    Load-shedding wrecking city power networks due to overloads

    Load-shedding wrecking city power networks due to overloads

    That was a PPA for only 100MW more. That will probably be enough for a few zones under COJ.. It's still not going to solve old infrastructure issues like when substation trips seconds after load shedding due to isolators or phase burning out.

    Generator or Inverter for residential use?

    My thought exactly.. Something about the pricing sounds dodge. Thinking of just going the Growatt 3kw 24V inverter with 2X 12V 100AH LiFePo4 batteries in series for now.
