The inverter is very fancy. You can download a app which monitors the system, alerts you when there is a KE breakdown and solar system is operating and vice versa. Also let's you know if there is a problem with the solar system so that the support services can be called. Also monitors the savings on electricity bill by net metering.

How many appliances do you expect to run with set up? I and forum will be grateful, if you post regular reviews on purchase.

Also interested! @fatman17

All lights, fans, fridges, TV, laptops. There is enough kw for 2 ACs but they have to be inverter ACs, I have normal ACs so they won't operate. I will keep everyone updated who is interested once the system comes on line. For technical reasons one cannot use electric kettle, toaster, microwave, clothing iron when solar system is on.

That's interesting, what are the reasons?

 

[fatman17]

Has to do with the heat elements in these things. Not compatible. They use a lot of amperes to get hot. This is just my own understanding

That's interesting, what are the reasons?

Gilgit-Baltistan Signs Its First Ever Public-Private Partnership Project

In a historic move, the Gilgit Baltistan government signed its first public-private partnership (PPP) deal with Industrial Promotion Services Company NPak, a commercial arm of AKDN, to build the first river power project in Gilgit Baltistan (GB), a 2.8 MW project in Hunza.

Talking to the media, the Advisor Finance government of Gilgit Baltistan Waqar Abbas Mondoq said that private sector engagement is pivotal for the development in Gilgit Baltistan. This is the first run of the river project in GB, and if it succeeds, the government will replicate future projects on the same model.

Gilgit-Baltistan has the potential to produce more than 45,000 megawatts of hydroelectricity. Pakistan’s total electricity demand from both residential and industrial is 25,000 MW. If the hydropower potential of GB is realized, it will not only meet all requirements of the country but put Pakistan in a position to export electricity to neighboring countries.

This milestone will unlock the massive opportunities available in this region. Through the private sector-led growth model, the Gilgit Baltistan government will facilitate private sector investments in the region. Due to no legal cover for private sector investments, Gilgit Baltistan so far did not have any large scale investments. PPP will now provide a legal framework and facilitate large-scale investment in the region.
Gilgit Baltistan is currently relying on a 100 percent federal grant. The rollout of PPP will strengthen the revenue base of the GB government as well as reduce its dependency and burden on the federal government budget. The Advisor Finance further added that a significant number of investments will be routed to the region through PPP mode in tourism and other sectors.

wow so nice you are my most favorite person now on this forum.

and what will happen in case of lightning strike?

sounds like a tesla solar wall

please update about estimated years to recoup the cost

 

[fatman17]

About 2 years. 50% saving on KE electric bill. Working great so far. KE has High Tariff periods 7 to 11am when solar is contributing 90% of the load and 7 to 11pm when grid and solar batteries are contributing 50:50%.

Solar charges the batteries in the day time and the batteries discharge during the night. Net metering has also started and we are selling KwH back to KE. There is a App which is available which allows you to keep an eye on the system.
