Guss Davey 31 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Hi Dreaming about solar... not because of Escom, but because it's cool stuff. Never got so far to make the jump. The >100K always found another place where it was spend (sometimes on very big white elephants). Today, I made the dive and transferred the payment of my first solar system. (With luck on my side, I will be dead before the panels read their end of life) Sunsynk 8 6.4 BSL Bull JA Solar 405 Mono's and all the other related goodiest A very big thank you to the guys from Power Forum Store for the good prices, good courier costs and excellent service. I will start a post on my build so that other can see how a newbie tries to figure out all this nice goodies. Energy, Mad Mike, DeepBass9 and 4 others 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Energy 433 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 It's a huge pleasure. I will also be putting up my own system very soon. I have been dreaming about it since 2013 when I started the forum. Please do document your process! Well done sir! Sincerely Jason Powerforum Store and Anonymous 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
