I came here with a similar question. To comment on @gkj_muk I have 2 geysers, also with Geyserwise, one I can check the temperature the whole day on one and it will be accurate, and the other drops to 23 or something the second Geyserwise has turned the geyser off. Same models, installed same day by the same person. 2 very very different geysers, though. I can live with that, i am not fussed seeing the temperature being accurate the whole day at this point. But as with @Henna123 my Geyserwise shuts down at 5 am, after running for an hour and coming to 55 degrees. I get into the shower at 5, the water gets nice and hot in about 2 minutes, then about 5 minutes in it just drops to I don't know, maybe 35. I will need to check what @JamesF advised. But that's going to be more than just a hot water leak. In Hennna's case yes. Mine is in minutes. I have an idea that some bafoon has connected a cold water pipe into the hot water pipe, and the moment the pressure drops it floods the pipe with cold water. I don't know how a gyser works, but I would think that it keeps the hot and cold water separate, and whatever mechanism inside that has this function, is faulty. The geyser has been dodgy since install though. I have lots to ponder now, thanks everyone.

* [edit] I think I may have incorrectly worded this. The below prices are not the final prices - they do not have the discount of 25%. The prices mentioned are what I paid. Hi everyone I am selling a whole bunch of items here, perfect for an installer, all you really need is this, a battery (or 5), inverter and solar panels. Prefer to let it all go together. These are all brand new items, never used, I bought the whole kit but when I got a new installer they decided to rather stick to their own stock items. And the roof hooks didn't fit my roof in any case. This was all bought from PowerForum, so keeping it local. 🙂 I am willing to let this go at 25% off on PowerForum's own price, or if you have a quote from elsewhere we can discuss it.

I spoke to Wimpie at PFS, I have a final quote and 2 names. Thank you everyone for all the help, I learned quite a bit in the past 2 days because of this forum and you guys.

Ok, so if I take your recomendation and go for the Revov, decide on this: https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/batterys/products/r9-51-2v-220ah-11-2kwh https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/inverters/products/sunsynk-5kw-1p-hybrid-pv-inverter-48v https://powerforum-store.co.za/collections/solar-panels/products/545w-super-high-power-mono-perc-hiku-with-mc4-evo2 So that is: Revov SYS-2LiFE-R9-CANDR-220-11.2 @ R 51,915.60 6x 545W Canadian Solar @ R 4,228.55 = R 33,828,40 Sunsynk 5kW 1P Hybrid @ R 25,725.50 Total of R 111,469,50. Would that be your preferred choice? And installing in Cape Town, any recomendations?

Fair enough, but the price doesn't make sense. Getting one of these versus getting a Hubble, both have the same/similar kwh rating, but they are the same price. Apart from being environmentally friendly, what other positive am I missing? Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be arrogant, I am really asking here for help. I will need about 10kwh, so this can easily cause me to make a 60k mistake.

I'm just so sceptic of using "2nd hand" batteries. Depending on what has been refurbished though. But, looking at their 5kwh battery it is quite a lot more than what I see from other sites, going at R33k, I see a Hubble for the same price.

It's about 34k (Hubble) vs 26k (PT US3000C). To double up it's about 18k extra. And then you still only have 3.6kwh x 2, giving you 7.2. Then I would almost want to rather say go the HinaESS or Shoto, they are about 27k each, double them up and you end up with 10.24kwh, and not just 7.2. Man there's just no clear path ha ha.

That's some very important infor to chew on, @mzezman, thank you. So on price vs discharge I need to look at 1C, specifically if I want to go one battery only. So right now I am eyeing a DEYE 5kw inverter, and a Hubble 5.12kwh battery. And a couple of solar panels. That should put us on our way. It's nice looking at the bundles, build the design, and get them to install it too. My hope to get everything from one place seems impossible though. Thanks again!

Hi there Just had a re-advance approved, I have about 140k to spend on a starter system, or at least, that's what I want to spend. I am aiming at beating loadshedding, beating Eskom is not VIP in my list right now. But getting the system up quickly is of importance. But I am very much n00b. From the inverter side it seems Deye is the better one. Any brands I should stay away from? If I stick with www.solar.co.za which is the better battery? Dyness, BYD, Shoto, CFE, Pylontech? I am thinking 5kw inverter, a 5kwa battery, and 6 panels for now. Geysers and a/c and pool will remain on Eskom. It's really about having light, and music / TV. The stove is gas already. But I'd prefer to just buy all at one place, and just let them sort the install and config out as well.
