  1. I'm about to install an ITS 4,5kW Super Heat Pump to my 200L geyser. This is the latest model(the super series) with WiFi and linked to an app. I did some research and for my household needs a heat pump seems to be the way to go. https://itssolar.co.za/product/4-5kw-super-its-residential-heat-pump/ I called the guys at ITS solar and they referred me to their trusted installers. They also mentioned that I should rather buy the unit from the installer for better pricing. I received 3 x quotations ( all from companies with good online reviews , as referred by ITS). Cheapest about R26000 , most expensive R33000.
  2. Much easier if you use the template. Where are you based ? #For Sale Template Item: Age: Price: Payment Method Accepted: Warranty: Packaging: Condition: Location: Reason: Shipping: Collection: Link:
  3. I've also been using my SPS 1000 for about 3 years now. It just works - no issues.
  4. Perhaps you can use something like this. Just replace the plug of one of your appliances to fit ? https://www.robofactory.co.za/smart-plugs/350-cbi-astute-smart-plug-asp.html
  5. I also suggested it in October 2020.
  6. In Order to warn others I suggest you post reviews on : https://www.facebook.com/SolarEnergyLifeSA/reviews/?ref=page_internal https://www.hellopeter.com/ https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=SolarEnergyLife#lrd=0x1e956176a83bb429:0xa57b7ea50337bb63,1,,,
  7. The above picture( last one) can be found in some overseas websites. http://www.roof101.com/solar-roofing/solar-energy.php https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/house-solar-gm501865675-43285798?irgwc=1&esource=AFF_IS_IR_TinEye_77643_&asid=TinEye&cid=IS&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=TinEye&clickid=SXEX8g32MxyLTY60Rw0UrUzuUkERH0R2D1a4xg0&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_content=435504&asset_type_keyword=_ https://lori.ru/11702387
  8. May I suggest that you also place this negative review on HelloPeter to warn more potential victims. https://www.hellopeter.com/ Also consider taking the owner to the small claims court.
  9. Great news - thanks a lot
  10. It is very frustrating browsing the classifieds section when most ads do not contain important information. Examples : no indication of area where seller reside / condition of item Some forums use a compulsory template as per example below ( this template copied from www.carbonite.co.za ) Surely something similar can be implemented here ?

  11. I am no expert and cannot comment on the setup you are looking at. Before you buy also have a look at this unit ( pure sine wave) - my father has one and he is happy with his setup. https://www.takealot.com/smart-power-trolley-1-5kva-1000w-pure-sine-inverter-ups-charger-/PLID41356450 http://smartpowersystems.co.za/ SPEC-1000.pdf
