[QUOTE="LouisF, post: 1103707, member: 20216"] Please pardon if this is a stupid question, but apart from ridding oneself of the inconvenience of load shedding, what is the main motivation for going solar? I can't see how I would ever save the outlay cost of an off-grid system in electricity-cost saving. Keeping my money in a savings account and rather stay on-grid seems to me a better proposition. At the end of my stay in my current home I shall still have the amount the system would cost in my savings account. The only problem is of course tax on my annual interest earned, but there are ways to minimise that. Oh, and I have to add that I would be moving to a retirement facility where I will rent the property in 5 (?) year's time. [/QUOTE]
