This is home which we are purchasing. We intend to install solar once the bond is registered (we plan on doing the installation early in January). We do not currently have electricity usage, as this is a bigger home than we are used to. We would like an 8kW inverter, even if solar panels and battery are smaller, to allow us to upgrade if needed without installing a new inverter. A few options, ranging from R -R would be great
Please contact me asap. I require the following. 1-off 8kw Sunsynk Inverter, 2×5kw Sunsynk Lithium batteries, 8 × watt mono crystal Canadian or JA Solar Panels. DC Connection/Protection box, AC Sub DB, Surge Pro, Changeo er, Indicators, DC DB, Combiner 3-1. Alternative quotation required for the above but Victron product and Lithium (LiFePO4) Batteries. Need a CoC as well.
Household use: Main use (Eskom to stay connected in case of unforeseen failure of Solar energy supply system) : 1. To run all household appliances and lights 1.1 geyser ( litre) 1.2 electric stove (big) 1.3 two(2) big fridges and 1 medium freezer 1.4 fourteen (14) 30w flood lights 1.5 ten(10) 15w lights 1.6 thirty(30) down lights 1.7 six(6) fluorescent lights NB. The whole house must run on Solar System 24/7. However the Solar System must be connected to the Eskom grid and if for some reason the Solar System experiences some immediate failure Eskom to automatically kick in without any disruption. System should be built on a free standing structure, exclusively built for the Solar System panels.

We had our house renovated and the guys assigned to do our electrical work completed in August, they tried to install a light but opened the DB to draw a wire and problems started..Our earth leakage trips randomly..they tried to fix it but failed, now they had to bypass the earth leakage and even changed the prepaid meter so that we can temporarily have electricity. The previous prepaid meter was showing an overload even when eskom was off. The new meter constantly beeps and signs bypass. We have seen 2 electricians thus far.
I have a two bedroom 2 bathroom plus an office and would like to have a solar system to run my whole house. Washing machine, dishwasher, dryer (if possible), fridge, freezer, air conditioner, lights, tv, internet, computer. Double garage doors. I have no idea what size unit I would need to run so would appreciate your advice and input. Thank you.
I have a 5kw inverter installed and I am very happy with it. However, I wanted to set up SOLAR PANELS but the area is not suitable for panels. I would have to have something portable. The other draw back, I was told to install 4 panels for charging the battery!!! I have a thatch roof. Any advice would be appreciated. I am in Naboomspruit, 2 hours north of Pretoria.

I am having fully installed solar power system which worked for roughly 6 months and the battery keeps on tripping on its Circuit breaker. The installer informed me that it is over discharged. He took it and recharged it and only worked for one day and it is still doing the same thing. I am using this to run 5×4m freezer room. I am told is a 9kw solar power system. It never worked for the entire year and I don't see the benefit of having it. Please come to assess and give recommendations.
