8.5kw Grid-tie system help

Featured Replies

Hi guys

I need some advice my dad is in the market for a 8.5kw grid tie system he uses 3 phase power at his house in marble hall limpopo please give me some recommendations and reputable installers that will be willing to do the job his house is +-200km from pretoria about 100km from middelburg mpumalanga. He would like to cut on his utility bill. 

He uses a generator for backup when no power is available.

Please let me know if you can assist.

Andriesmalan, how did you go about determining the 8.5kW size? Does it refer to the peak load required to be covered?

You size your bank for ah you need over time. You size your panels to be able to charge the bank and carry the load. You size your inverter based on the max load you need at any point in time.

Hi Andries, 

 

Did you ever come right with this? Marble Hall isn't very far ;)
