  1. Hi there im really dumb im understanding how to calculate wattage usage so this is a south african forum i hope local can help me with this math so lets say current electrical unit costs R2.20 in my area i believe kwh has to be calculated so i have 2 Graphics cards one is rated at 150 watts - gtx 1070 other at 350 watts - rtx 3080ti lets say i game 3 hours a day which is 90 hours a month i want to know how much does this cost to run each gpu there has to be a way to work this out i see newer gpus use more wattage what i dont understand is if each gpu runs at 1mv {actually the 350watt draws less at 0.900] how is it possible for one gpu to use more power lest the pcb board draws more from the wall but never uses it which is a waste in my mind
  2. ok thanks...i looked ..and saw this version is LC1_72_70c. i added more load on the weekend and saw the lights did come on...the more sun and more load brought the lights on as it works in steps like you mentioned above depending on the load..so far so good. i would just like to have the option of flashing the firmware if i ever wanted too. but everything is working 100% thanks a lot clever man-xd
  3. wow...thanks.. patched??? never knew this..i bought it like this.....solar is working but the little lights dont come on Thanks ..you are very clever
  4. I want to know is this correct that this light never comes on ... no matter if its on solar or SBU or just eskom. it doesnt ever come on. Thanks
  5. thanks... so only available by this weekend?
  6. Wow.. Thanks guys for all the info from you that messaged here. Appreciated
  7. kool where are you situated?
  8. So the true answer to all of this is ????? regarding the panel watts not really showing 700-800 watts
  9. ok....im really trying to understand this... when i loaded a second computer on see how the out put and input pv changed...but then it switched over automatically to eskom as the two panels couldnt give enough power it seems.
  10. Good day i have two 400 w solar panels in very hot sun and clear sky.. now im not familiar in understanding this program so well. but what i want to know on this picture with 2 x 400 w panels.... where on the picture does it possibly say im getting around 800 watts..? i see the 437 watts being used by the computer running but pv input power reads 471. so do i add these together to get the whole sum or is one of the panels not working so well? thanks
  11. hi where can i get this software shown above?
  12. any batteries still for sale?
  13. thanks.. must be nickel batteries then.. gonna look up on how to fix these
  14. Good Day I found these batteries...a whole bunch of them. they all empty "liquid-wise" inside....there is still the lead type stuff inside. they are about the size of a big samsung phone . very light in weight ..not because there is no water inside but the elements in it is pretty light. i have no idea wat type of batteries these are. any help......and can they be repaired? i actually bought battery acid from midas and poured it into one and it got hot and boiled over foaming and bubbling like Enos in water.. so no idea how to fix it. have a few photos here Thanks Dennis
