    Dear All Hope all fantastic. We are looking into the feasibility of bringing a product to the forum. The LiFePO4 Energy Box with full TUV certifications among others. The Model and content is rough at the moment. But Take a look. Pricing sits at about R55,000 Excl . Very Steep. However I wonder if there is a market for this that I can bring to the forum members? How does this rate vs the TELSA and Freedom Won. More specs to come soon. Thanks Guys do let know and your feelings of this product. Sincerely, Jason

    Hi Guys. I was doing some market research as a High offering for solar. We have made contact with SUNPOWER overseas. They have the E20 panel at a very high price of R14.20 per. ZAR/Wp. On these premium 327W Beasts. Have a look at the attachment. I am wondering if this is something worth while to put on the store? I am doubtful as its double the price of a "normal panel" , But thought I would post it for conversation sake. Let know what you all think. It is beautiful however!

  19. Started by KLEVA,

    Hi All Is anyone interested in 4 month old Ca/Ca batteries. 2 are brand new (just been replaced by supplier). The last one is still undergoing review and might be replaced by the supplier if faulty. As I have come to realise, these are not ideal for my full time use as I am using them with constant cycling, and my Invertor isn't able to deliver a proper equalising charge (63V). These would make ideal and powerful standby units (have a much lower standby discharge rate than normal lead acid) for a backup system (using an Invertor or large UPS). Ca/Ca batteries don't sulphanate easily, so a equalisation charge on standby is probably only needed every 6+ month…

  25. On my small holding I want to power the energizer for my electric fence purely with solar, no inverter needed. Energizer supposedly uses about 27 Watts. Nemtek wanted to sell me 140W panel and 100AH battery at exorbitant prices. Energizer can pull up to 40 watt. Any offers in centurion, midrand area? I think 100Ah is to small to ensure long life, battery should last at least 3 years.
