  1. Hi, thank you for the feedback and my apologies for only seeing the post now. Update from my side. I am glad to see SA has stopped the loadshedding and unfortunately for me we have now 17hours a day. I am actually looking at the vito system either 6.2kva or the 8kva. I see some good combo deals on Bob shop for the vito combo. My concern is with only 4-6hrs grid power I do not think it will be enough time to charge the 5.2 lithium battery? Or will it? Some deals they only giving 4 x 450w mono panels which I am not sure will that be enough sunlight energy to charge the battery and provide power for a TV and wifi during the day or should I rather buy bigger w panels example 4 x 550w.

  3. Hi all, I need some advice for you all. My country has started 12hr loadshedding (6hrs off, 6 on, 6 off and 6 on) and I want to buy solar system. I'm looking at vito 10.2kva hybrid inverter and 2 x 5.2 lithium batteries or 8.2kva hybrid and the 2 x batteries. My question is 1. will the batteries have enough time to charge 2 x 6hrs split or must I buy solar panels as well. 2.Also the roof space is not big (maybe 4- 6 panels will fit) will 4 panels be enough?. 3. Should I go for 8.2kva or 10.2kva (just want the lights and TV and phone charging) 4. Should I buy 5kva and more batteries?
