Hi guys, I'm new. I installed my self a kodak og7.2 with kodak battery a little over a month ago. Currently using as only a load shedding backup but looking at being completely off grid in time. My plan is solar in the near future as soon as budget allows, then a second 5kw battery. Slowly building my system up. Till date i haven't had any problems and quite happy so far, had 2 situations where i worried about battery levels but haven't had it shut down yet. Still reading the forum gathering information but will start my questions in time. Thanks to all the guys sharing knowledge so far, it's  an informative read.

Thanks, I will do so, currently my install covers all my oulets and lights but using the grid(bypass mode) mainly and battery when power is out. Solar will help the battery when installed. Looking to start with 3 or 4 pannels, and eventually have 6+ kw on the roof.

My ideal end system will have a second inverter and 3/4 batteries with pannels covering the roof.(Dreams)
