Great ideas Wetkit,I hope if I find property I will be able to get a borehole. I found a company here in Joburg that installs Hydronic floor heating. The stoves are brilliant

That would be great One idea I have is to use the fire place to heat the House(hydronic floor heating) and geyser.

They have 240 W solar panels which cost around R8.75 per W excl. Available in black as well

E I have been looking at a Pegasys 3000W 5 blade. I am in the process of selling my house and looking for vacant land to build.

I found Windfinder very helpful It shows past days average wind and last weekend was miserable but very windy giving me some good info.

I have been doing a lot of research for a while now for a complete renewable system 5000 Watts solar panels ,10 kw inverter incl. charger ,8 200AH lead crystal batteries,solar geyser,hydronic floor heating. I use around 12 KW hours a day in summer (efergy electricity monitor) My main problem is when we have bad weather will a wind turbine(3000W) be sufficient enough. I believe a 3000W turbine will give me on average 3kw hours a day.It is just difficult to calculate how much I will get on windy days

Thanks Energy

Is it worthwhile getting a wind turbine In Joburg as a secondary power source ? Tx
