[QUOTE="Family_Dog, post: 1185962, member: 82"] My system comprises a Victron 10kW Inverter, 20 x 455w JA Solar Panels and 8 x Pylontech 5kW batteries, so 40kW battery power. The Victron can accept a second AC input source and I do have a gennie available. But I have never bothered with it, my system is 100% for 99% of the time. If we experience a week or so of rainy overcast weather and the battery charge runs low, I can top it up with AC Mains power but this might happen only 3 or 4 times a year, if even that often. I would personally consider additional batteries and panels before using a gennie for a system such as yours. My 200-litre geyser has its own solar setup, this was installed many years back when Eskom granted rebates for doing so. I have never yet had to switch the geyser circuit breaker on. -F_D [/QUOTE]
