[Gazza308]

Yeah but check the grid hookup contracts and rates. Most of the new installs the grid suppliers are under no obligation to take your excess power and if they do they’ll pay you peanuts for it so unless you get batteries or run everything during the day when it’s hottest you won’t see nearly as big of a saving as you should

yeah and to many people getting solar grid cant keep up with volts wich means power cant be fed into grid so any power not being used or stored is lost

That’s even if they take it. SA won’t take new solar grid inputs from residential PV because the grid apparently can’t handle it. They also want existing and future pv systems to have a remote switch so they can stop panels pumping into the grid if it “can’t cope”. They should probably just invest in grid stability and large scale storage options like kinetic batteries or pumped hydro.

So in other words waste of fkn money.

Only if you putting the excess into the grid. Batteries are where you make the most savings with solar

Pretty much unless your on the older rates locked in like I am 54c-66ckw
