The Sunsynk :

LIKES

  1. easy to set up,
  2. connects easily to popular batteries via the CAN port.
  3. “time of use” is a great feature
  4. During summer i was consistently running 3.5-3.8 kW loads on my 5 kW inverter, would not de-rate, the fan would come on periodically but once the inverter cooled down to a certain temperature, the fan would shut off
  5. “Smart Load” function is connected to the pool pump, automatically switches it on/off depending on available pv/battery soc

DISLIKES

  1. Victron vrm spoiled me, Sunsynk thru the third party app is 5-10 minutes behind, but I am used to it by now, don’t bother looking at the data that much any more.
  2. No remote control, but as I am not a tinkerer, so don’t mind, as the system works flawlessly.
  3. There are a few people on the various forums that have become decent experts, but you cannot get much help from the manufacturer, or, luckily I have not had a problem so far.
  4. There is only one person in all of South Africa working on the inverters, so not like Victron at this stage, hopefully it will change, time will tell
    So far the Sunsynk is working great, I like it a lot.
