Basic solar usage

[andre greyling]

I am a novice to solar and pse want to clear my understanding of the following:
If my geyser is connected as non-essential will it use power as follows:

a) available from PV, then
b) available from battery up to level as set {% set), then
c) only from Eskom when a) and b) has been depleted

Thanks

d) not available at all during loadshitting/cable theft/substation explosion (no grid).

Thanks, so if grid is off the geyser cant draw any power if on non essential?

As far as i have it anything on non essential wont use battery

It will use from eskom and if there is a surplus and you have it setup to push back to meet your own needs it will take advantage of surplus solar

And this can only happen while eskom is present
