3.6 inverter My current system was inherited with a house purchase in 2017 (installed in 2013) and has run flawlessly up until last month, The Autarco MK3.6Kw unit packed in and I found a dry joint on one of the 30A relays has cause a short to the casing, ive carried out some fault finding and testing and the unit is (IMHO) BER. Im taking this option to add a hybrid inverter into the system as a plan to upgrade the panels in the future and add a battery when budget will allow. Ive found GivEnergy inverters have been popular with friends and family and have looked into their products, as i plan to put in bigger panels in the future il looking at the 5kw hybrid units and found the following: Gen 1 5Kw unit £600 Gen 3 5Kw unit £1100 Does anyone have any experience on either of these models and is it really worth paying over double for the Gen 3? I see they are both now supplied with a 12y warranty [ATTACH type="full"]16357[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]16358[/ATTACH] Thanks Ross AKA The Manimalfloss [/QUOTE]
