Last year when the first wave of stage 6 loadshedding ended in July we had solar installed. All my friends and colleagues full of hopeium mocked me and said well thats the lowest of the lowest eskom would go and that government will intervene. They all believed that loadshedding will be a thing of the past by December 2022.
I had to endure conversations of how I've just spent 200k on a system, wasted a **** ton of money and the usual mock about solar tax that will be introduced on residential homes with solar.
Most of these people drive vehicles worth in excess of over 750k but will not spend 110k or more on a backup system that ultimately reduces eksdom dependance.
They don't even flinch spending 100k extra on a more expensive vehicle that drinks fuel like my Alcoholic Step brother consumes beer.
Some of these "Mockers" even use my study as a mobile office when the power is out.
Anyone on here that had solar installed last year experience the same ?
