Equipment for new basic installation

Featured Replies

Hello all,

Looking at installing a basic system to see me over when Eskom has a lie down - basically a 5kw inverter and one 5kw battery at this stage. Panels will come later in the year.

I've been quoted for Deye and SunSynk inverters and Volta and Hubble batteries. Victron has not been offered (for whatever reasons).

Are the brands above all good to use, or avoid?

Thanks for helping this newbie. 🙂

@Stabes 

They all very good products when installed competently and scaled correctly towards your needs. 

Do you wish for a Victron quote? , theres members on the forum that can point you in the required direction. @Steve87is one supplier I can think of. 

I started with a Sunsynk 5 and the Hubble AM2 and added panels later. 2 years later and I'm still happy. Had some issues with a dead cell in the Hubble, but the entire cell pack were replaced under warranty without problems.
