Dear Sir/Ma’am, I was hoping you could assist me. I have a house in a complex in Knysna and already have an 8kW invertor and 1 battery that has saved me through the Eskom two hour load shedding. I am now looking at installing solar panels and an additional battery. It would be great if you give me some more information on what solar panels I need as well as how many (my northern facing roof is about 25m2) panels I would require to charge the batteries. Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, P.S. Please call me on WhatsApp if you need to call me as I am currently out of the country. Thanks. Otherwise email works great.
5kw inverter, storage battery & solar panels. For residential use to run fridge, TV, Wifi, lights. I need a system that will run most of my household appliances. Gas stove and Solar/Electrical Geyser. Two people in house. 4 bedrooms, 2 lounges, Kitchen & outside flat with one room and kitchen & Garage with elctric motor and two gates with electric motor.
I am looking to install the Quatro Victron System with 24x watt Canadian Solar Panels to ensure that I am almost self sufficient from an electrical supply point of view. I have North facing roof space to handle these Solar Panels and have set up conduits and an extra DB Board for Solar power supply. I would also like to be in a position to provide electricity back into the grid when this facility is available in the Knysna area
Load shedding backup system that one can upgrade. I would like someone to explain all the different back-up systems that are possible to use during load shedding so that I can make an informed decision. I am busy at work from 8 to 4pm but I do have some times during the day where I am available for calls as well. If I do miss a call, I am available on email and Whatsapp as well.
Please could you provide us with a quote to add solar panels to our Sunsynk 5k system. (Plett) System was installed Sep/Oct last year and has 5.5k? - hubble battery. We would now like to add a few panels to the system (the minimum to start with as budget is a consideration. ) Please advise the best way to proceed so that we can add on as we are able to.
Hi there, I have some questions regarding the installation of 6 solar panels and associated components. I am busy on phonecall meetings for the next hour, I will be available for discussions after that. What would you charge me for installing the following: 1) Deye 5Kw single phase hybrid inverter. VOC V; Battery: 48V CT & Wifi included (what would be different if one used an 8kW inverter? i.e. cost versus benefits) 2 Volta Battery Lithium 5.1kW; 48 V Ah, Stage 1 3. Six solar panel W monocrystalline PV module Tier 1 Thanks,
We are school which has over learners. Our electricity bill during winter is over R25 . We have photocopying machines and printers that are running everyday at our admin block. We want to start the installation at the admin block first before we can expand and put the whole school. The admin block must always function. It has: 1. It has photocopying machines that are alternated depending on the demand for papers (two machines work during the examination season) 2. Five heaters 3. Two bar fridges 4. One microwave 5. 11 rooms for lights including the corridors 6. An alarm system.
What would the estimated full installation costs be for a stand-by PV system versus a single large generator for an old-age complex of say 80 homes (ranging from single to 3 bedrooms). Most of them are in clusters of 4 adjoining homes. In addition, there is a Care Centre of 10 units plus a separate office for 2 staff members. We live in Hayfields, Pietermaritzburg. We have many power outages so struggle with signal issues, please try the number above between 10am and 12pm or alternatively, email me.
I am looking to have this done next month. Please only contact me telephonically from 1 August. We can then discuss properly. Solar panels, inverter and lithium batteries required for a 4 bedroom house. Geysers NOT to be on system. Normal household appliances to be used - no high draw current required. Preferred system: SunSynk Guarantee required for waterproofing of roof after installation.
This is the information in order to determine the system that would suit me and other relevant information that I would require 1. I use an average of 33KWh/day 2. The Fridge, Stove, Geyser, Microwave and Clothing Iron must be excluded, and will continue on municipal power 3. I would like 2 options - Rent, or outright purchase. 4. Guarantee and warrantees included 5. Advise service intervals, cost there-of, and maintenance contract if available. 6. Installation period, lead time, and payment terms.
