Dope

Hi everyone I need some advice on what batteries I need to get, when keeping my budget in mind. I will be getting an Axpert 3kVA inverter and would like to start off with just two 12V batteries in series. My current modified sinewave inverter has a 12V 105Ah deep cycle battery, but I plan to not use this battery again, as I know it is not recommended to mix old and new batteries. What brand/type of battery would you guys recommend for around R4000 for two batteries, or should I be looking at spending a bit more? Regards

I was thinking of getting a Axpert 3kW inverter, as it seems to meet most of my needs, its cheap and can be used with solar as well. Will definately be getting a solar geyser, just need to decide on ET or flat plate. Any recommendations?

I currently have a small modified sinewave inverter for my lights and all my electronic equipment, but I want to replace it with a pure sinwave inverter, as the current one does not properly power my TV and i thought that if I get a new inverter I might just as well get one that does solar. And that got me thinking of going more onto solar, but I need some advice on if it would be worth the expense?

Hi everyone I am planning on going solar, but I don't know if it will be worth it in my case, as our monthly electricity usage is around 400kWh. Will it be worth the expense of getting a solar geyser and some PV panels, batteries and inverter? I had a look at prices and they look like this: Inverter - R 9000 Solar Geyser - R4000 Some solar panels - R 7000 4 Deep cycle batteries - R8000 I can do most of the install myself as my dad is a plumber and my brother an engineer, so I can get them to do most of the work for me But is spending R28 000 really going to be worth it, if my monthly bill is only around R500? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards
