My non Kwikot units also transmit vibration, which, in turn cause a noise if vibration isolators are not used, (as does most rotating equipment that has any out of balance). Make sure the chaps that install properly isolate the unit from the mounting bracket. Things to look out for: 1. there...

Forgive me for being a skeptic but possibly stolen?

I hear you, but let me play devils advocate - maybe the high tax payers should get something back since they are the ones that pay for most for the state costs - and are most likely able to do something. Having said the above, I'm guessing you are pensioner which is why you are aggrieved? Just...

Not a great rebate, but certainly better than a kick in the teeth. It covers up to reasonable size installation - think 12x+/-550w panels (with the Rand tanking, I can't see you getting a 550w panel for under R4000 each in the near future). Ironically I think it helps those with existing systems...

Consider putting in a heat pump - cost a bit more, but will save you in the long run. Will also draw less power (leaving more of your 8kw available for other things) and provide heating similar to existing 4kw element

That is whole debate on its own - pressure to be 'a good corporate citizen' and tell everyone you support xyz or be 'a good corporate citizen' and stop interfering in politics

As long as it doesn't say 'one person at a time' when you climb on it.....

Put myself in the fridge to 'chill out' for a while - maybe I'll shrink?

I don't think the sizes have changed - at least not for me. I do think the cuts have changed. There is is this trend to 'slim fit' which makes things too small if you are overweight or carry muscle mass, so if you are not slim, you have to buy up in size I run into this occasionally with shirts...

At least on time pieces its right or its not and relatively easily measurable - S/N ratio just a function of how loud it ticks

LOL - Glad to hear you are still young - In this instance the "older folk" I was referring to were those that grew up with Vinyl. If you were "older folk" and grew up with CDs, then I'm a relic - but still want to be "younger folk"

I get the tactile thing, I agree the artwork on some album covers was awesome (can't comment on current because I haven't used LPs recently) but from a sound quality point of view, when CDs came on the scene there were definitely, for me at least, improvements in sound quality (or perhaps...

Hi All, Looking for headphones that have both wired and bluetooth input that have decent sound without a huge price tag - say between R500 and R1500 - Any suggestions please? Thanks in Advance

How much is lightning strikes a risk in your area @Wolla ? I'm in JHB so lightning is an issue here but thus far (touch wood) no issues with lightning on my 2 Sunsynk 8kw units and I've had a few very close strikes recently (though it is not for a second to say they are immune). I have load...

Yeah - The other important point - plan for expansion....

Just consider for a moment if you can actually fit double (20) the panels to that Deye inverter. I think you will exceed the max voltage for the MPPTs. Depending on the voltage of the panels the limit is about 8 or 9 panels per MPPT on that unit. FWIW, I put 9x545w Panels per MPPT on mine...

Neat setup. Get that extra battery you certainly have the panel capacity to charge more batteries. On that note - Nice to see someone maximizing the MPPTs on the Sunsynk Inverter - So often one sees smaller panels installed and wonder why they chose that configuration.

Like everyone else that has posted, I am super impressed! If they sound as good as they look, I'm sure they will give many happy hours of listening. A question though: Will you leave them on castors or will you change to spikes or some other static arrangement? Looking at your build pics, they...

Just wondering if anyone has sold a house recently with the solar system installed and how it effected the salability and price of the house - i.e. how much of you investment did you see back by way of extra house sale price. I note one forum member chose to move his solar installation from old...

I was wondering about that too. I assumed it was on the flatter section for cosmetic reasons but didn't want to 'stir' after already having made the comment re shading which might have been interpreted as being disparaging.
