Great to be able to join the forum.

My current focus is to get a PV setup to drive some of the daily load. 

Currently   I have 4 Fiamm 180ah  batteries configured in two banks of 24 volt  with 24v Tescom SSPRO Solar MPPT 3KVA, (no PV panels) that drive some key Equipment for the home office , TV and lights.  I also still have a   Microcare 24v 2.5kw  Inverter system not connected.

My objective for now is to drive some of the key equipment, aircon (1kw), Office Equipment(1kw), Pool pump(1.1kw), possible 1kw into water heating = total of apox 5kw planned.

I do not want to run this off batteris, the batteries option it is only for backup lights, tv, some office equipment under loadshedding, but I am thinking of solar PV system to power the 5kw during the day, also keep the batteries charged for power outages.

Due to the maximum Solar power for the Tescom of  1200W, I am thinking of upgrading to a 48v system. (will most likely sell the Tescom and the mirocare 24v units  to fund some of the cost for a 48v system)

For  camping I have a 125W solar panel, with a BlueSolar MPPT 75/15, connected to a 105ah deep cycle 12v battery
