[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1036370, member: 746"] It works out quite expensive when you start to add the "little" things 4 to 8 PV panels Connectors and cables MPPT solar inverter Lithium-Ion battery Altering your DB so the inverter powers certain circuits Getting it done and written off by a certified electrician You can program the inverter to use "Solar first". This means it will draw current from the PV panels when available. When the PV current drops off, it will augment this from the battery. When there is no more PV power, it bypasses and draws power from the municipal supply. If there is no municipal supply (as in load-shedding) it takes it from the battery The expensive part is the battery (about R32k) followed by the MPPT inverter (R8k). I imported 5 MPPT inverters from China in 2015 [/QUOTE]
