Demand for rooftop solar installations plummets

Yep definitely a grudge purchase, shows how quickly people forget stage 6...
Loadshedding aside, it was more the frequent power outages in our area that made solar worthwhile. A few hours without power I can workaround but we've had some area outages that lasted 7 or 9 days which gets really old quickly.
 
I'd have probably installed solar panels already if it weren't for the COCT.
I flipping hate reams of paperwork, and all the drama involved to get approval, plus the COCT wants their approved inverters that can feed back into the grid.
All I wanted was to top up my batteries with my chinese inverter, they complicated that, even for people with COCs etc.
So I left it, glad I did. Will look into it again next year, maybe I'll find a desperate installer who'll do all the paperwork and I'll still be able to use the inverter I spent over 30K on.
