    The Home Improvements Thread (3)

    Go to an auto paint/panel-beater type supply shop and get the double sided tape that holds car badges on. You only have one chance at placement, so be careful, but that stuff really sticks.

    Old second hand car prices.

    Yip the best, had one with a Ford V6 used for just that.

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    I am totally off-grid running two houses with all of those things. Generator is there for cloudy days and when everyone is a bit heavy in these few weeks of winter. Summer I have more power than I know what to do with. I'm not interested in being a "power policeman" and let everyone run what...

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    They are and that's my understanding as well. Even on a practical level, if you are designing an inverter with feed back capabilities you would need to do all the bits that NRS is concerned about just to stop your product from trying to run the neighbourhood etc. We are not the only market that...

    Poweralert Stage 3 (old news)

    That's all I did. We had a three phase ESKOM connection so I spent some time looking at options and decided that since it was only the borehole and one of my machines that actually needed three phase it was simpler and easier to just go single. So a single phase borehole pump and three 5kW...

    My Solar Journey

    That was a tricky one for me too and the more electricians and installers I asked the more different answers I got. My system is not only off grid but I wanted it such that any one of the inverters could be pulled out of the system without affecting anything (Aside from moving com's cables and...

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    :ROFL: All of it is perhaps the right answer. Both houses, everyone did washing, old girl probably did some cooking or baking, gardener was here... I was out so I just see spikes on the graph.

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    Lucky, I only got 27 kWh so had to run the gen.

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    To explain further, If you don't have a functional unbroken earth back to the source of power, a kind of return to sender, the E/L isn't going to do jack****. With Eskom you are lucky in that you (and your neighbours etc.) have that return to sender. Throw in an independent source (e.g...

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    Yes I'm aware of that, so that's why I'm saying it simply isn't possible at all based on what the test button does.
