RE: Thinking requires electricity, especially in South Africa
how about getting a tesla powerwall installation to fix the electricity problem? That should do the trick!

Oh, cool. I haven't heard of that. How expensive is that though? The Tesla powerwall installation that is. I suppose I need to check if it's available locally (South Africa) though as well :D
Well, in the US they are going for around 10k. Coupled with Solar Panels, you'll can essentially live off the grid. I would say the Powerwall and solar panels should put you back around 20k. However, if you can afford the initial investment, you shouldn't have any worries about stable electricity supply. The setup pays itself back by year 10 of ownership. If you live in South Africa and have plenty of sunshine, you should totally consider getting a Powerwall and solar panels.
Cool, thanks for the reply. I'll definitely have a closer look however, for now, it's a little out of my reach. Essentially living off the grid, man, that'll be great :)
I'm pretty sure that as development continues and with mass market adoption, the cost of Powerwall and solar panels will come down significantly. Just keep an eye out for the best deals!
