[QUOTE="1am7h30n3, post: 1145476, member: 13860"] My 2c. It's very worthwhile adding solar panels. A 'backup' system is just a cost, you'll never get anything back from it except the satisfaction of having power for a few hours during loadshedding. A system with panels will start to pay for itself. Yes, we can debate whether it's 'worth it' or not till the end of time, but a backup system = no payback, a system with panels can pay back. Also, consider the reliability of the grid in your area, after 2x > 5 day power outages within 3 months I realized there's no backup system I could afford that can last so many days. With panels, if the sun is shining you're good to go (even if you have to reduce consumption, having fridges, internet, etc. makes a big difference). [/QUOTE]
