Hi all, My Efergy no longer works and to be honest it was never really reliable. I am looking for something to monitor the electricity consumption of the flat. I need something that can give me an accumulative value, either by hour / day / week or month. Any suggestions please, also I am on a budget.

Where? Been looking and not one seems to have stock. In fact I don't mind DIY, in that I will assemble...

Very limited so normal acid, with option change later. Panels should be bare minimum to provide charge carry load for laptop and internet

Now to try and find one without having to wait 6 weeks

Nope, I just asked. I see the supplier has stock at least.

If I may ask, why the Must inverter?

Looks like the "Plus" variant only?

This is looking more and more like a load shedding Plus solution. I can run my home office and CCTV off this. I have solar geyser and gas. I may just consider the fridge if and when necessary.

Surely I could connect solar panels to this to charge batteries and / or run my load? Priority on running load? Or is this Inverter not "clever enough" Reading the manual now, and it looks like it can be connected to PV...

4-6 weeks, yikes

This stage 6 is going to be too long for basic systems. Not enough time to recharge

Did you see one somewhere that I could look at?

how does the geewiz compare with the Axpert VM2? https://www.geewiz.co.za/long-run-ups-inverter-battery/123033-geewiz-2400va-inverter-trolley-2x-100ah-batteries-8-hour-battery-life-kit-1440w-150-200-cycles.html?sfdr_ptcid=2961_617_657962698&sfdr_hash=ba129d5de1b4751e429086393c6b1593&gclid=CjwKCAjw4JWZBhApEiwAtJUN0Iw5NMklJR9ByE3a_2ElLmP45onN5Zu_9yi9PuIOOUp8mZOAczCt6hoCPfcQAvD_BwE I forgot to mention I need to power my PC as well, no good having internet without a PC 😉

Hi @Singh GPhow many cycles have those batteries been through? They are generally only 150-200? Oh and is this still available?

Lots of valuable advice here, thanks guys
