Ok, qualified electrician told us to do it this way for ease of use. been doing it for 5 months now, no hassle. And if you have open live wires laying around the house you have bigger problems than this i would think.

Powerful, can run fridges, microwaves and fridges and I had no issues running LED Tvs, Desktop PC and Laptops. Sevice kits starts from R150 last time I check.
Dislike: Noisy. Chinglish User Manual. Mislabled choke.
Edit: Relatively Cheap: R8995 now, last year this time it was R7995.
Oops, was in a MS Teams meeting, I got this inverter from Powerforum-store:That is not an inverter

Just to add this is the cable they created to connect the genny. It uses 2 x 25 amp plugs which came with the genny:Ok, qualified electrician told us to do it this way for ease of use. been doing it for 5 months now, no hassle.

5 years for batteries? You sure ?
With 15 kVA you can probably run the neighbour's house and their pool too...
With lithium you're looking at 5 years minimum, even if you cycle it daily. If not it'll be even longer.
The house, new to us, has two electric geysers excluding the electric geyser in the garage which isn't used, two ovens, two fridge/freezers, under floor heating, CCTv, electric fence, alarm, pool, two fountains, etc. in addition to the usual lighting.
This is a point I was about to type, anything with 200 cycles are so is going to die very quickly with the current level of loadshedding, life would be in months vs years.
A generator needs to cover the loads and charge the battery. Luckily, you can limit the gen input to whatever on the sunsynk.
Yes, please don't do this, pay the extra R1k or so for a proper cutover switch, you are playing with fire doing a reverse feed.Ok, qualified electrician told us to do it this way for ease of use. been doing it for 5 months now, no hassle.

5 years is decent then. Depending on cost of course. Is it theoretical or have you actually had lithium batteries that lasted 5 years+
I need one of these .. but at 0db please.. sigh
