How big a solar power system do I need?
Find the right solar system size for your SA home. Our guide shows you how to calculate panel & battery needs to beat load shedding and high Eskom bills.
We would like a hybrid system with minimum use from Mogale City. Our current electricity bill is less than R per month. Our neighbours all run 8KVH systems with various configurations mostly with 2x 5 lithium batteries. All seem to have limitations when the weather is poor, even though some have many panels. We cannot have a period where we are powerless as my daughter and partner work from home and are heavily reliant on the Internet and computers.
Good day I'd like a quote on the following please, considering upgrading my current system. 1. Deye 8kw hybrid inverter 2. Deye SE-F 16kwh battery 3. Deye 5.12kwh batteries x2 4. 6 x solar panels 5. Installation I currently have 6 x watt panels up all east face, the new string id like on a north facing part of my roof, is a small outside flat and it has corrugated metal roof its flat. Looking at the cost and will decide what I can afford on the battery side. Thanks
Prepaid PDOM meter, R p/m spend, sm home, start with grid-tied daytime self0consumption (zero-export option), future battery upgrade. Hybrid ready inverter from day one, Exact SSEG process and meter conversion timeline/cost, site visit for roof assessment. installation up to 4 weeks, stage payments/rent-to-own
I have a north facing 50m2 roof. Ideally looking to cover the roof with 16-20 panels (whatever fits) with a 10kw inverter and batteries to match the capacity... Need certified installers who will ensure complete compliance with City of Tshwane requirements for prepaid meter hybrid system installation.
I already have an installed AlphaESS Smile G3 S5 Inverter with 10kwh battery. I have no solar panels installed yet. I have the capacity to install 6 solar panels (>pW). What I need from you: 1. Provide solar panels and all roof installation hardware 2. Wiring 3. Connection to inverter and inverter setup 4. Mock up or example to show my body corporate prior to installation 5. Certification Please let me know if you can assist Kind regards

The project will power everything excluding the geyser and stove. Also, it will be on top of the car port and not on the roof of the house. Bought the solar panel (5KW), the battery (7.56 kWh) and 6 solar panels including the brackets and rails. What’s missing is the combinerbox/ inverter DB board plus the cables.
please contact via tex messages only To the Sales Team, I am looking for a competitive quote for four separate solar installations at our complex in Newlands. All four units are identical in design and roof layout. Project Scope: Quantity: 4 identical residential systems. Goal: Load-shedding protection and partial grid independence. Property Type: Residential Complex. Timeline: I need to receive initial quotes or have site visits scheduled by this Monday or Tuesday if possible The roof size needs to be professionally measured on-site to determine the maximum panel capacity, as we want to optimize the available space for the highest possible yield. We are looking for high-efficiency panels and a reliable inverter/battery setup.Do you have availability for a site visit tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday? Location: Senan Street / CT Please let me know your earliest availability for a technician to come through. Best regards,
I’m am looking at 8 panels and on a garage roof and about 8 to 10 panels on a tiled thatch roof. The thatch roof will require structural changes to support the panels on the tiled roof. Because of the shape of the roof which cause irregular shading I will also need micro inverters to be installed. I have a Victron inverter and two Dyness 5kw batteries installed. I would need a further Victron 5kw inverter and one more Dyness battery.
I work for an electrical company and my boss needs the best prices on a few items to do a Solar installation. I am looking for quotes but businesses that I am contacting won't get back to me with a quote. If you could assist me, I would appreciate it. A new client got referred to us through your website. Items I need prices on are the following: 1x kw SigEnergy 3 phase inverter or similar 5x 12kw SigEnergy Batteries or similar x w Aiko solar panels or similar
