I'm guessing they are going to make it as difficult as possible for people to switch. https://www.citypower.co.za/faq

Got this earlier; haven't seen it validated anywhere yet but apparently approved budget stuff. Residential pre-paid electricity meters (high users): R200 (R70 service charge + R130 network charge). This was going to be around R500, but was reduced. Pre-paid tariffs will also only go up by the standard increase of 12.72% instead of the proposed 18%.

Just FYI.. A mate used someone in his area (in JHB) to do this for him. It's taken 3 months so far, (not converted yet) so it's not always a shortcut.

@Energy-Jason is dark mode making a return sometime?

The current used to do this on mine roundabout the one -> 1 upgrade.

I thought it was due to the dark mode but light mode also does it.

I would say it depends on the panels. Jinko allow @BobTheDinosaur's type of installation : https://jinkosolar.eu/wp-content/uploads/Installation-Manual-Jinko-IEC-updated-version-2023.07.20.pdf

My graph also disappeared like that when the device fell off the WiFi for a bit.

What's the background image? Looks fantasy game orientated... elden ring? Edit: ok seems its removed now.

Although it can be seen as trivial, please ensure you understand kw and kwh. Your inverter is capable of supplying 8kw of power (minus the h) at any given time to your load. That is what your max load is... 8000 If you have 10kw worth of panels on your roof, then the max solar load for the card will be 10000.

I'm running 2 strings of 5 x 575 into my SNA 5000. The panel's STC IMP spec is 13.5 amps but I've only seen it go as high as 12.5 (that doesn't mean it won't go higher). All is fine so far and I'm yet to see what happens (clipping) when the amps exceed 13.

Hi @kellerza Digging this one up, hope you don't mind. I've recently gone solar/prepaid so would like to monitor my PP balance in my HA dashboard. Is your code still relevant or has there been updates? Thanks

works a treat.. thanks @Sc00bs

Seems I bought at the height of the price curve... just like my crypto experiences. 😒

@Bobster. My PP meter was installed 1 Aug. I did not include anything about solar on my application as I did it many months ago (long story) and I did not have it at that time. By the time they came out to finalise my conversion, my solar installation was complete and I'd been been running it for about 2 months. My bill I received on 4 Aug included usage for July till 1 Aug (minimal due to solar). I was not at home when they came to install but they did ask my wife if we had solar to which she replied yes and that was that. Hopefully this means it is a "clean" switchover and with next month's bill I'll be 100% on prepaid.
