Totally understand that. But these are the exact same panels the companies are buying!! Same brand, even the same supplier

@@sun-sea-solar totally agree they will probably be absolutely fine. Just ask them to warantee their part of the instal. Any installer worth their salt would do that.

@@PaulRansonArt appreciate the comments. Had a few interesting opinions already. Nice to read comments from both sides

@@martprice7726 thanks for the comments. It is a big difference in price. So far no one has taken the job.

It has opened up a can of worms with all the companies I've contacted. MCS CERTIFIED is not even a legal requirement. But it is needed for a feed in tariffs 😭

@@abdulmalikyakubu3045 unfortunately I'm not getting very far. Most of the companies are saying a point blank no.

@sun-sea-solar you might just end up having to DIY the whole thing if you have the time, and I thought it was expensive in my country🤦‍♂️

@@abdulmalikyakubu3045 extremely high mark up on equipment unless you know where to look 😉

@@sun-sea-solar well I hope you can find a better deal or at least you are able to get a company not trying to legally rob you

Just have to wait and see. Could be interesting journey

Even if the large number was the surge or peak it's still not going to hit anywhere near that. Considering I've built a successful 48v 20kwh off-grid system. Calling me a fool is a bit strong. Yes it false advertising. If he doesn't even hit the minimum output then it's false advertising plan and simple. They all do it.

@@BobStone-s7s so far it's been ok.

I have an earth rod on my panels. But these high frequency inverters are a nightmare for static

Are you in the UK? You fully understand if you alter your consumer unit in any way your home insurance is void

@ hi yes I am however going to get an electrician in for the final connections,I have sent you a message on your other video we spoke yesterday

@stevenfry7417 I saw all the messages. Just a bit worried about showing people how to connect these to a consumer unit. I'm not a qualified electrician and I don't want to have come back if you fry your house or worse

@@sun-sea-solar it’s all good if anything happens I’m to blame lol

I'll try and sort it tomorrow. But it's actually pretty simple. Just need take your time. You need a 63amp AC isolation switch and garage consumer unit both from screw fix or Amazon

The savings already since the 4th December has been nothing short of amazing. Simple idea charge battery on cheap rate use that during the day. But I think their standing charge of 43p is a game changer for a lot of people

Sounds like you had a nightmare. Was lucky down here, couple of broken fence panels and snapped a bracket holding down a solar panel. But I would of preferred to be totally self sufficient.

@@stevenfry7417 ct clamp? The way I charge my batteries at night is with a smart plug

@@sun-sea-solar can you please do me a quick video of how you have set this up and equipment used

I'll try tomorrow

@@sun-sea-solar thank you so much

Hi any chance of that video please 😅

@@johnnoden9435 I'm a real advocate for anything outside of normal way of thinking 👍👍 sounds like a cheaper alternative

😂😂 never managed to get through to anyway British, all the call centres were in India. Horrendous experience. If anything British gas should be paying us to go with them. Thanks for your comments, hopefully others will look elsewhere for their electric

I'll try to work on that. On a different note very happy with the inverter and still working well

So far, so far good

@@nataliedeen1995 you will struggle. Anything over 1000watts is a lot for this

Mine packed up after the first 10 panels.

Get a solid charge with no sun 👍

I'll check it out

Unfortunately that was the exact problem I had with my consumer unit. Wasn't much I could do in the end. You could run it as a separate off-grid unit.

Mine broke about 2 weeks after filming this

@@AnonymousAnonymous-tb2dd unfortunately this model is really old now. This review was done a long time ago

I did a long video about these. Also in the process of editing a stripped teardown video.

ruclips.net/video/VpiRzr2Hc7Y/видео.html

I did a complete teardown and stripped it to its raw cells. CATL cells which are as good as EVE cells great quality. I've also added Bluetooth sensors to mine

@@pawelkraska5586 I really appreciate that. Keep plugging away

The edecoa was difficult. Kept tripping rcd and consumer unit. In the end I changed to anenji

@JimHanner apologies I've only recently noticed that. Because I only ever watch the videos back on my phone. I think if don't improve the audio and video quality I'm unlikely to get more subscribers. But I appreciate the advice. I also have an Anenji inverter in my camper van. What size is it?

@@sun-sea-solar Thanks for taking the comments well. I''m interested in what you're saying - there aren't many other channels looking into all-in-ones on here. I got a 2kW output Anenji. I need less than half that - just enough to run my Starlink and chargers on the days I don't get power from the festival sites I'm working on. I'm going to put 800W of solar on the roof and put a 280ah battery in. Then convert the caravan's electrical system to go with it. Fingers crossed!

@JimHanner you didn't mention if it's the 12v or 24v version. Check the DC input for your Anenji. Most are between 60v and 500v and to be honest 60v just won't be enough. 4 x 200w panels all in series at a guest would give you around 100v VOC but a good way to get around this is use a separate MPPT victron or renogy. That's how I run it in my camper van.

@JimHanner I'll look into some better formatting. I think 9:16 is full screen for computers I could be wrong. Need a better phone for videos 😂

@@sun-sea-solar Sorry - it's a 12v to easily hook up to the existing caravan bits. I didn't fancy completely rewiring it!

Very good so far. Part 2 will be the dc testing

You can't really see from this angle but the fridge is actually off the back wall so there is big gap next to the filters. Trust me it's not blocked 👍 but thank you for pointing it out because I've seen loads that are blocked

I did move the consumer unit because it was too close to the filters

@@sun-sea-solar in that case, that's good to know! I tried to follow the 50cm guideline in the manual, but I'm gonna rearrange my busbar and breakers so it looks better 🤣

@MsLemons12 unfortunately I am annoyed by the space I have to work with. I did move things around. All my breakers and isolator are in a unit under the inverters. But it could definitely do with being spread out a bit more. What is your current system?

Unfortunately I can only comment on the 6200watt version and it's been excellent. The main issue is different badges on the same product. It's only when you open them that you know if you're getting an Anenji or an easun

@@sun-sea-solar , you are totally right, these devices must necessarily be open. thanks for the quick response!

@JiffyHand personally, I would recommend anenji. That is an upgrade from edecoa and easun. To get the requirements for these inverters you would probably need over 100 volts open circuit coming in from your panels. I choose to run them in 240v because some under heavy loads you may get a low mains voltage disconnect. Because the voltage dropped to 226-228v obviously at 240v if it drops a bit the appliances still seem fine

@@sun-sea-solar Thank you for your response. At present, I have a system consisting of 12 100-watt solar panels and 4 AGM batteries. If I make some modifications to the panels and batteries, do you think it would be sufficient to power electrical drills and perhaps a microwave, or would I need to start from scratch?😄👍

@JiffyHand that really depends where you live. Check the VOC of the 12v panels. Put I suspect the voc is around 18v. So you would need at least 5 to 6 panels in series. Just the switch on the inverter. Unfortunately I would say easier to start again. I've experimented with 12v , 24v and 48v Unfortunately progressing up through the voltage does make it harder and expensive

@@sun-sea-solar am not especially keen on spending any further on what I already have, as I do not genuinely intend to power the entire house with solar energy, merely my workshop. At present, I have two charge controllers linked to the battery bank; they are Renogy Rover Li 40 Amp MPPT 12v-24v Solar Charge Controllers. I am considering upgrading to lithium batteries and connecting them to the solar panels in series. I would need a standalone 24-volt inverter just to operate drills, a grinder, and a microwave for quick meals. Do you foresee any issues with this setup? Thank you.

@JiffyHand using a separate mppt is good idea. The renogy is a great option automatically recognising 12v and 24v . But here in the UK that system wouldn't be a enough to run a household. I have 5500 watts of solar and it doesn't make a dent in the winter

@@Tonicwine999 rather tasty

@ tasty when cooked by Marco Pierre White or Pierre Koffman

@Tonicwine999 yeah they make anything look delicious

Unfortunately edecoa inverters are very much the bottom of budget side of inverters. I wouldn't personally recommend one

@@godisnowhere4u haven't quite got the confidence to send anything back to the grid. So I keep everything totally separated with a manual transfer switch.

@@gug1970 I've had one of those. These allows me to record how many watts, and kwh hours I'm putting into the battery every night. Obviously the timer ones are cheaper but these are so easy to setup its hardly worth the extra effort using the old type

@@sun-sea-solar fair enough.

@mudislander864 thanks for your input. I did end up connecting it up with a rcd and consumer unit. But these high frequency inverters are a lot more awkward than they let on. I'm not the only person who has had problems. Even bigger channels and experienced electricians still get shocked off these hybrid inverters

Depends on if you are taking price out of the equation. For the budget option these hands down. You could be the equivalent of a Tesla power wall for next to nothing.

Personally I think its better than their 48v version which I also have

It's been excellent. I've moved on to the 48v version. But I use the 24v in my camper van

@@sun-sea-solar I bought recently 11kw 48v version but haven't received it yet - are you on same ?

I have 2 of the 6200kw versions. They are OK. I'm not used to the fans being on all time. They both can't run 6200w. Maybe 5500 max

@@sun-sea-solar 5000-5200w per inverter or both of them together only 5200? I guess 6200 is not W actually but VA so around 5200w is close to that.

@betimgashi7408 that's each inverter. But the thing that I don't like is the main battery terminals on these are clamps rather than crimped battery terminal. So the holes are tiny and you can't over size the cables

My jump part never worked properly

We use it every day in our house. Excellent so far

Probably have to swap to some form of agile tariffs so you can charge the battery through the night on a cheaper rate

@marcusbinner9656 just seems strange why one battery out of 4 is the weak link. Especially as it was the newer battery. I understand the principle, I could purchase a battery balancer but as I had another identical battery I wanted to swap the battery out first.

​@@marcusbinner9656I'll see what happens now it has been swapped out. The battery is identical. Charged the same way to float. Then let it settle. But the problem now is I have to re balance the whole battery bank. Which for 800ah at 12 v 15amps with my victron charger will take forever

@marcusbinner9656 in your opinion would it make a difference if some of the 200ah battery are 4 cells and some 8 cells ?

Thanks for your help. I actually think the the new batteries are not 200ah. So even though they are new, they are causing me more trouble than they are worth. When I charged them I only got 180ah that was from 12v on my clamp meter. I really don't think from 10.5v to 12v that's an extra 20ah. So I think I got short change on the capacity

@@Hipyon thanks for the advice. I think one of the batteries seems to be constantly lagging behind the other 3 so I might swap it out.

@@AlAmin-d4e probably quality of the video

@@sun-sea-solar wow! you are very intelligent. I want to help you. I noticed few areas where I could help optimize your videos to reach a larger audience. Would you be open to discussing this further?
