  1. Hi all, what do you think of this entry setup to run a medium household during loadshedding - can upgrade letter to Solar and one more battery? Mecer Axpert MAX 5.6KW (SOL-I-AX-5M4), 6KW MPPT inverter with Dyness 4.8KW battery (SOL-I-AX-5M4)
  2. Hi guys, what would you say are the best Inverter (no solar - yet, for later yes) of about 5KW right now... considering availability, cost and quality? Thanks!
  3. Hi guys, what would you say are the best Lithium batteries of about 5KW right now... considering availability, cost and quality of the battery. Thanks!

  5. Thanks @WannabeSolarSparky any recommendation for an entry-level but good 48V LiFePO4 system?

  7. Hi, I want to replace my 3 year old entry Mecer 1400W 24V setup. I just need a backup system that can deliver ~1kW for 2.5h. So I'm thinking a 3kW or 5kW inverter will do? With what battery(ies)? Any recommendations on value for Rands right now?
  8. Hi what are your opinions between using 2x Mecer 200ah Lithium vs the S-120 batteries for a entry level 24V 2.5kw inverter backup setup? Which one will have a better cycle life?

  12. Sorry for the confusion. Need to run a >1KW load for 2 hours. The actual load is between 500W-1KW during a loadshedding slot that is about 2:10h
  13. Hi, I had 2x 12V 200AH AGM batteries (with 24V 2.5KW inverter) for ~3 years worked okay but degraded lately and are now dead. Used for loadshedding backup 1kW over 2 hours with no solar. With what should I replace the batteries? 2x 12V 200AH AGM or 4x 12V 100AH AGM or what LiFe batteries? Need some advice wat has a reasonable price that can last for at least 3-5 years please.
