I'm looking at a similar install: 8kW SunSynk + 14.3kWh SolarMD. The best I can fit on my North facing roof is 12x 660w Canadians and I have to do it in "landscape" format. Where did you get your 660w Canadians, Kamos?

Thanks for the fresh angle - appreciated! The house has just been put on the market, so that adds another complication, I suppose.

Thanks for the insightful comments - I will open the conversation with the landlord.

Hi all, hope one of you can assist. I've taken delivery of a 14.3kWh SolarMD and an 8kW SunSynk Hybrid inverter today. What would be the recommendation as my best option to do a temporary installation to tie me over until I move into my own property in 11 months? I really don't need to use more than 3-4kW peak in the interim.

Wow, this Sarel knows his bizniz! Thanks for the pointer!

Thanks, Buyeye - we are certainly applying the "Passivhaus" principles as far as we can, and my consumption should drop (apart from the additional EV requirement). - I'm also thinking that the EVs will be parked in the garage for quite a few hours during the sunlight hours, which will bring my storage requirement (for overnight charging) down, right?

Thanks, Bobster - I'll have a read

Hi all, I'm building a 450sqm house in Stellenbosch soon and have the opportunity to adopt proper renewable tech from scratch. Your input would be invaluable. So far I'm thinking double glazing, isoboard under slab, PV and heat pumps. Even considering geothermal (i.e. ground sourced energy input to heat pumps) Some more info: My current consumption is ±70kWh per day in winter - conventional HWCs, cooking, pumps, minimal heating The electric vehicle I'm considering will require an additional ±30-40kWh per day to cover my daily average travel. I'd prefer an ROI of ±10-12% on the capital employed. The system must be able to cope with stage 3-4 load shedding. I never want to have to wear ski clothes in my home in winter. I will have ±90sqm 30deg North facing roof surface (2 sections) and would prefer to use a panel that covers the whole of the roof section for aesthetical reasons. My back of the cigarette box calculation - please rip it apart. Peak winter 120kWh per day / 10hrs of sunlight = 12kW per hr generated 50kWh discharged during 14 non-sunlight hrs (charging elec vehicle and others) = ±50kWh battery capacity!!? I look forward to engaging with the smart people here
