How does Pylontech distribution work here? Is there a main importer/distributor that the places we see online get stock from OR what we see online is those guys importing themselves? I can't believe the non interest i've found in the last week of people not following up on a potential sale, I also see like R4k difference in price of 1 unit between 1 place to another.(that's ruling out the dodgiest one) Looking for a resellers list so i might find someone with some go in them - anyone know where i can find one? Drop R200 by a robot here people would almost kill themselves to grab it, try spend 60K people can't be bothered following up - I find it insane

Took a ride out to Current Automation & that Schneider Conext is same pricing as the blue box's & is a import to get here & a export to fix so that's off the list. They can pull in a Multiplus II 48/5000 so thinking to go that way. With a clamp meter on 2 breakers it looks like average load i can sit about 8A but to run luxuries for a few minutes i can push 14A (230x14 = 3220) so a 3000 is like i thought a bit on the under side. At the moment for batts i need to find out some more but wondering if i have the insanity to maybe try going with one of those revov 10kwh 2nd life units , that or ditch that idea & go pylon but lighter kwh. Being a noob i'm wondering if that 2nd life route is such a hot idea. Any sponsorship for guinea pigs around here?

Thanks, If that's correct that would open a lot more doors not having to worry about that side, I don't know the details but thought as soon as one went near the DB with a cable that we fell into that SSEG. Would you have any opinion on the Conext inverters? Was fishing around last night and saw these specs here that would suit me better than what the blue box's do. Yet to get some price idea or availability on it but being able to have a continuous 3400 with ability to go to 4000 for 30 mins would be me covered i think

Hi Guys, been doing a crash course reading up what i can for which way would be a reasonable way to step into a load shedding backup system. This is for a unit in an apartment building so no PV future likely. I do have a gennie stashed but it would never pass coc being in a building like this where it cannot be fixed install & it is also v-o-v but i do have it should long outages hit. Most of my draw is from running a fishtank where i'm responsible to keep the critters i keep alive, 2 hours on /off isn't much of a problem but i don't see this Eskom issue going away anytime soon so think it is time to sort something out, not just for that but for ourselves as well. Using this 3kva gennie i have it will run what i need (constant 2.8kva output on paper) For inverter i'm thinking a 3000 that will do a constant 2400 might be a bit border line so was thinking more a 5000 unit. Most seem to rate the Victron units in high regard so was looking at them versus the like's of going Axpect BUT i also see with the like's of Cape Town where they haven't managed to hit the approved list so that's another angle in the back of my decision making should that virus spread which it is bound to (I'm KZN). Multiplus 48/5000/70-100 = R27500 exc QUATTRO 48/5000/70 = 28122 exc MultiPlus II 48/3000/35-32 = 12794 exc With neither the Multiplus or the Quattro on the approved list would it be wiser to maybe go with 1 x multiplus II that is approved with the intention to add another & still be under the cost of the Multiplus or Quattro. You think that would be the smarter move to make? Is that just a simple cable attachment to parallel 2 or is there hidden complications i don't know about whilst considering that ? Would anyone advise a differant brand inverter to take a look into?
