[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 914377, member: 746"] Its probably personal choice. I fitted a 8kVA inverter and PV panels in 2015, with 10 x 105 a/h batteries. At night it (just) lasts 2.5 hours. During the day there is no problem, since the incoming current from the sun is 3 times what I draw (like right now, the power has been off for 45 mins) But it was huge hassle setting it all up A friend has a Honda 2KW petrol inverter, cost just under R50k. This to my mind is a good solution, but you need somewhere outside to keep it. Much simpler though. Shut the door and you can hardly hear it. It runs for 8 hours on a tankful of petrol [/QUOTE]
