RE: Monthly Solar Figures

in Solar energy6 days ago

It's good to see that solar is on the increase in South Africa despite the hostile electricity company. It's such a simple way to improve the world and save money. I would hope that you get more sun than us in the UK, but it's still viable here.

Yes I can see solar being viable in most countries including the UK. Last month I would say we had roughly 50% of the month with extreme cloud cover and managed no problem. The government SOE electricity provider sees solar as a threat to their revenue and I would say they are correct lol.

Our supplier encourages you to get solar. I think it saves them money on infrastructure.

Total opposite mind set here as they do not pay for the infrastructure the government does and all they see is revenue shrinking. They cannot even supply a proper service and would love a competitor or two as they would close down immediately. They are basically bankrupt owing more than their assets are worth. I have been trying to get an electricity bill for years out of them for my pay as you go system that was never fully installed. I have raised this so many times and was even at their offices in December and still nothing and I am the one who wants to pay my monthly bill. Properly screwed up if you ask me.
