Oh, and here was the view from my workbench last night :
(yes it is meant to be a black rectangle)
For those of you who don't know, our (South African) Electricity provider is very clever,
they cant make enough electricity, so they tell you to stop using so much of their product,
when that does not work, they start charging more,
then because you are using less, they make less, so they charge even more
when that does not work, they do load shedding (meaning they switch different areas off for 2 hours at a time, to lower the load)
I have never known a company that encourages you NOT to use their product.
Now I just need to repair one of my inverters (went off with a BANG - Literally), and then I should be able to carry on for some time.
