Eskom load-shedding back after three months

Willing to share some info? Just installed a solar system and batteries
In Each room:
600VA inverter per room + 1 charger + 1 charger monitor + 1 40Ah deep cycle battery
In my home office the load is a bit high so two deep cycle 40Ah batteries in parallel (load is high due to a file server running and more than two computers)

Each room has had the mains powered lighting removed and replaced with a 12V DC LED flourescent look-alike light. So the normal 220V lights are there but the bulbs have been removed. A separate switch is provided for each. This is powered from a battery bank in the garage which is float charged at 14.1 Volts on a smaller deep cycle lead acid battery.
