Solar newbie needs advice

Featured Replies

Hi, my first post here. I'm planning to move from an area that has no load-shedding to a new area that does, doesn't make sense I know... but we have our reasons.

So I primarily work from home so I need to be able to run my laptop and WiFi at bare minimum, I'm budgeting around 80k for a system, obviosly this would be overkill for my laptop and stuff, but I may I well get it done since our power issue's are definitely not going away.

I would like to get advice on a decent system that would be able to enable me to work from home as well as run my lights, fridge, freezers, CCTV, alarm and gate motor as a start during load-shedding and power outages.

I've been looking at Sunsync 5kva inverter, I'm still not sure about what battery and other items I need to buy to have this set up.

I would like advice on what the best system would be considering my budget, should I be looking at lower budget inverters (Luxpower, Must, Growatt etc), I do want something that I will be able to upgrade in future to add more capacity for running other appliances and hopefully one day go off-grid.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
