Hi Shiv,Has anyone used the fogstar batteries with Sunsynk inverter? or know if it's compatible?
Been leaning towards Sunsynk inverter and exploring batteries that are compatible, other than the sunsynk ones. I quite like the fogstar cabinet setup 15kwh. @Ben@Fogstar
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll place an order on your website soon!Hi Shiv,
Yes they are compatible. I have just chosen sunsynk for my home!
do i still need to turn off ac and dc isolators before connection of battery to inverter then turn breaker on for battery??,received rack and battery today,thanks,just need to connect now.
not going to rush into anything thats why im asking questions and on forums reading,this is diy forum so,but any guidance and help much appreciated,have a solis 3.6 hybrid mcs certified and most of energy getting exported,thats why i got the battery,not easy finding sparky to connect battery,most want to sell and connect.
Solis 3.6 has max draw of 62.5A.not going to rush into anything thats why im asking questions and on forums reading,this is diy forum so,but any guidance and help much appreciated,have a solis 3.6 hybrid mcs certified and most of energy getting exported,thats why i got the battery,not easy finding sparky to connect battery,most want to sell and connect.
All depends on one's own requirements and budget. You and me obviously have more (20kWh and 15kWh respectfully).do you have only the one Fogstar battery ???
If so, it does not seem like enough.
Sounds a good plan. If you can get the rack nearer the Solis, all the better; if not, you will need to invest in thicker cables.Thanks SeaGal and Urge38,as said before all info appreciated and not going to rush.just didnt like exported energy but if battery fills i will definately get another as got the rack unit aswell!!

A single 5.1kWh is perfect for 'load balancing' out the clouds in the day and keep you going into the evening, especially if you cook with gas. As always it's a law of diminishing returns (ROI-wise).
And he can always add to the setup later in the year if demand and budget dictates.
