Inverter


Solar ready - has connection for PV

Batteries

More Info : This is wired into my DB. This carries my load of 1x 55Inch LED, all my lights, mesh wifi, Fiber ONT, Router and 8 port switch, 2x wall plugs for device charging for load shedding periods. Serves us well. Only reason for sale is that it's time to completely rid myself of any dependency on Eksom - or at least minimize that dependency as much as I can.

Please note : My personal warranty does not cover negligence or incorrect configuration. If you wire it up wrong and blow shit up - that's not on me. Functionality testing can be done at my house of course before collection.

FYI

How much time does this setup give you?
I get through the load shedding periods just fine. Battery usage shows around 60% on average still available after a shedding session. Charges up fully in time for the next schedule. Not sure how much longer it could go, but I reckon it could still go a bit past the usual 2.5 hour loadshed window

Erm, some of us have a 4.5 hour load shedding period, so please you'll need to be more specific

Erm, How can I be more 'specific' if the only specifics are based on my actual usage experience?

Also, how long is a piece of string? Asking a stupid question like how long will an inverter/battery config last depends on other variables. What is your load in watts? Is this load running continuously through this 4.5 hour load shedding period. Are any of the loads you want available during loadshedding singularly or combined over 1000w? If so, this solution isn't for you.

The math is pretty easy to do all on your lonesome if you have actual usage stats if you want actual answers and not something thumbsucked out of the ether.

Oh and PS: you have a 4.5 hour loadshedding window on the trot - that's got to suck :oops:
