    Hi Eveyrone
    1. I am a complete novice to solar. I have read some very useful information on the forum and it has been very enlightening. Thank very much. I want to get some advice because the load-shedding is really killing me and I need to get a solution rather quickly. I have saved about R85K. I can only break the bank if I must top this up. I want to work within this budget if possible.
    2. I want to start with a 5kva inverter to to cover the essentials in my house that  From the information I have gathered so far, I am inclined to go with a 5kv SUNSYNK HYBRID INVERTER (R24 029) because it got better reviews than the Axpert rivals- better features and a 5y warranty vs 3y warranty for the Axperts. However, its double the price of the Axpert rival. I did not get the specific brand of the Axpert which can give the Sunsynk some serious competition. Maybe someone can help me with that. 
    3. Which battery is better the Hubble 5.5KWH battery (R29 466) with about 3 500 cycles vs Pylontech UP5000 4,8KWH ( R26 766) with 6 000 cycles? A friend of mine thinks that the Hubble is better than the Pylontech. Is that true?
    4. 6 Haital 545W Half-cell monocrystalline solar panels @ R3 619/ piece will cost me R21 717. Is this a good brand? Is there different  brand that is competitive both on quality and  price to the Haital?
    5 The electrician will charge me on average R10K.  All the necessary cabling is not included. Can get my starter solar kit with my budet?
    6. Can you please advise me on doing the decent installation for a tight budget of R85K including installation costs?
    Please help me simplify my task and get me onto a decent escape plan from load-shedding. I live in JOHANNESBURG SOUTH, 2190.
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated. 
    Looking forward to your considered expert advice.
    Deon
