Operator got a reaction from mzezman in Solar InsuranceR500 is expensive yes................but look at the details.
Could be that electrical/mechanical/electronic breakage cover is included on the equipment.
Without properly going into the details, you cant judge the quote
If it is however excluded, they are truly ripping you off

Operator reacted to Bobster. in One year on, was the investment worth it?The easiest saving to calculate is the saving on the meter. I initially figured about a 7 year payback. I now think about 11. But that's on the meter. In the meantime we sail through loadshedding, and there are other soft benefits. Our fridges always stay on, the contents of the deep freeze are safe.
Just having the lights and telly on during load shedding is a big improvement. We donated a very new inverter & batteries to my mother. Then I put in some of those led lamps with a little battery in them. Now when the power is off, she can watch some telly, do her knitting, see where she's going, read in bed. This is a step back towards regular life, and it has some value.
So there are soft values as well. These all add to the benefit that we derive from our systems.

Operator got a reaction from system32 in What to do with excess PV powerDo you have enough hot water after hours? Maybe install an extra 100 liter geyser inline to feed your existing geyser., but you put a timer on it and only heat it up after lunch. Good way to have a good reserve of hot water without extra cost
This way you will have tons of hot water without your main geyser coming on and using Eskom power at night
