Hi there My domestic worker has recently got electricity to her home in Bossiesgif (next to the industrial area). We fought with the municipality to get it installed but now I realise she has a meter but she is running an extension from her meter to her room and I am concerned she may not have a proper DB board and plug set up. I would hate for her power to short circuit or a fire to start. I'd like to get a ready board with 4 plugs and a light installed for her. Something like the attached. Would you be able to assist with setting this up in an informal settlement? Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I have currently 6 panels installed on a flat roof in a double story house and I am looking to add another 2-3 panels depending on costs, I have a luxpower SNA inverter and a 5.12 Shoto battery. Looking for a quote on getting 3 panels of W added to this installation as its a flat roof it will also need the brackets to raise them
I have a 5 kW Sunsynk inverter connected to two 5 kWh Revov 2nd LiFe (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, and a solar array consisting of nine W panels. Lately, I’ve noticed a significant drop in power generation even on sunny days. I’m concerned the solar panels may be underperforming or nearing the end of their lifespan. There’s also a possibility the wiring has been damaged or degraded, which could be contributing to the power loss. I’d appreciate guidance on how to diagnose and address the issue.
