And how much did your setup cost?

From my calculations I use between 280-380 kWh per month. That's about 10- 13 per day. Not sure if I'm doing it right but that's what I get.

Before I continue, I'd just like to thank you for being so helpful and informative. So the Victron would need batteries to act as another inverter in my house, and that is then combined with solar panels to charge it when there's no Eskom power or if I'd prefer to not use Eskom at all, correct? How does one calculate what number of batteries you'd need to power your house comfortably?

Thanks! I've read that the Mecer inverters have a loud and persistent fan noise, what brand would you advise for more silent operation?

Will a PC be affected by this plonkster? My home theatre system is just a desktop PC with TV as a screen

Should I be worried about modified sine wave Vs true sine wave invertors? Will modified damage my appliances?

Thank you for the reply. Any suggestions on reliable models/brands?

Hello all Brought here by Eskom and it's uselessness as I'm sure most have. I'm looking into an inverter setup to power my home theatre PC, my TV and my router for the now 3 sessions of 2.5 hours load shedding Cape Town gets every day. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a quality setup? Any advice/assistance is greatly appreciated.
