Yeah, lots of options and thinking to do...just wish I'd done a bit more research back in the day...story of life I guess

Thanks, US5000 is a bit better value so that is an option

ah, hadn't though about that, thanks

great suggestion, thanks!

thanks for the feedback!

Hi All, I have a bit of a dilemma with our off grid set up... We have a nice setup (12 x 410w PV, MPP Solar 5kW inverter, 3 x Pylontech US3000), but are looking to expand to add capacity for another build close by. The new build will increase roof area to allow for more panels (12 more 410W)...

Hi, sorry to hear. I did pull the main board out and I think the fuse is on that somewhere (not helpful I know). Possibly you can access in the panel where the leads go in... My GK is still in its box under the bed, I bought a slightly different model and have used it no trouble for 6 months now

Hi All, Greetings for sunny Northland, New Zealand. We've spent the last 3 months surviving with 1 x 3.2KwH LiFePO4 battery and are now in a position to get another. I'm thinking to install some more PVs while I'm at it and hope that someone can check my set up. We currently have; 6 x 410w...

Hi All, I've finally gotten around to installing my MPPSolar PIP 5048GK, and have encountered a problem... First up, system set up... Inverter as above, https://mppsolar.com.au/product/pip-5048gk-5kw-48vdc-solar-inverter/ battery Pylontech US3000 (3.2kW) LiFePO4...

I bought my 5048-GK direct from mppsolar in Australia and had it shipped to New Zealand. Great service. I could have bought it direct from Taiwan but got offered a great deal on an "opened box" unit.

Hi all, great to see that some have made more progress than I did with Rosen. I had no issues with the offer, was just wary of spending so much money without strong recommendations. I have now bought PV panels and battery from a NZ vendor, going with local warranty etc for that extra piece of mind.

Hi tictag, Thanks for your amazing reply, very helpful. The start up voltage is in the manual that came with the inverter. It actually says 150V +/- 10V, so really good with the 4 panel array if we go that way. Based on your help I'm now thinking of starting with one string of 6 panels, with...

Hi All, We're battling through a very wet winter here, but making some progress. The roof is on and I'm getting ready to order PV panels and battery. We're looking at aasolar.co.nz/product/400w-perc-mono-half-cell-pv-solar-panel and pylontech us3000 lithium battery to combine with a...

Hi all, I'm slowly working toward getting an off grid system together for a new build. I have previously purchased a (an?) MPPSolar PIP-GK 5048 controller/inverter https://www.mppsolar.com/v3/pip-gk-series/ The attached quote is from Rosen Solar in China. PV panels seem a great price, with...
