Dr. Sepp Stoxreiter writes:
"I installed a 6kWp solar PV System three years ago. It generates up to 40kW/h per day.
It runs my entire home, including two air conditioners, a geyser via a heatpump, a stove, a heavily used 3kW kettle and an office with nine staff and lots of computers.
And then there is still power to spare.
It cost almost R400 000, including a spare inverter in case the working one develops a problem.
I have not had a single problem since day one. It is the best investment I have made in a long time. Besides my Porsche loves its heated garage in winter, not to mention our large sparkling pool.
