Just read about this:
And the actual website: https://semtive.com/residential/
This is the wind speed/power curve:
Cape Town wind is 5 m/s in slower months on average or something like that. So that would generate 5kw/h on an average day.
That combined with a solar panel or two and a Tesla battery and you should be not hearing from Eskom again.
Looks awesome, but only in pre-orders at the moment. See they will be selling them for $4,695 / R61k, now that’s not much if you can get rid of Eskom!

Yeah probably need to add to that for customs etc.
Also need to look at your own power requirements, that is 5 units per 24-hour day, so I would need multiple R61K’s to make it worth it
I think its 5kw per hour, which if correct is awesome. Replace geyser with solar geyser and you can be almost off the grid.
It’ s 5 kw/h in a day. So a full day of 5 m/s gives you 5 kw/h. 5 kw/h is 1 1000w device running for 5 hours or whatever. Most homes would need more than one.
In summer you’ d do better. Wind’s closer to 7 m/s on average giving you 10kw/h per day.
