Okay, if I buy a panel every second month and after I got 6 panels then get a inverter what's next ? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Thanks guys you have really opened my eyes. I now see that if I want to save money on power solar is not the cheapest way to go. I still would like to buy the solar components one at a time when I have the money to do so. What's your advice on the first thing to buy? Inverter, charge controller, solar panels and or battery bank. I know the cables and fuses would be the last thing to get. My electrician friend will do the wiring for a bottle of Bells which I give him after the job. Lol Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

No I have not bought anything as yet. I'm trying to figure the right way to get started Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

I'm on the north coast of Durban plenty of sun but I do want to run just my geyser on eskom. Gas stove. LED lighting in the house. I would need a qualified electrician to set that up. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Wow more things to think about [emoji15] Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

I think first I need to calculate my power usage without my geyser and then I will be able to size the right battery bank. Is that right ? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Thanks for your feed back. I'm looking at going off grid but only having my geyser on the municipality supply. So not sure what type of batteries to get? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk
