So for BACKUP (STAGE 1) use...the Goodwe ES series 5kw will suffice partnered with the pylontech2.4kw. I ideally would want the lights, tv/dstv, cctv, alarms, gate and garage door operational, wifi/cell chargers as well. We should also accept that not all lights/tv will be ON at the same time. My fridge and freezer does /should cope with 2hr sessions of loadshedding. Fridge is energy efficient variant as well. STAGE 2 as and when the budget allows will be to compensate my monthly municipal bill thereby adding more batteries and adding panels. Does this sound more reasonable? Or am I still looking for too much with too little?

4 rooms@ 30w of led lighting = 240w2 pcs @ 100w = 200w2 tv with dstv boxes @ 300w = 600w1 wifi router + ap + switch = 100w2 usb charges (tablets, phones) @ 20w = 40w1 double door fridge/freezer @ 300w1 chest freezer @150wElectric fence, gate and alarm = 300w 1 garage door = 100w. cctv = 200w That is 2230w at full load or 1115w at half load (i.e. only half the lights and equipment which would be a normal situation). Consider that most 5kva inverters only put out 4500w, this should be sufficient should I wish to run a full load.I would rather have sufficient to run everything if needed rather than run around and say that this has to be turned off before I can use that. Would 1 x pylontech make a difference?

They will be 105ah. Loadshedding happens in 2 hour intervals twice or thrice daily

Loadshedding backup, cable theft and grid tie solar. Also have prepaid meter so we use about 60 units per day. Will have to work out kw/h.

Hi guys....was thinking around R50k budget. Goodwe ES series 5.6kw inverter and 4 x National deep cycle batteries and 6 x Canadian solar panels 330w. 4 bedroom house with essential loads of 2800w give or take. Will my system be correct? Any suggestions welcome.

Hi GUYS WANT TO START A BACKUP SYSTEM. BUDGET OF R20K-25K. NEED SOMETHING TO LAST AT MAX 4 HOURS. RUNNING 50X 5W LED BULBS, TV, DSTV, ROUTER, CCTV, 2 X PHONE CHARGERS, GATE MOTOR AND GARAGE MOTOR AND FRIDGE IF POSSIBLE. POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SYSTEM DETAILS STEP BY STEP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. WILLING TO LEARN SO BE PATIENT WITH MY CONSTANT QUESTIONS. THANKS
