    Prepaid meter eating units (Wh) without using it

    Yes, we will keep on losing in every which way direction in this country and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it - just move to another country where there are more drama and other issues. So just best to hush and accept what is happening currently.

    Prepaid meter eating units (Wh) without using it

    Yes. Basically we are now forced to pay to run the municipalities meters over and above what they are smoking us for with the prepaid rates as well. I know I know ... it is minuscule - but still. Lose-lose for the consumer

    What was your opinion of the 2025 National Budget Speech?

    It doesn't really matter - there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. Even if all the non ANC parties stand together and reject the budget, it will still pass somehow.

    Axpert inverters any good?

    I only have one, don't think my dad or father-in-law still has theirs. Sure, just come and pick it up in Centurion or pay for shipping.

    Axpert inverters any good?

    My family and I now have had a couple of Axpert inverters (different "brands"). They don't read voltages correctly, they don't charge correctly, overall not reliable. My dad, father-in-law and I each have dead 5.5kw Axperts lying around. At first they seem perfect and wow - you get a lot for...
