Anyone here running solar, or planning on putting some solar in soon?
I've looked at it - but cannot make it work financially even slightly. The odd 2 hours power outage really does not bother me - I just go do something else. We usually have something to watch on the few laptops dotted around the house if at night - but if we get hit is normally between 14H00 - 16H00 - not a bad time for a nap.
Might get an inverter (around R1000 / 800w) and just attached it to the car battery to run tv/dstv/router - friend does that and works fine. personally, I think it's a case of going totally of grid or do something small and inexpensive. Probably would change my mind if we had 4 hour cuts regularly though...
