Luminous Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 TTT are you refereing to blue Victron? If that is the case, by starting small I am going with the cheaper route to get started even though my inverter is blue it is not "that" blue.

Hey, where ya'll gone now!? :-P I am sure they are all back to work to pay for that blue luxury. But in all honesty, this is a start as a hobby while I have some cash flow to plan for later when more expenses creep in. Don't have kids currently but while I have some cash to start building a system that can benefit us at a later stage. Started off with a 500w 12v pure sine wave ups and 8 ups batteries. Back in 2015 when load shed started. Then upgraded to 2 x 105 ah deep cycle batteries for the ups. Then upgraded to a 600w 24v pure sine wave inverter with 4 x 105ah deep cycle batteries. Stayed in a apartment and could not do anything with solar or bigger inverter. That kept be going but now it is time for bigger. Latest addition is a grid tie inverter - Kstar Omega KSG 4k that has a 4000w 2 string input MPPT controller. Chris Hobson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
