If you’re spending between R1800 and R2800 a month on electricity, you’ll need a 5kW kit. And if you’re spending between R2900 and R4300 a month on electricity, you’ll need an 8kWh kit. You can work out your needs based on your monthly electricity spend on the product page of a kit you are interested it. Simply add your average monthly bill amount in the space provided on the top right of the kit page.
The good news is that solar panels can be installed on just about any roof type, but the installation process and mounting hardware might vary from material to material.

We are in a dual living house with 2 adjoined units. Unit 2 already has a Victron 3kw inverter with sufficient solar panels and lithium iron batteries. We wish to add a second Victron 3Kw inverter with related solar panels (installed on a flat roof) to unit 1. We already have the required lithium iron batteries currently supporting an invertor that is to be discarded. We hope to have the 2 Victron invertors connected in series to work together? Is this possible? We also need a compatible generator to allow us to go off-grid.
