indeed, it's time you are allocated your own enterprise starship [may i suggest jedi-blue?]; apart from that i have to glean that having attained that illustrious accolade now moves you beyond the realm of numbers 🤣

We've learnt to move fast through the forum ... we skip anything Axpert see.

Suddenly the forum becomes very small. 🤣

@Mark why the sad face, there is way too much to read though all the post on Axperts needing advice, support, repairs or how to. 🙂

And there are experts here to answer them all.

We (carefully I include my bud Plonk) don't own or will ever own a Axpert either, so it is of little to no interest, bar a quick scan, quick comment, now and then. Sorry. 🙊.

Now here is a good news story!!!

Eskom has reportedly said it wouldn't repair the damaged transformers in areas where people don't pay for their electricity usage.

Now THAT is something that can work ... get the majority "affected" and get the popcorn out when the "majority" takes on the Minuc's / neighbors that steal!

There I do try and introduce the grid tied option ... using Blue.

I mean, a pre-programmed ESS setup grid tied Victron kit with 8 x 350w panels and a 150/100 all delivered kinda looking at wot +-R55k incl or some such and all you need to do extra more or less is get some Pylons or whatever batts, a DB board or two and there you go.

eish, one little mistake and they even confiscate our blue-collar status... statements like that could estrange our friends down under 😉

Our friends down under has the Axpert support and firmware completely under control.

There is no better, seriously, none better. Nothing can be added to their amazing knowledge and willingness to help.

"LONDON (Reuters) - Britain, the birth place of coal power, is set this year to use more electricity from zero-carbon sources such as wind, solar and nuclear than from fossil fuel plants for the first time, the country’s National Grid said on Friday."

https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-britain-electricity-mix/clean-power-to-overtake-fossil-fuels-in-britain-in-2019-idUKKCN1TL2ZW

Now tell me why SA cannot follow suite?

They can now actually run for whole days without coal. They keep the coal stations fired up in case the sun stops shining and the wind stops blowing, but they're a standby resource. Some nuclear in that mix too. And a technology developed in SA but has it been used here? They burn the residual coal in worked out mines underground and channel the gasses up to a generator.

nope, even if that were possible, the ripple effect has been set in motion and will continue to hammer our coastline relentlessly tsunami style... remember there are aftershocks!!!

That is absolutely understandable.

Because I own an Axpert I also skip anything relating to Victron, Goodwe etc...

under these circumstances i have to start playing my 'color-blind' card, that is the closest i can get to pc as well 😎

I read the Guvament is going for a $10 billion Eskom deal. 

Wrap it in whateva spindoctor gibberish you want but this will become our country's "doodskoot". 

I pity the "na geslag" that will have to deal with this.. 

BTW, a challenge to all. How many noughts in a billion. 

Warning though, don't get confused between the different countries.

Normally we mean 9 zeroes. That's what you can call the international understanding, but that's a bit of a de-facto thing caused by the Americans.

In Afrikaans a "Biljoen" is a million million, ie it has 12 zeroes, also called a trillion. A thousand million is called a Miljard, which I believe is from the British Milliard.

Thankfully, the Eskom debt is only halfway towards 12 zeroes (at just short of 500 billion ZAR). Or around 35 billion USD. GDP is around 350 billion USD. So about 10% of GDP. That last one is the real issue...

nice one... i am not a maths wiz but found this in my blikbrein - the numerical after the ten would give the zeros {the pdf is better quality]

@Gabriël your sheet is correct.

If the quoted figure is preceded by a $ sign it refers to the USA interpretation. 

But do look at how the different financial publishers screw it up. 

But now Eskom go from  6 noughts to the 9 noughts debt plus the original 6 noughts. 

Oh, and they battle to complete small projects.... 

My calculator does not have enough spaces for this. 

And no cadre's brain will be able to comprehend this. But they are totally willing to enslave us forever. 

And somebody must ask how the payback will be financed.

if it were not so tragic we could laugh about it - sa's titular head for two terms did not have standard 8 maths, in fact any heyday st 8 would have been able to tell the guy a thing or two, eish, i sommer post the video here again - remember to listen properly  🤮

JZ wants to ask a girl out (his culture allows taking extras...).

JZ: Can I get your number?

Girl: OK, listen properly...

You should ask the Zimbos how to count. At one stage their largest denomination had 27 zeros behind a 1. Still didn't make it valuable and I think 6 months before that they lobbed off 6 zeros their currency
