Oh great - so we're going to load shed 18:00 till 20:30 then.

3KW of PV connected, check.
225Ah of Battery connected, check.
Batteries charged and Inverter happy, check.

Bring it on Eskom :)

Cost? If Lynne Brown is to be believed and this is going to carry on for the next 3 years, it would be a good idea to get something in place now...

Question - I looked at Durbanville on Gridwatch yesterday and I'm pretty sure we weren't scheduled for 6pm today.

Are they changing the schedules at short notice ?

You read the schedule wrong or Gridwatch mucked up, the spreadsheet I created months ago when CT changed the schedule predicts Durbanville being in the 18h00 - 20h30 slot on the 18th day of the month

Power just went off now, guess they've scrapped stage 1 and gone straight into 2 after all.
