I know this forum is for solar, but I really need help on very old electrical meters (20yrs+). It has round meters with a glass face and dails that measure 10 000, 1000, 100 and 10 Kwh. I myself is using prepaid, but the old meters is in a property I bought and am renting out since June last year. The meters seems to run backwards. Is that possible? Each months reading was less than the previous month, except Dec last year which was much more than Nov. Feb again was less than Jan. Can anyone give me advice please. If the meters are faulty where do I report it so that it can be tested? The municipality couldn't care less. Much appreciated!

Thanks everyone..

I have googled rent to own and there are , like with everything in life, pro's and cons. I think I shall buy an 8KWh inverter and maybe 1 battery at first. Then later on add to the system. I just need a supplier with a reputable aftersales service and a good installer. I'm staying in Pretoria. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys, but I decided against it. Its a indefinite contract and you must pay a fee to cancel it. They do not want to disclose the cancellation fee beforehand. I think I will rather go with what you recommend and buy a system bit by bit. Thanks Madalyn

Hi guys. What do you think about renting a solar service. Gosolr offers packages ( Medium to Xlarge) according to your household needs. They install the equiment ( panels, battey and inverter) and you rent it as long as you wish. There is a fee for terminating the contract that is based on how long you have rented the equipment. They do yearly inspections to check if everthings ok and if something goes faulty they replace it. According to them they also upgrade the equipment every few years. Rental for a medium system ( up to 900KWh per month - 8 x 455W panels, 1x 5.5 KWh lithium battery and 5 KW hybrid inverter) is R1580 per month. They did not do a formal quote, so I do not know if there is a yearly escalation. I first wanted to know your opinion and if anyone else is maybe using their services, their opinion. Thanks
