There seems to be a lot of excitement about a "spike" caused by backup systems. 5-8am and 5-8pm have always been peak demand periods, even without load shedding. How much higher is the peak due to backup systems? Eskom has not flagged this as anything out of the ordinary.
I think I can charge it with my car in emergencies.
A bit higher every day I would think.
I know. I am just referring to all the experts on MyBB predicting that backup systems will make load shedding worse or collapse the grid, when the electrical engineers at Eskom have not said so.The evening spike is world wide not just SA....
and solar is gonna make it worse re:
Sweet old Duck curve
It might not be as bad in SA, because SA`s state energy is failing, everybody in SA also buys a battery compared to other countries where most buy only the panels and inverter with no battery.The evening spike is world wide not just SA....

I am going to go big battery and inverter with no solar panels. I do not feel like dealing with the solar police/registration. So I will invest and make the situation worse for Eskom.
Eskom have engineers?
No, but this is for my family in CPT.
Haven't received mine yet, but il keep an eye out. Thank you
When did you receive your bill, usually they send it around the 15th.Nothing yet on my side
You're not even in CPT get over yourselfI am going to go big battery and inverter with no solar panels. I do not feel like dealing with the solar police/registration. So I will invest and make the situation worse for Eskom.
Peaks are actually till 10pm normally, but the reason why it's higher is because people have had to move their loads. if you're off from 4pm to 6pm for example you now start cooking later, if you're off from 8pm, you'll also cook earlier, see how it works now?
You haven't seen those black helicopters and unmarked cars cruising the hood looking for solar criminals?
