[QUOTE="Vaal, post: 1145636, member: 24036"] I use a 5kw Sunsynk inverter with a 5.3kw array and a 5kw Hubble battery. I use a sokar geyser with a electric element as a backup. Never tripped it or got close to a humm out of it. For you guys who use normal geysers, I'll advise you to use a LCR (load control relay) on your geyser, it work on the principle of: if your load is less than lets say 10A = 2300w the Lcr will close and feed power to the geyser, if the load is higher than 10A the supply to the geyser will be cut. The Lcr can be bought in different current values. With more than 1 geyser, with a bit of ingenuity you can build a relay system which you can decide which is your main geyser and then if the main geyser is not hot, the second geyser won't heat up, if the main and second are hot then #3 will heat etc. [/QUOTE]
