[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1111220, member: 746"] My one is fairly simple, not at all in the same league as Gerlach In 2015, fitted 4 x 300 watt panels and a 4kW inverter. In 2018 bought a 100 a/h lithium battery. A sub-board, earth leakage and changeover switch I fitted everything myself and had a tame electrician to inspect and issue a COC The total cost was R 61 000,00 There is also a solar water heater (20 evacuated tubes) This paid for itself in 2019 as the electric bill went down by 55% The annual savings increased as the electricity price went up and the increase has accelerated recently. In the last 18 months the saving is R 19000,00 and just went up a bit more with the July increase The next step are 2 of the highest wattage panels I can find. Currently Solar Solve has 545 watt panels for about R4000 each [/QUOTE]
