So i eventually ordered everything from Steve. Waiting for Werner to give me a price on installation. 16 x Panels and 1x Hubble to start.

Steve from powerforum store made contact and he is very helpful.

I have sent him an email yes. Still waiting on a reply. Thing is the quote above is supplied by my local sparky that does all my work. I know him well and he doesn't seem too keen on me ordering and him only doing installation. It is what it is at this stage. Also got another quote from a well known individual on this forum. Way more expensive and also not the products i would like.

Ok i got a quote. Anyone have any opinions ? I know inverter and battery can be sourced for cheaper if i supply it.

Afaik the two geysers has to be on at the same time. I have tried switching on or the other off and use it like that but then the water is not really warm. I have a heatpump that is connected to the geysers and that thing does not work at all. The plumbing diagram is all wrongly connected to the 2 geysers so i just use them with their elements. To re do the plumbing is a total nightmare so i just leave it off. I bought the house with the heatpump installed.

Hahaha divorce is ongoing atm. That's why i have such low consumption. I have 2 x inverter ac's as well. I have used them on the genny a few times. Maybe i must check the spikes when they are operating to get a better picture.

Thank you again for the replies. I used the shower this morning during load shedding. Power only came back after 9. I can see the immediate spike to 3.47kW after power came back. I assume its the geysers as i was using the generator until after nine and on the db only the geysers were switched off while on the genny.

Thanks that is exactly what i am thinking. I don't want a system specked on the what is the minimum i can get away with. I want to have breathing room. Buy once cry once. I also don't want to have to juggle loads or wire in essential and non essential loads. Everything must work as if nothing happened. I don't want to tinker and adjust settings every other day. The system must be installed and I can forget about it. Only monitoring it. Any suggestions on who i can contact for quotes and installation ? I am in Secunda, MP Thank you for all the responses thus far.

Thanks for the replies thus far. Whole house is led lights, 2 x 200L geysers not solar or gas, gas hob, 1 single person. This is what my peaks look like when the domestic is here. And this would be a normal day And now like today after the power came back from load shedding i guess the geysers kicked in and the washing machine and the kettle to peak at 5.3kw. I would ideally like an inverter like the Sunsynk 8kw and lithium batteries. Have no idea on how many panels of what size i would need. Thanks again

Good day everyone. I am convincing myself i need an inverter, batteries and later on solar as well. I have no idea where to start. Who to contact for quotes on parts and installation etc? Can anyone give me some guidance? Installers and suppliers i can contact. Below i have attached my current usage as measured over the last 2 years with a Engage Efergy meter. Could someone make out from the below what i would need to include the whole house on an inverter and batteries. I have 2 x 200L geysers. At the moment i am using a generator to power the whole house except the geysers in load shedding or power outages. Thanks in advance
