  1. Hi Thys Thank you. I`ve done that and the account is active with my personal password to access the account, the site is created and all I need now is the connection to the internet. You say you`ve had some issues with the wifi connection? Do you need a Victron USB-WIFI conversion router or does the system allow for any proper unit to be used?
  2. Hi I`ve installed the Victron 2x5KVa system at my house with the victron blue energy color panel and the battery monitor. I want to know what is the best option to be able to monitor the system and store the data on the victron data cloud available on the net. This will make it possible for me to see what the status of my system is while I`m in the D.R.C. If someone could help me with the basic explanation on how to do this I would dearly appreciate it.
  3. For the guys who helped me on the discussion above, just an update of were I`m at this stage. I`ve found the perfect system for my needs in the Victron series and with the help of Deltech only paid a fraction more than the so called energy box mentioned on top here. The installation was done professionally and with care to the infrastructure of the house. I am fortunate to be able to sell all the long coming appliances from the old house in town and replaced it with A++ equipment from Bosch. They truly exceed the needs of ultra light power consuming appliances. :D solar.zip
  4. Thanks to everyone participating in this topic, I am indeed much more informed and will take a lot of advise from this to move forward.
  5. Hi guys The Inverters is the (Replus sineON IM5kva-48v) made by Renesola. The power-box is not that fancy at all with the Amp hour meter like Plonkster mentioned. I`ve attached some of the specks of this system. But I don't thinks it`s the best system for the moneys worth. Thanks a lot.

  6. Thanks Guys This is awesome to have somewhere to turn to, What you are saying is a lot of help. The decision to go off grid was a huge one and we understand that this is not only a choice but a lifestyle and will need a lot of management to succeed. The stove is Gas-gas with only the rotisserie and the oven light that needs power. The water heating will come from two high-pressure solar geysers and a gas one for backup in the main bathroom. I`ll insure that all lighting is led Thanks for the tip on the A++ fridge and freezer. That leaves me with the dishwasher, pool pump, and irrigation system which will need to be operated during peak sun hours. The Idea to go with two inverters in parallel will insure that there is some power if something goes wrong with either system. I`ve got two quotes and both is much more than what is spoken about. I don't want to stir anything but will put the quote up for you to see, this is the one I`m interested in. the only real concern is the Power-box in this quote which is a very fancy box for all the equipment to go into but with a R15 000 rand price tag, I`m not so sure.

  7. Good day Guys I`m in the process of building a house and will be completely of the grid. I`m looking at 8000w system and will ad on as required in the future. Can anyone please give me an estimated price range for such a system. Should be a high quality and reliable system with low or zero maintenance on the batteries as I`m working out of country and the misses will be left with the issues while I`m gone
