Thanks for all the replies. We ended up going with 28 x 550w Canadian Solar panels, 3 x Luxpower SNA-6000 inverters and 6 x 5KW Revov batteries that the installer supplied at the same price as Ecohub. I bought a second hand 36U cabinet that we put on it's back for the batteries. We did have some issues with the installation, some code on the inverters was wrong so it couldn't communicate with the batteries. Turns out Luxpower changed the code from their manual to the actual inverters for some reason. Then the system kept on tripping the earth breaker, turns out the previous owner of the house had a 20A earth breaker installed so when the inverters were pulling power from Eskom it tripped the whole system. Installed a 63A earth breaker and now it is humming along very nicely. Today will be the first time we have it running 100% so will see how it goes.

Thanks for all the input, greatly appreciated. We are leaning towards 3 of these Ecohub Has anybody dealt with Ecohub before?

We are looking at the Deye inverters and the Revov 100 is on the approved list. I am open to any other suggestions though.

Another question. Thoughts on Revov batteries?

That makes sense. Not sure how much the draw of two stovetops will be though.

It is my brother and his wife and we are working together on this so it shouldn't be a problem

No 3 phase loads at all. Besides the stove/oven we only have 3 gaming computers that uses most of the power. We use on average 50 units (prepaid) of power a day.

Not sure about the supply but we have 2 x 60A and 1 x 30A breakers.

So the time has come for our solar install but I have a few questions. We have 3 phase power coming in from the municipality. 1 phase - House 1 phase - Duplex flat on the property 1 phase - Front gate (for some reason) The plan is to combine the three phases into one DB with a single phase from the incoming DB for the inverts if/when we don't have sufficient battery charge. What we are planning on getting 2 x 8KW inverters 6 x 5KW batteries 28 x 550W solar panels Any advise, hardware specials etc. would be appreciated.
