    I think i might have missed this part when writing the previous reply Do we need to have a AC spd when we don’t use a hybrid inverter?

    If you are not charging via the grid(say, you are using inverter and solar charge controller as separate units), then you can skip the AC SPD. however having one is an advantage, it will protect other household appliances from surges coming from the grid(when you are using grid power)


    I ordered SAKO pack via admin service
    Admin service eka stop karala neh. Mama eh nisa unben ara import karana kenek gana ahuweth. Eya batteryth import karanawa kiwwa

    Do we need to have a AC spd when we don’t use a hybrid inverter? I have ordered all kind of DC breakers, dc spds, fuses, manual solar line isolators, battery protection fuses, breakers etc.. Thought main line can ensure AC line protection for surges 🤔


    Didn’t saw any bad comment on fb, Thama loku kaalayak use karapu aya nathuwa atine e nisa sure na, eka thama aduma option eka admin service tibbe ne

    Machan would you be able to post the links for those units you brought? Some people say DC units are not available at the moment for local purchases.

    Can you kindly send your importers number?

    Finally i ordered a Growatt SPF 5000ES from China, with shipping $860. This is the cheapest i found with stocks in hand.

    yeah.
    Now china sellers are also trying to take advantage, most of the sellers says out of the stock due to the high demand from sri lanka.
    It was around 750USD when i purchase the inverter, including WiFi dongle and 5Year extended warranty.

    Yes i saw this.
    That is why i suggest that it is better if we can order cells individually and build the battery ourselves.
