You haven't seen those black helicopters and unmarked cars cruising the hood looking for solar criminals?
No, they contracted a company to do the aerial photos for them by planes. Then they also have "ground squads" that operate. No money for rebates but have lots to fund their solar police.

Just put solar then when the solar police come, they can help you register.

Do you need to rant on about the same **** in every thread that has to do with solar? We get it, DA bad, just move on already.

No, I don't go outdoors much due to the deafening sound of generators, which means I wouldn't be able to hear Airwolf black helicopters anyway.

That might actually be good idea, but they will send their ground troops in and then discover I am actually a genius. I am a terrible actor.
Why act? Just be yourself.

Also geysers, fridges, freezers, etc would suffer the same now that I think about it. Would make an interesting thesis, wonder if there is an inflection point where loadshedding starts causing even more loadshedding
Yep, all stacks up. Eg. your 2 hr slot was 4-6pm, your laptop takes 30min to charge that 2hr usage, so its done by 6.30pm, which just so happens when you start cooking. Now however, your slot is 2-6pm, and now need 60min to charge, but still start your cooking at 6.30pm, so, not only just cooking, but cooking and charging, multiple it by millions of devices needing more time all stacking and suddenly our 'peek' is not only higher, but longer, which then needs more loadshedding, creating even higher and longer peeks. Its a death spiral. Eventually, as loadshedding slots increase, peeks will start bleeding through the day getting longer and higher, becoming all day as batteries and devices, like your fridge/geyser, are not only trying to make up for last slot, but the previous slots they weren't able to fully recover from, with people cooking dinner at 10am for example cos they won't have power for rest of day
