  1. Hi everyone! I have an existing solar setup that I'm very happy with, and it provides me with plenty of power over summer. It might be worth it for me to add another 8 or so 550-600W panels to help me balance out my winters too, but then I'll have quite a bit of excess power throughout the rest of the year. I'm in Cape Town where they have a cash for power programme where they pay R1.38 per unit, but there's one detail that's missing from the CoCT site. An electrician told me that you're only allowed to feed back in up to 25% of the capacity that your house's feed-in power is. So I assume that means that if I have a 60A supply, I can only feed back 20A? Is this even true? I can't find a reference to this on the CoCT site, does anyone know what the real deal is? Would especially like to hear from others who feed in residentially to CoCT and what their experiences are. thanks!
  2. Hey, just joined this forum and saw your question. I have the same trolley and yes it can keep 'n PC on for a full load shedding session. (I guess by now you've already bought it and know that hehe)
