South Africa - load shedding is a curse word here :).

Great to hear about the fast payback period, wishing you reliable power :)

  • tibbydudeza didn't post about a fast payback period. Maybe neebz is his wife?

    • Payback - I never factored that in or even thought about that.

      I was more concerned about having reliable power and reducing my electricity bill.

      The daily 2-hour power cuts were getting out of hand, and I was running my business from my home office, so the tax incentives helped slightly.

      The grid is more stable now as new power units became available but a big chunk of middle-class consumers using solar are using way less power now, so the local town councils are having problems balancing their books (town councils re-sells electricity from the national operator).
