  1. P1 is import what you use from the City P2 is export to the grid/ Each ling must be Pimport = P1 / 4 Pexport =P2/4 The City do 4 readings per Hr so that value you have to divide by 4

    Summer month we are generating more than 4MW per month. 15KW Batt so import = 0. My view now is does not matter who we are paying Gov or China is the same. The diffs is no load shedding, no increase and most important no theft for those who like stealing ... Savings for us are huge more than R8K per Month 1 x 10KW dual 3KW 7KW grid tied 1 x 20KW 3 phase grid tied 1 x 7 KW 1 phase grid tied 1 x 3k3KW 1 phase grid tied 1 x 10KW grid tied new inverter 52 PV panels 😇 New stuff is now fully sponsored. 😇

  18. 'n Goeie begryper het 'n halwe woord nodig. Ek kan nier help as mense nie somme kan maak nie en aanvaar dat almal tegnies gestremd is nie Basies is ek te lui om detail te bespreek. Wat belangrik is is 'n Goeie begryper het 'n halwe woord nodig. As mense nie die berekeninge kan verstaan nie is ek nie daar om dit te leer nie. Ek argumenteer nie ek wys net uit hoe beperk mense se denke is Let me add one sentence. Show me where any person could prove the calculations wrong, the installation cost or where any entity had legal issue. Surely if no person can proof the calculations wrong and the fact that you can see the impact on my account then you must be very dumb to argue against facts. My calculations are good, my savings are terrific, my expansion on solar is what every one tell me can't be done yet I show it on my account and then you say I am arguing. Meditate on it and then you consider who needs to be convinced. I assure you not me. I smile all the way and the people I have guided what to do so do they and frankly as for the rest you are most welcome to support Eskom and the corrupt.
  19. Oh dear me that has been recalled. Then mayor Lewis had a long speech on this. Since then things changed. The COCT is on the fore front with this and people has a difficulty to understand what is happening. I think the account I showed one can clearly see that I generate more than 2MW per month. That NRS guide line is of no value. When I have the next 15KW working properly in the summer I will send you the graphs. I am 100% in the frame work set by President Ramaphosa and Mayor Lewis. The cash back of R15K since Nov I think is proof of it. I think the challenge is going to come when I want to exceed 300A push back. 😇
  20. Just so you know and understand I design and develop control system for a living. So I will stress about power if I get to 300KW. Below that its lego blocks.
  21. 3 phase 100A per phase. I thought for those that understand the maths it would have been commonsense.
  22. We have been through this already on this site. So help me with my maths. Help me understand what am I calculating wrong. I had 16KW in Jan produced about 2MW feedback. Do understand 16KW inverter or 16000/240 = 66Amps AC or alternating current NOT DC. Now I am busy with another 14KW inverter power that means I will add another +/- 2MW monthly or +/- 14000/240 = 58Amps. Then when my building is complete I will add another 30KW or 30000/240 = 124 Amps. Thus in summer if I understand maths correctly 32000 + 30000 = 62 KW or 62000/240 = 258 Amps. January I generated about 110KW per day of which +/- 70KW per day was pushed back. Some day's more some day's less depending on the sun. Where is my calculations wrong? Can you please help me with my maths that I can understand what I am calculating incorrectly. I currently have more than 40 panels installed. Below is an account print out. My calculations differ as I work per calendar month and the council has a moving month for billing on the water you can see it is 33 days. Maybe you can explain to me what I do not understand and where I error with my calculation. My calculations are not scientifically correct to the 3rd decimal but it is accurate enough for me to understand: My new 14Kw inverters is already paid for The existing 16KW is paid for All panels are paid for. My electricity pays my taxes on my house and my water is free as I use an RO for sea water. Please help me understand where I error. Thank you
  23. There has been a proclamation by Mr Ramaphosa that changed everything. The technical reason is total nonsense. Since when does a breaker or a cable or a transformer know which way current is flowing? This was my excess for Jan 2024. On the 8'th I pushed back 76KWhr for the day. Do the maths. This been covered in previous discussions. Come summer I will push back about 130KW per day
