@Ian cheers for that , that’s what I’m going to do go small first try work around it sounds like your setup will do me for a Start , then add ( if can ) when I get spare cash ( not often 🙄) if you dont mind me asking what’s the ball park figure for your setup ? complete turn key ? I would be able to mount panels, batteries and maybe cables but not connect … that’s the only knowledge i will have thank you

Hi there , yes I was meaning 5kw maxing , so I think the the sunsynk 5kw By the looks of replies and other posts I just need to get a shopping list going and see what’s what thanks

Thanks that’s helpful , Will be two persons house , but will need to learn the offgrid “laws” of moderation 🙄😂

I was thinking of people in the kalahari and Karoo .. those batteries must age quicker without temp control

What would you consider low evening usage .. I know it’s all relevant to different uses ect but what is roughly considered low usage ? Thanks

Just curious as a total beginner can’t you set up a modified fridge with thermostat setting to keep the batteries at optimum temperature? easy to set up …

@Buyeye thanks for the reply , yes there will be no heating items used , that will be on gas, till i upscale. I also only be using the tools in day time ( belt sander , skill saws ect ) no heavy machinery . So the main load will be daytime 3000-5000max and then at night only running fridge freezer , led lights bits and bobs so only need 2000-3000w at night also will have generator for backup possibly wind turbine in future what’s the most economical way to set this up ? do I still need 10kwh battery bank if using daytime as peak? kind regards
