I need a 5 KV inverter as I use an average monthly kWh of around and a planned increase occasionally of up to kWh per month. Then solar panels and batteries to enable that level of solar power. I need 12 LED dimmable downlighters and 2 non dimmable LED downlightables to replace halogen downlighters. My North facing pitch roof the IBR roofsheeting is 6.6m long and 11.4m wide. I have a storeroom to store the batteries, inverter etc. Just one person living at the house with long term economic usage of electricity. Must go off grid and able to increase the solar power of the house at a later date. Main house is 11.4m x 10.69m. Second smaller building of 46m2 apart from the storeroom is not used. I have a litre solar geyser and a cold water pressure inlet pump and hot water pump as we use boreholes for our water/ live in rural area. Enough power to run a 8kg Bosch frontloader washing machine on eco mode. Use of laptop, TV,cellphone phone charge and toaster Water heating g and cooking are on gas.

My household comprises of 5 adults and 3 toddlers. The home is a 4 bedroom home with a 2 room flatlet in the back yard. Typically we use approximately units of electricity every month. The only item of high electricity consumption is the geyser, which remains on 24/7. Cooking is done with gas stove. The electric oven is only occasionally used for baking. Other items which we require continous electricity for are: 2 normal sized freezers, 2 door fridge, washing machine, electric gate, WiFi router, TV, and basic lights and plugs. No airconditioning nor any other electricity intensive use appliances. I would like quotation for full off grid installation 👍
Electrician is missing in action... 2dbs to be connected, wiring, lights and plugs to be installed and COC to be issued. Please I have paid alot to the contractor who I paid but did not deliver as per the agreement. I can therefore not afford a brand new installation. I need someone to continue and issue a coc.
I am looking for a qualified electrician with an electrical qualification and a trade test to inspect a CT meter and assess if any tampering has occurred. The role will involve a thorough check of the meter, followed by a detailed report of the findings. This report will be used to provide accurate feedback to my client, so attention to detail and expertise in handling CT meters are essential. If you are available and interested, please let me know, and we can discuss further details.
