Looking for a residential system of 12 KW using sunsynk / deye / victron inverter (or similar calibre) and 3-4 5KWh pylontech lithium batteries (or similar calibre). Have about m2 of roof (floorspace under roof [not including slant] need to measure properly). Also need installation in Cape Town as soon as is practical. Please provide some options on a sliding scale of cost from low to high varying the capacity (e.g. number of batteries / panels) and quality of equipment (e.g. brand of inverter / batteries). Many thanks

Here’s a more polished version: "This is a standard three-bedroom house with an open-plan kitchen and a double garage. I plan to use the inverter for the lights, TV, and fridge. Roof: Tiled The breaker distribution (BD) board is located in the living room. I would like the inverter and batteries to be installed in the same room, but on the opposite side of the wall. There is roof access to route the solar panel cables to the inverter. This is a single-house, single-phase setup."
