Hi, @nazuro1041. I can't comment specifically on Sunsynk inverters or the Fogstar battery but in a more general sense I have a very similar setup. My inverter is a Growatt - as is the battery - and I ... | ||

Is this ASHP install OK?

I don't know how to enable cooling on Daikin and @majordennisbloodnok is correct to sound a note of caution re condensation, although some heat pumps will measure and run above the dew point in an att... | ||

RE: Daikin - octopus -cooling
By Majordennisbloodnok, 3 weeks ago |

@jamespa my heating and hot water system works fine with no adjustments on 55C flow, so you are spot on. If we make electric cheaper (I say just do a straight up carbon tax) then many more people coul... |
