I don’t have a charger. My UpS chargers them but it takes a while, hence I want solar to do it for me during the day.

I know there are models out there that you can connect solar panels to them as well which will help you with loadshedding during the day.
Cant remember where i saw them
Pinging @RedViking for assistance here, I know he has something like this

That'll be interesting to see how you connect solar panels to your existing UPS.
An idea here would be to connect an MPPT charge controller over to your existing UPS batteries.
Then also connect solar panels but in the line you have a break where you have a 220v relay that is connected also to your main output at wall socket.
If there is 220v at the wall then the relay is in off position meaning solar panels are NOT connected to the MPPT.
If there isn't 220v at the wall the relay is in on position meaning solar panels are connected to MPPT which will then in return charge your UPS whilst there is loadshedding during the day.
Not rocket science.
We did a similar setup here at work recently.
On our trucks
When truck stops and switched off the relay goes to on position and a little 50w on the roof trickle charges to the MPPT on truck batteries.
When truck starts the relay goes to off position to switch off panel going to MPPT and then get charge from alternator
 
I still chuckle at the free "mask" I got from them last year, great idea until you looked at it. Single peace of course fabric with slits to slide your ears into.

Packaging was fine though. Their customer service and systems were fantastic.

Are GeeWiz still affiliated with Payflex? Geewiz is listed as a partner on Payflex's website but I don't see an option to pay using Payflex on Geewiz's website.
 
How long do they normally take to ship been waiting 2 weeks now for the Ellies ups.

All my orders went through the next day, but I suppose that was because they had stock on hand at the suppliers or with themselves. Phone a friend? Send an email?

The website said in green, in stock.

So it's misleading.
