Sinetech home battery backup - anyone have these installed

I am waiting for them to return my emails for over a week now. On Friday I tried phoning them all day and no answer ( looking for a battery cabinet ). Poor service if you ask me.
 
anyone got a quote? hate that these websites don't have pricing.
 
wont be cheap. just that module excluding batteries is listed in Europe as 5100 euros. (R60K+)

At that cost it starts to make sense to add solar into the game as your primary power source.

Total load not exceeding 400 watt? Is that the maximum limit of what the system can provide? I can't see all those appliances running at the same time without exceeding the 400 watt limit.

Edit: Sorry I see the backup time is proportionate to the load.

A year ago I paid R6.5k for my 3kw UPS + R16k for my (8) 12v100ah batteries + a cheap R500 cabinet and installation costed me R1.2k . The company I buy from is an import/export company and they source products for people on demand. So naturally they don't have overheads to factor into the cost of the goods which doesn't make them as crazy expensive as the market.

Hang on. In the "deep-cycle batteries" thread you posted you were just about to cough for 12 batteries at R2.4k each. So what happened to this expensive compilation?

For my uncle who is setting up. I bought him the same UPS I am using, but I was just looking around for batteries. I just bought them for R2.4k from Prostar as well , as no one else could get me cheaper for the same quality.
 
so no batteries that have fallen off the truck? lol. wonder what the markups are like. should have invested way back then.
