Load Shedding Solution Now + Solar Later

Featured Replies

Afternoon All.

I know there is a thread similar to this below.

I have just ordered a very basic system from Steve and was wondering who would you recommend to install.

Its a 5.5 kW Sunsyk with 1 Hubble 5.5 battery.

I am based in Cape Town. Not sure when the equipment will arrive but would like to have it connected up ASAP.

The plan is to have solar put up at a later stage as I am still struggling to figure out the best way to utilize my roof space. ( Its a small townhouse ) 

I think it would be a simple install. I have 2x light circuits and 3x plug circuits. 

Thanks all

Thanks for the recommendations!

Peter said he could not help as the equipment was not bought from him.

Steve from the store recommended someone to me and he popped in and installed everything.

Now I need to do the solar. 

I have very limited roof space. 

 

I was thinking of putting up 6x 540 watt panels as they would just fit. 
Alternatively I could go for 7x 380 watt panels. 

I have been trying to get someone out for over a month to see what can be done but everyone is too busy. The electrician said he can install if I buy the items. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to get? I would like to maximize the solar but I do understand I will be limited.
