    I have a challenge with the system I have installed 16x 665w solar panels Trina 10xup5000 my batteries is taking longer to charge like 4days to be ful

    LOL. You are not worth the effort or energy. So yes I am stupid to respond like now. "But" and this is a "big but", as Monty Python says, If one person reads this this and realizes that every man and his dog like yourself know squat about certain things, really only spew nonsense that can cost...

    You are obviously clueless besides being egotistical, and your "experience" means nothing. For those reading this. PV panels are affected by age, high temp, dust, moisture on the panels and in the air, leaves, angle to the sun, hr of the day, season, you name it. Different types (PV panels...

    Basically without getting more panels, get a well trained expert to check you actual installation, program for its actual configuration and you siuation.

    I am reading all the replies here, and most are sort of guess work. LOL. The bottom line is that most PV installations are totally underspced or undersized by a factor 4 to 10!. And the PV power is not only being used to only recharge but there is household load which pulling power at the same...

    Eskom's load-shedding has become completely abnormal – Energy analyst

    I too was involved in the whole Eskom coal supply chain, and production using real time AI. They were interested in robust coal supply, and risk analysis. Yes this was also after 1994. The there were many issues, worst problem was simply bad silo design, ie too small. simple not enough buffer...

    Eskom's load-shedding has become completely abnormal – Energy analyst

    This is possible, and I know of the truck issues, as parallel set of coal supply. But the mind boggles. This rain/truck issueis not new, been around of 15 / 20 years ago. It was bad impassable roads too. Can anyone else internal to Eskom confirm this sabotage ?

    Eskom's load-shedding has become completely abnormal – Energy analyst

    One needs to be rational about this. Load shedding started in 2008 for a whole variety of reasons. Last weekend appears to be due to different causes, and comparing 2008 with now is not right nor fair. Yes one could say there is a general maintenance issue to bad management, but 2008 was 13...

    Eskom's load-shedding has become completely abnormal – Energy analyst

    We dont really know the facts. Well at least I dont. Do you ? Maybe the currently supplied conveyor belts are lower quality than the past ? Who knows ? I am not condoing this current siuation, but I have seen too much on too many sites where one is quick to blame without knowing the facts. Some...

    Eskom's load-shedding has become completely abnormal – Energy analyst

    Everyone is very quick to criticize, without really knowing the facts. Perhaps abnormal weather is justifiable, especially after the remnants of the cyclone hit us ?
