Help me go off grid in winter
Hi all, with all this new BS from Eskom I am planning to bid the grid farewell soon. My installation is pretty new (Nov 2024) so far I have not switched on the grid again (although Eskom is charging me around R4500 for electricity per month).
I have made it through the cloudy days pretty well with the batteries being at about 40% the following morning. When there is full sun my batteries are around 48%.
My question is how will the system perform in the winter? What will I need to add to make it through?
I am planning on having a standby generator just in case, but obviously don't want to use it.
This is my setup currently:
16 x 545w panels, 2x 5kw Deye inverters, 3 x 5.12kw Volta stage 1 batteries.
Geyser only heats during the day (but planning on moving the geyser to gas) I also have a gas stove/oven.
I am located on the Northern side of Pretoria.
I would greatly appreciate any advice.-

Cooling Sunsynk 5kW
My inverter is installed in my garage and during summer it gets quite hot in Bloemfontein. When you park a hot car in there it gets even hotter. I realized the Inverter DC side reached temperatures of near 90 degrees during midday. I installed 3 x 120mm computer fans on top with a temperature controller switching the fans on and off. The thermistor is attached to the heatsink. The heatsink temperature is about 20 degrees below the internal temperature indicating by the app. With the fans the temperature stays below 60 degrees. I 3D printed the bracket and bought the temperature controller from an online store for under R200 with a 12V powersupply. Is anybody is interested visit Thingiverse:Thing6468217 to get the STL files for the bracket. (Search Sunsynk 5kW)-
