Seeking Electrician in George
Having moved from rural KZN to George and taking my self installed solar system (Sunsynk 8Kw) which was coc compliant with me, I now am looking at installing it here. Having got some quotes I think are very high and widely divergent I would like to do all/most of the install myself but due to all the regulations which apply here I am looking for a competent solar electrician who can supervise me and sign off with coc but who will charge a reasonable fee for his/her trouble. Please pm me if you can suggest someone. Thanks in advance Thunderdolt.

Didn't see 208Ah v 104Ah....apologies- Solar Panel Mounting Options
I have used SolarwaySuppliers and KD Solar. The last one was with KD 2 years ago. They were very competitive and I bought direct from them. No harm in getting a direct quote: <[email protected]>.. I have no affiliation with either of these companies, I have merely been a customer.- A problem or not? Expert advice requested.
I have just moved to a house and am in the process of finding out which switch activates what. There is a separate toilet and bathroom with a double wall switch for the lights. The one switch turns on both lights, the other does nothing. I opened the switch to see if the non active switch was wired, suspecting that at some time perhaps an extractor fan may have been connected to it. It had a 2.5mm wire attached as opposed to the 1.5mm on the active switch, judging by noticable diameter difference with all the other wiring. I measured the voltage from earth (metal of 2x4 wall box) to the open side of the switch and registered 42V , I dropped the breaker for the circuit at the DB and then measured 70V between earth and the open side of the switch. The house is single phase and has a Victron Multiplus-11 GX 5Kva and a BSL Batt (5Kw?) running in UPS mode. Question: Do I have a problem? And if so any suggestions of what may be the issue? Thanks Thunderdolt- How do you store and treat drinking water?
Add about 1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt or Himalayan or Rock salt per Litre, adjust to your taste buds (i.m.o. it improves the taste and feel) and you will have more minerals than tap water. Also you can get RO systems which include mineralization cartridges and even stand alone ' mineralization filters' .- China has installed kill switches in solar panels sold to the West

It's not a special starter, it's a fuse (i.e a short) and it's there to complete the circuit without having to rewire the flourescent fitting.- Need help with LED tube lights
May 5, 2024 comment_203216 Those are the ones I always use. The other side 2 pins are shorted together internally which enables the tube wiring to accomodate either way round fitting.- Alerts and Solar Scam Queries

Put in a wireless switch with the correct amperage on the line to the pump and give everyone access via their smartphone. Qwikswitch.co.za have a good solution re wifi switches and wifi extenders and remote bridges.- On-demand 0.37kw pump starts and stops after 5 seconds
I would disconnect your outlet pipe and see how it runs with the 20/25mm diameter outlet un-restricted. If the flow is still very weak then disconnect the inlet and see if the flow from the jojo is what you expect. If all appears normal then your controller is the likely culprit, you can replace the internal pcb for about R250 if you have trouble with the supplier re warranty. FYI : The controller detects pressure drop to turn on pump. Once pressure restores to pumps spec. i.e. 4bar, the pumps internal switch will turn it off.- On-demand 0.37kw pump starts and stops after 5 seconds
Sounds to me that there is a restriction in the outlet pipe. Disconnect/Switch off the elctricity to the pump and see what the flow is like.- Tenants and Solar
I hope you are actually looking for a reputable supplier, there are too many irreputable one's and worse out there. ๐๐ irreputable Irreputable generally refers to something or someone that lacks a good reputation or credibility. It implies that the person, organization, or thing has a negative or dubious standing in terms of trustworthiness, reliability, or integrity. An irreputable entity is typically seen as untrustworthy or disreputable due to a history of questionable behavior or actions. Webster Dictionary- 2 switches 1 light
