Livoltek System

Does anyone one have any first-hand experience with these systems. Looks very neat, but not a lot of information out there on them.

Just wondering how you are getting on with the Livotek system? Had mind installed in Nov last year and very happy with it. Only issues I've seen is with the occasional Cell over volt warning. It's in the log as an alert but the system resets and seems fine

Hi Jimboroony,

How did you get on with the system install. Was it a Livoltek you got commissioned?

So having started this topic a year ago, I finally got the Livoltek installed last week. Very pleased with the system. There is lots of system info both online and in the app. I have not used other systems, so I can't really compare and contrast.

Installer could not answer many questions about the app or the operating system.He told me to leave it in "Self-Use" mode and not to touch anything else. This would mean that I could not charge up the battery on night-rate.

Thankfully, I found the option in the app that allows me to decide what times to charge and discharge the battery, with the remaining hours being run in self-use mode.

The major benefit of the system is how neat it is. I keep referring to it as the fridge!

I'm happy to try and answer any questions if anyone has them - it will help me get to know the system better too!

would you be happy to share a photo of the install / set up? What battery size did you get?

I have 13 panels with 5.5kWp and a single 5kWh battery.

I got a quote for a Livoltek system today and the recommendation from the salesperson was that it needs to be covered if outdoors. Yours doesn't look to have any additional covering? Did you get any recommendations or is there any additional covering on it?

tlaavtech

There was no recommendation for covering it - just that it was IP65 rated so it was fine outside. It's not clear from the picture but it has a high wall opposite it, so not much room for any structure but quite sheltered. An enclosure might not be the best idea either.

Hello everyone. I'm also looking at a Livoltek system. I was told it can take a maximum of 16 445W panels. My only concern is that this might limit me if I wanted to add a few more in the future. Is there a way around this limitation does anyone know?
