Good day all.
I live on a small farm of about 30 acres, just outside a town called Randfontein, about 50km west of Johannesburg.
Our local, state owned power utility has been destroyed this past decade by such massive corruption it is beyond comprehension. From being one of the worlds lowest cost power producers, with excess capacity it is now more often off on what is called rotational load-shedding than up and running. If our economy was not equally destroyed there'd certainly be no capacity whatsoever to meet demand! Power prices rise annually at between 8 and 16%. I want to be totally free from this grid!
Five years of reading and asking, and now I want to start the process. Over time I will certainly ask many questions on these various boards and share my experiences and learning curves as I go.
