  4. I have wondered if painting your homes roof white will reflect some heat?
  5. Thanks Gustavo. Awesome info.
  6. Thanks wetkit. What an awesome post. Are the water radiators in the house effective as a space heater? L
  7. Hi Guys Whag is the best way to use solar for space heating? It seams like heating water with flat panels and using a heat exchanger to circulate the warm air into your living space? Thanks L
  8. Got this is a mail today. Wondering why they so cheep!? Very tempting. What you guys think? L

  10. Great. Seams like the infiniti 3kW is the one to have! I see one in the classifeds. Wonder if any one would like to part with a well kept second hand unit.
  11. Dont want to say too much, But I hear mc have a good amount of failures on their inverters?
  12. Would like to aim for 2kW. Sounds like the microcare?
  13. Thank you. Any suggestions on a good GTI with limiter? Battery backup not needed. L
  14. Hi Guys Can the axpert stop back feed into grid? Very much looking for a GTI. Thank you. L
  15. The 7kw is the daily cycle unit , and the 10kw is weekly? Very ipodish...
  16. How does this compare to building your own battery bank? Something tells me it is a battery in an iphone cover with a great marketing team behind it? L
  17. I am wondeing how much the price of components will spike now. Sad time . L
  18. Wow awesome,do you have details and photos of the turbine?
  19. Maybe Setsolars is piggy backing of Setsolar brand. ?

  21. A great article of horizontal vs vertical axis Turbines. http://www.motherearthnews.com/renewable-energy/vertical-axis-wind-turbines-zmaz08fmzmcc.aspx
  22. Is getting finance a good option? Or the banks making a killing on this movement?
  23. Many thanks. We have a big generator on the farm. So load shedding is not so much an issue. Would like to lesson the diesel on my wing. Wondering if a GTI setup and exess sell back would help. A certified GTI will shutdown when the power is off? L
  24. Awesome, thanks for the info. Please take a look at my rough finger drawing, I am house B. The eskom is supplied from the eskom transformer market. A and C are my neighbors homes. I would like to discuss a few scenerios. If me at house B is producing more solar than I am consuming and pushing back power. Will the solar flow to house C first and the makeup come from the grid? If house C is shutdown, will the power then be divereted to house A? Thanks Guys we on a plaas here L
