  In South Africa, we install these inverters on mass! They are really great units with lovely features!

  I have installed 6 units so far, with 10 more to install, I am invested however not blinded by that investment. I also have installed a fair bit of Victron kit and have 10 plus years’ experience in the sector so I can talk from a position of knowledge and experience. Some of the complaints about technical back up are fair however Sunsynk are listening to installer feedback, time will tell. The idea that this is a low-quality product is unfounded by anyone claiming it, other than saying its a rebranded product, which it is to some extent (ie different name badge) however that isn’t intrinsically a bad thing, the PCBs in the unit have Sunsynk printed on them at manufacture so who is using what aspect of the other components, it could be a jointly developed product range. It is common place activity sharing aspects of products with other manufactures. If you’re not familiar with it I suggest taking apart any electronics and comparing and contrasting, you will see the same components and PCBs and layouts over and over again. Same in cars, same in houses, boilers, heat pumps, white goods, TVs, computers, phones, etc etc, same in all things in life, its part of globalism, it helps keep costs low and quality high. &nbsp;You see all these brands out there and think they are all making their own products, the best example I can think of is Unilever, same stuff different bottle. &nbsp;Who do you think makes Tesco own brand food, Tesco with their own factories, of course not, its the same stuff with a different sticker on it, or maybe a perceived lesser quality product operating in a different part of the market.<br><br>Once working I have been extremely impressed with the performance of the units for their cost, the 3.6 unit can handle 8kW of panels if sized correctly (maximum through put is 7kW) and still operate under G98. I have a system operating 21kW of PV on three 3.6 units and a 40kW system nearing completion using 6 of the 5.5 models. Try costing those systems up with Victron, its no joke!<br>There is no kit out there which is perfect, I have replaced from all manufactures at some point or another, its power electronics at the end of the day, if you think it should just work and never have issues then try turning a switch on 100,000 times a second and see how that goes for you, cause that’s what this kit has to do. <br>I see plenty of sparks moving into solar and making plenty of mistakes due to a lack of knowledge, thinking they can cram everything they need to know into a days’ worth of reading or watching videos. &nbsp;Then blaming the inherent complexity of the kit and the systems on the manufacture or the lack of “technical support” when really, they just don’t know what they are doing or they are punching too far above their weight presenting as engineers when they are actually technicians/parts fitters because there is ££ to be made. &nbsp;This is nothing new and not exclusive to the electrical/solar trade.

  Nice to see a salesman who believes in his product wholeheartedly. &nbsp; Good job.

  Great products, curious as to whether it can vary the power going into the immersion coil to match excess generation? Feel like the industry needs to come up with a standard protocol so your ev charger and immersion heater and other loads can dynamically take up power to match availability across brands - any work going into this?

  When visiting the factory that produces this unit. The first thing that catches the eye is the large sign up front that says Deye. Its everywhere in fact.

  Love this channel, saving to try and get Sunsynk invertor. Need it here in South Africa

  Great content! Installed a few hundred thousand KW&apos;s in Canada and looking to possibly start back in UK.

  Many thanks for the video :) I am about to increase the size of my array considerably to be able to charge my electric car - Can you help? I would like to know if the 8kW sunsynk has the option for a user defined battery . . . I have built my own 48v lion battery which has it&apos;s own bms and need to know if I will be able to configure the sunsynk appropriately - many thanks in advance for any assistance 👍🏼

  This is the type of feature rich product we need nowadays as solar energy is maturing. &nbsp;Will this unit work in N. America with its 240VAC RMS split phase?

  Is there an issue in the solar trade where optimisers are being mis-sold? &nbsp;They only have a purpose where panels might be shaded and if that shading is present during a significant portion of the generation cycle - other than this they have significant disadvantages to reliability.

  Great to see a UK company doing well :-) Please could I ask for thoughts/comments (preferably nice ones) about the difference between the 3.6Kw unit and battery vs a Victron (All in one) Easy Solar II GX 48v 3000 / 35a with MPPT 270/70 amp for charging and a Fogstar 5120wh LifePo4 battery ? (I&apos;m likely to only be able to fit 5 x solar panels max) and this won&apos;t be connected to the grid, other than simply for the AC charging aspect)
