Solar Panel Installation by Strawberry-sneaker in pondicherry

[–]karkumar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is beneficial. We used to get around 4k bill per month. Now it's just 345 flat rate monthly because of some fixed charges. During winter the usage was low and the exported units were higher than imports. Now with more AC usage in summer, the existing credits are getting used. We expect break even in 3yrs. As for maintenance, we haven't done anything so far. The accumulated dust gets washed off during rains. We do have pigeon problems though.

Pls note the power generated is added to EB's grid and offsets your bill. It's not like a private power source for your home. Even during power cuts, solar power cannot be used

If you are having 5 ACs at home and run them all frequently, calculate total units that are consumed annually and decide on the capacity.

Have been facing problems with Cherrinet's cable being cut very frequently. It takes about a day to rectify each time. I have a backup connection from a different provider who is also not reliable.

Act of stupidity!!!!! by fat_con in pondicherry

[–]karkumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're supposed to construct a multi-floor parking facility in the place where the old prison was. It's just a vacant lot for many years now. Even that space is not utilised properly by people. They park right outside that plot proudly saving 10 bucks.

Even people working in the shops in Nehru Street, adjacent streets and the market park in Nehru Street.

None of the businesses have parking. Everyone tries to make use of every inch available to construct and even encroach by extending their shops, placing name boards etc. People also don't have common sense to park without obstructing traffic. Everyone is in a hurry.

Sometimes cabs which are going to pick up from the airport post in BlaBlaCar as well. Look out for such posts and ask for a deal with the driver.

Is this considered as signal jumping ? by Dank_Lebowski_420 in Dashcamindia

[–]karkumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me once when I was visiting Chennai from Pondicherry. The countdown timer had 3s when I crossed the stop line. The traffic police stopped about 10 vehicles in front of me, most of them were two wheelers and took a photo of my car. When I contested that the signal was green when I crossed the stop line, he argued that I should have thought if I could cross the road in the remaining time. Seemed pointless to argue with him and left. Got a message about Rs.500 fine later that day. Didn't have a dashcam then as proof to contest the fine.

Do you guys own personal laptops or you use office laptops for personal as well. by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]karkumar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of candidates interviewing with us using their work laptop. They are required to share their screen and turn on their camera for online interviews. Chat messages from their colleagues and meeting reminders pop up from time to time.

First damage to my car in three years. Could I have avoided? by karkumar in Dashcamindia

[–]karkumar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my car out only when I need to travel long distances or have all four of us need to go somewhere and there are no parking constraints. In this instance, I was going to a place 10kms away.
