Thanks guys will keep that in mind. Let's say I do go for the Victron 5kva or Infinisolar 5kw How many batteries would one look at to start with, or shall I ask how much will it cost? 😂 Panels can come at a later stage I guess.

Would you recommend the 5kva Easysolar?

Hi all, Wow so much information here, but for me who is uneducated in this field, hope you don't mind all the questions (even the stupid ones) I would like to gradually install a Off-grid system to carry us through Load-shedding and even longer periods if need at a later stage. Will a Victron 3kva easysolar and batteries be a good start? Or am I aiming for something too expensive? I have a 9kva generator as backup. Would like to run all my power outlets and lights when loadshedding is upon us. Lots of led down lights, quite a few led flood lights outside, 4 fridges, 3 freezers, 5 led TV etc Aircons, geysers, and rest like kettle, tumble dryer, ice maker and stove won't be used. Hope all this makes sense.
