With SA now firmly 3rd world status due to lack of service delivery - mainly in the power sector. Instead of bitching about it let's help each other cope and get around it. I have a 5.5kva generator wired into my circuit board. Takes the edge off load shedding. The electrician I used for this is a Greek guy called George (natch) and does a great job. If you want his details I can pass this on to you. Anyone investigated the solar panel route yet and where to get a good deal with good service?
