.....even with a decent solar system a 6 hour cut is now also a problem.....passed out during the extended black out last night fearing running any axillary battery back up after seeing the load shedding schedule for today....we were off at 6am until 8h30.....then according to the status quo of only getting back to "wage negotiation" today ....will get the big cut from 14.00hr to midnight ..... one would have to have in access of 10kva of battery back up....which equates to min 4X2.4kva batteries @R12K each and a solar array of more than 12 340W panels @3-4K each and 2 solar controller invertors @ R12K per pop.....but the worse thing about this is trying to find an installer that wont rip you off with shitty equipment a big promises worthless guarantee's no back up .....but a big fee and will never be seen again....:ohmy: .
And likely Chinese made...China pushing solar panels as the Western world gets hooked into the green craze but China building more coal power stations...and not subject to climate agreeements...
Some people are making a lot of money from pushing the green craze to China's benefit...
