I have a Growatt ES inverter and a 5KWH battery which can handle our night time usage. In want to install enough solar panels to be able to supply most of my needs. I have 3 roofs, I have shown the 2 flat parts on the attached image (in red). The main roof is East /West facing and about a 45 deg slope. The address is 99 Hopley Rd, Table View.
I have a east/west facing roof and have a 8kw inverter with lithium batteries installed, I am needing a quote on a solar panel array installation.
Need between 3 to 5 KWH system - grid tied. Already have solar geyser installed. Must be able to run fridge freezer PC and laptop and wifi and a couple of lights. Installer must be accredited to SAPVIA. Our roof is tiled and in good condition.

I am helping someone who wants solar panels installed at his house.
I am looking to install the Quatro Victron System with 24x watt Canadian Solar Panels to ensure that I am almost self sufficient from an electrical supply point of view. I have North facing roof space to handle these Solar Panels and have set up conduits and an extra DB Board for Solar power supply. I would also like to be in a position to provide electricity back into the grid when this facility is available in the Knysna area
To use solar panels for lights and plugs during load shedding.
I have imported a 10kw 96 volt hybrid inverter with 12 solar panels, this is to match my 2x 48 lithium battery packs. the inverter has been set to the parameter of my battery/s. this will be installed in my garage as I am near completion on building my own electric car. hence 96 volt batteries. a cable will have to be placed approx 10m to the main board on the right of the house. please view the attachment of the house. possibly a quote could be made on what you view in the picture - the panels are by and the roof is tiled with vertical rafters spaced out +- a meter apart (ie ^ meter ^ meter ^ meter ^ and so on) The main house is north facing but since its hybrid inverter im not to phased about the panels being dead on north and there is no space on the main house
