So another Caddy!?


j/k... Congrats to you both

Thanks No more Caddy's, I had a Porsche fund going but that has been rerouted to an 11 week old's education fund.

I've got a full time cook now. Just need to train her on mowing the lawn.

No training necessary... Ask and I will happily oblige

PV kit we purchased recently can drive the washing machine as well.

Cool.

Will look at an upgrade at a later stage, for now we can make do with what we have. And not havening to pay Eskom a cent anymore.

What kit did you buy?

3000W inverter/regulator
2x 350w PV panels
2x 100Ah deep cycle batteries

Need to up battery storage to allow fridge to run 24x7 - for now we switch it off at 22:00 and on again at 05:00. Still better than no power or expensive+unreliable Eskom/muni power.

Can you pm me brands? Need to start acquiring some capacity.

Can’t believe your fridge uses that little power.

Are you in JHB? How much did your setup cost approximately?

Would be about R45k to fill in the pool but I might keep the pool and put the money towards solar.

You'll be surprised on how little fridges use

They have a kit that's similar, but it's out of stock, there is a slightly bigger one for R26k, you'll have to add on about 15k for installation I'm sure.
