No, I haven't seen that post but I'll have good read over it. I did read about SA requiring an approved installer. Sadly PV for us isn't an option, house faces the wrong and won't be worth it. Thanks for the advise!

Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for letting me know. I think I'm wrong with the cylinder only using 2KwH. I can't remember were 2KwH fits into the cylinder's running costs, I need to re-visit calculations. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi All, I'm looking at replacing my hot water cylinder, it's 100L but i'm looking at getting around 200L+ for my needs. Sunamp have caught my eye because they take up less space and by the sound of it they are much much more efficient & compact. However, I have a few questions. At the moment my cylinder is on a timer to heat up from 5am - 6am & 5pm - 6pm. Using the grid Sunamp can I still control it on a timer and how long will it take to charge/heat up? the assumption is, the heat battery is cold. My cylinder takes about 30/60 mins to heat up and uses about 2KwH. how much to the grid versions cost to run? Sorry for the direct questions, hope they make sense and thanks in advance. Thanks, Doug
