Goodwe with a Lithium battery (R20k + R15k)

Where does one get a Goodwe for R20k?
Because that is a serious game changer.

TTT and Plonkster will preach Victron at every oppertunity

We are the minority, want to grow "the flock", make it more Victronnie than Axpertie. 🙂

start with a single 2.4 kWh Polyntech  , see how far that gets you for now....

Budget is always an issue, because I also want to say that if you plan to add solar than I wouldnt recommend an Axpert .......

If you only want an UPS type setup with no solar - Axper with a Lithium battery will work

If you want some return on the investment then you need solar with a Hybrid inverter.

Cheapest way to start out is probably a Goodwe with a Lithium battery (R20k + R15k)

Then you can start adding panels...

 

 

Where do you recommend getting it from at these prices?

that said there are many people selling new on gumtree. a lot of scammers also

Yes there are scammers all over, even FB. 🙂

2nd hand Victron stuff, check the purchase date. The warranty follows the product, not the 1st owner. Get the invoice from the seller.

Very clever way of ensuring a 2nd hand market if you ask me. 

EDIT: I have owned 2nd hand Victron equipment, and have sod it on, over the years. Never once a regret.
