How about a solar car port on a budget?

@Crossy, You have all DEYE inverters, 4 in total, right?

Was there a specific reason for selecting DEYE or will all the major brands do pretty much the same.

What is your opinion on SOLIS inverters?

 

Yup, 4 x 5kW Deye hybrids plus our original Sofar 6kW grid-tie running through one of the Gen ports.

 

When we decided to upgrade our single 5kW Sofar hybrid we needed: -

• Units that could parallel on the Load (UPS) port (Sofar couldn't) 
• Inverters that would interface with Solar Assistant to avoid them being internet connected (Sofar couldn't)
• A sensible degree of programmability, TOU etc. etc. (Sofar didn't)
• Must be on the MEA/PEA list of approved inverters
• Decent bang-for buck without going ultra cheap.

Sofar inverters are very good and robust but just didn't cut the mustard for our requirements.

 

Deye (and their US branded version Sol-Ark) are pretty well regarded in the DIY solar community as being a decent mid-range choice.

 

Thus far they are being exactly what we need.

 

But, as with all these things YMMV 🙂
