I can get a set of 24 x 2V cells for R53,000 (New) which includes all the connectors and a watering system. The cells are First National MTL19XF 585A/h. In underground conditions these batteries last for 5 years plus in very harsh conditions. I know of someone with a similar set on his farm that have been running now for 25 years powering ,fridges, lights and security systems. Will Pylontech work with my Mercer inverters? I doubt that Pylontech will be cheaper for the same A/h.

My grid tied system was installed in August 2017 consisting of 2 x 5kW (48V) Mercer inverters with 18 x 310W (3 strings of 3 per inverter) solar panels and 4 x Shoto 12V, 200Ah batteries in series. I want to go totally off-grid and are considering replacing the battery set with 24 x 2V, 585Ah mining locomotive batteries (FNB MTL19XF) which I can purchase for a very good price. My energy consumption is on average 1300kWh per month. Stove and geyser already on gas. Would this be wise to do? Your expert advice will be appreciated.
