Batteries and Generator, will be adding Panels next week
 
Eskom recently announced stage 6 load-shedding, with stage 7 not far off. Do you have a solar installation, batteries or a generator as a backup to Eskom power?

The delay in downtime [Koeberg maintenance] comes after energy analyst Ted Blom warned that load-shedding would increase from stage 6 to stage 7 should Eskom proceed with the planned outage and not bring other generation back online.

Bull. His predictions are known to be pointless, and Eishkom certainly aren't following his lead.
They also promised not to allow stage 7 to happen.
 
2 Inverters to run the TV and whatnot in the living and the router, etc in the home office and a gas stove. But I think next needs to be a good generator.
 

13 Months later best investment we ever made.

We dont even know there is load shedding till we drive out and lights are out everywhere.

8kw Sunsynk

Barely use eskom anymore. Apart from sanity saved round R26k over the year
