Subscription solar

[Tradie]

This seems to be the new kid on the block, huge tax benefits for investors and you bind the customer into a monthly subscription for the rest of their life. This is why they say the rich get richer and the poor suckers just pay.

Looking at the monthly fee and the so called huge savings, I was tempted.

But when you look at what you get compared to the cost for the equipment and installation, is it really worth it.

Because you can now add a Ai subscripted installation, the savings are worth the subscription .

People can afford iphone 16 contracts, what's another R2000 a month for a solar installation, from where I am sitting at the moment watching and listening to people complaining about the economy, things are only gonna get worse.

There is a bright side to it all, at least you will have power when they cut the lights and water

Power ain't gonna help any without water, so rather ensure you have rainwater tanks and that they are kept more than half full.

Yip I agree, water is even more important that electricity, that is why we replace our plastic pool every 2-3 years, in summer it cools you down, and there is always water.

Now that our veggie garden is supplying food for the house and creating a whole eco systems with all the flowers added to the garden, attracting bees , it is time to install tanks below all the gutters, the stuff just seems to grow better after rain than watering with the hose pipe.

Then it its time to fit the insulation below the roof tiles, not on the ceiling, I suppose if you can sell geyser blankets to gullible people, anything is possible.

You are poisoning your plants and veggies by using municipal water to water them.
You also not doing your body any favours by drinking municipal supplied water.

Sorry, off topic.

Yep, I use a Doulton Ceramic Filter in series with an active carbon filter, and a 10uM filter for clear the water great tasting water. It costs less than R0.05c a litre, and only requires replacement every 10kL or every 6 to 8 months. I have pushed it to replace yearly. Found the water to almost taste slightly sweet once all the crap has been filtered out.

I bought my filters and housings at Germ Lubricants.

The Doulton filter is good, however, it doesn't remove the chemicals that are added to the municipal water.

I use the same filtration as you, the only difference being that I'm filtering rain water that doesn't have those added chemicals. Fluoride etc.
