Sunsynk Inverter-Battery Combo Warranty

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL

Cheap and nasty may be a tempting solution for many but there are pitfalls to look out for:

  • What is the warranty on your equipment?
  • When it breaks who is going to fix it, is there local support?
  • Can the inverter physically run what you have connected to it?
  • Are the batteries you are buying properly designed for your inverter?
  • Have you looked at how to optimise your essential load items?
  • Lead Acid, AGM or Lithium-Ion? long term it’s a no-brainer.

So now that you have the seed or doubt properly thriving in the back of your mind, look at some very simple checks and balances.

  • What really needs to be on when you have a grid power outage?
  • How long does it need to be on for?
  • Make a list of each item’s power requirement (most will have a label underneath or on the back (Kettle = about 2000w) Led lights about 8 to 20W each, 10 lights = 200W, you get the drift.
  • How many years of good service do I expect to get out of the system?
  • Is it expandable? can I add batteries, solar or more inverters later?
  • Can the system be remotely monitored?

The best way to get a handle on this is to understand the basics, the rest will come.
The inverter should always and especially during periods when there is no load-shedding, be able to run all the devices, plugs, lights etc that you planned to.  So don’t expect to put in a 5000W inverter and run 8000W of fridges geysers etc of that little inverter. Then understanding just how much power every electrical item in the building uses is a very strong position to be in as you’ll know what can and can’t be run during load-shedding as well as how long your system will stay up for when the mains go down.

So now when the next “Solar guy” comes along with a “My system keeps the light on” solution, you’ll be better informed as to:

  • Inverter size = how much stuff can run at the same time.
  • Battery bank size = how long all your stuff can run.

Saying well I have a small house with only two people or we have a large house with 4 adults does not quickly answer the question as to what to buy, I have seen two people in a house in a well-off area use more power in an hour than two families of 4 in the same area.

There just isn’t a one-size-fits-all, it needs to be looked at on an individual basis, you’ll get away with a 5KW system to keep the LED TV and Internet router some lights and minor plug points going for a couple of hours.
