Solar system and Eskom supply, (a Neutral Question)

[kahoel117]

Hi Tinman
i am interrested in your green power setup, that you are building for your lighting.
i want to do a similar solar setup for our lighting , although its not an replacement for our current lighting.
just basically an experiment for now to see how it works in the seasons and the type of lights i can use (cfl or led).
currently our lighting is 20 x 11w cfl and 3 x 150w floodlights(PIR).
thanks

Hi kahoel
Delay is that I have been away and also had loggin issues. I am moving my light off the grid, wanted to have automatic switching
but that will have to wait while I find my way around that obstical.
I am still sorting out the PV. I know what I need its just the price and supplier. I need to go and see the quality of PV.
Some selling at R10.00 Watt and Others at R13.00 Watt, so its down to quality, somthing lacking in SA today.
regards
Tinman

Be careful! If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys! Especially in the PV industry, don't buy the cheapest stuff. It will soon be a very expensive lesson to learn.
