    SABC asks for TV licence price increase

    They should take it from their SMS spamming budget. I will never buy a TV license again. The need for TV’s without antennas is going to go through the roof.

    Eskom to charge solar users in South Africa to remain connected to the grid

    So not only did tax payers pay for the power station, we also get charged monthly to use it, then, when they find out how we can generate our own power then slap on fees to make it expensive if you don’t use their service. This has to be illegal, oh, and if you want to disconnect from the grid...

    New tax placed on solar panel imports

    This needs to go down as the worst government in history, the ANC (prior to recent changes) had the most amazing opportunity to change the direction of the country by giving large tax breaks to full solar systems, turning the country around, making their failure into a success by going green and...

    The DA's plan for the SABC - sell it

    Another useless service that could have easily been scaled down into a news station on YouTube and sold off. Governments are constantly crap at business.

    Taxi lawlessness drives South Africans away

    If you go through the settlements you will see the bus stations and lanes vandalised. Every time they fix it the taxi gangs burn them down and do their best to stop the buses running.

    Lux - power 5kw not charging or using batteries

    This is a CFE brand, notorious for having comms issues because it has so many settings, they can be set for low and high voltage.

    Lux - power 5kw not charging or using batteries

    It’s a comms issue, rather set the inverter to user defined and unplug out the comms cable. Just check the manual on how to set it to user defined, also set the amps on the inverter too while you’re doing that.

    Mike's (non-Sunsynk) System

    Really appreciate the mention @Mike Hoxbig that setup is very popular, we hardly get any issues with those inverters and batteries. Looks great!

    What you can do about clouds slashing your solar power

    I received the email from MyBroadband asking my opinion, I mentioned one obvious way to tackle this, there was a quite a bit more that I said too which wasn’t added. I also said that I would be interested in hearing other potential ways of handling this. Bit more context for you.

    Some help for the new kid

    I see it does say for SUB, the fact that Kodak won’t say it’s a Hybrid confuses matters more because it’s the same inverter rebranded. I’d like to hear from a King owner and see if this actually works.

    The Goodwe will 100% blend, so will the Sofar. Goodwe comes with an app too, I haven’t used it but looks good.

    Some help for the new kid

    I see that they say “utility energy will supply power to the loads at the same time”, if you read the one from Segen it doesn’t say the same thing lol https://portal.segensolar.co.za/reseller/docs/Voltronic%20Axpert%20VMIII-KING.pdf

    Some help for the new kid

    I do have the SUB priority setting, it typically used when you prefer to reserve the battery as a last resort, this is ideal if you want to save your battery for Load Shedding but in context of solar this option is for the grid-tied setups with a small backup because they might be using all...

    Some help for the new kid

    My Axpert has those options too. That just sets the priority. It’s actually an easy test to make, run a load that requires AC supply and if it completely switches over to the Grid it’s an Off-Grid. If the DC still produces with the AC then it’s a “Hybrid”.
