[QUOTE="LouisF, post: 1161291, member: 20216"] What would a 7 kW solar system cost? The Tesup unit can be had for less than R30k but how much total cost including installation, battery(-ies) and whatever cost of CoC requirements would be I have no idea. But I am pretty sure it would be <R100k, or not? What I really love is that it operates any time, night or day, rain or shine, as long as you have wind. Which in the Strand is pretty much always. OK, >90% of the time. BUT, being mechanical, there would be wear and tear and it would probably not outlast a solar setup. It might make it easier to go off-grid with the turbine supporting your solar system at times (as in the Cape winter) when sunshine become sort of in short supply, in a manner of speaking. [/QUOTE]
