    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    most probably in the 60's , or only a small drop (for you cause clearly no lizard people) protest in the area affected give CP (or eskom) an excuse not to come out and only inconveniences your own neighbors - just go protest at the city power offices.

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    it not that its bad (the heat loss is faster until it hits a lower temp but you get the extra buffer due to it) , So if you have the extra capacity to do it without eskom then knock yourself out, but when it comes to balancing cost vs what you can do with available PV not so much.

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    normally straight swap for the thermostat - my one geyser has that the other one has probes that go in roughly at the center of the tank

    Solar generation in rain/cloudy conditions

    depends where they are - most of the time the sensors are with the thermostat element which with the element / thermostat so middle or bottom, depends on if your geyser is vertical or horizontal - if horizontal is slight more accurate
