    Influence of PV panel tilt angle on panel efficiency?

    Doesn't matter where you get your electricity from, if you live in the western cape under the DA you have to unfortunately abide by all their by-laws and in this case those include the registration of PV systems, no standalone systems are allowed and you're only allowed to use a COCT approved...

    Influence of PV panel tilt angle on panel efficiency?

    That's not really an option, the application would never be approved as it's a standalone system with a ching-chong solar UPS and no way my friend is buying a coct approved inverter.

    Influence of PV panel tilt angle on panel efficiency?

    So my friend has a north-facing wall that gets direct sun for most of the day. He also has a ching-chong UPS that is solar ready(freestanding and not connected to his home's DB) for use during load shedding. My friend would like to add a solar panel to his setup but living in the western cape...

    Labor cost to fit 4 interior doors and locks?

    The cutting part is fine, it more so the lock cutouts and alignment that I don't trust myself with.

    Labor cost to fit 4 interior doors and locks?

    Thanks, I'm a pretty hands-on DIY guy but I don't trust myself enough to fit doors myself. I'll probably end up shaving them down too much or misalign the locks

    Labor cost to fit 4 interior doors and locks?

    I'm planning on buying 4 new interior doors, locks and handles and would like to get someone to install them as they will need to be fitted seeing that the average door is 813mm x 2032 and my existing ones are 805mm x 1990mm so it'll need a bit of shaving down. Has anyone recently done a...

    Should I frame this and sell it as art?

    Ah interesting. Shows how far we've come that 20W was considered "energy saving" when you now get 3W - 6W LED bulbs that essentially produces the same amount of light

    Should I frame this and sell it as art?

    Recently moved into our new home(built in 2005) and found this bulb in one of the ceiling lights while replacing some of them. Is this quite common to find and how would it have ended up here? I've never seen a not-for-sale Eskom branded bulb before. I also find it ironic that Eskom makes bulbs...

    Is my friend going to burn his/her house down?

    Thing is you can't get a COC if you don't have a city approved inverter and I, sorry meant my friend, is definitely not going to spend R20K+ on an approved inverter setup when they can get one for a fraction of the price while still still having all the proper protection features.

    Is my friend going to burn his/her house down?

    Sometimes I really like the DA and then sometimes like now I really hate them. Definitely voting ANC next year so that I can have a DB board that looks like the ones the rest of the country has.

    Can you remember what the electrician charged for all that work?

    Is my friend going to burn his/her house down?

    True but with the whole roof mounting you need an engineers signoff, don't think that's the case if mounted on a wall and since COCT no longer allows the registration of standalone backup systems that feeds a secondary DB I believe my friend should be good to go if he doesn't follow through with...

    Yep COCT said they use google maps satellite images to track down unregistered solar installs. RIP

    What if my friends hangs a panel on the wall at a slight angle?:rolleyes:

    Is my friend going to burn his/her house down?

    It would be the case if someone doesn't do all things you just mentioned and what my friend wants to do.
