That would just shift the load to off-peak.Eskom wouldn't need to use diesel peakers if Minerals and Energy would allow us to install powerwalls to feed in during peak and recharge later during off peak.

Which is where any excess capacity would be foundThat would just shift the load to off-peak.
Therefore flattening the curve.That would just shift the load to off-peak.

That's assuming your generation is constant - which, at least with Eskom, doesn't appear to be.Therefore flattening the curve.
The Victron doesn't by default come with MPPT, they're optional extras.The victron will allow you to use solar, and switch like a UPS, the tesla does neither.
I'd hazard a guess that the Sunsynk inverter is more commonly paired with the Freedomwon batteries.You could also go for the SunSynk 8.8Kw hybrid inverter which has everything you need and is cheaper than the Victron. A lot of people on the Powerforum run the Sunsynk and seem very happy with it.

As do a lot of people on this here forum tooYou could also go for the SunSynk 8.8Kw hybrid inverter which has everything you need and is cheaper than the Victron. A lot of people on the Powerforum run the Sunsynk and seem very happy with it.
...and the Tesla does allow solar via a basic inverter.No it won’t, you need to add that on top which is exactly why I don’t have a Victron as it’s almost too modular and everything costs more for that very reason.
So the comparison was quite fair as stated in the article, the Tesla just offering a nearer all-in-one package for load shedding.
Declared/Max availability includes what you're trying to replace ie - Gas turbines etc. If you look at coal generation it's not flat in SA. You also have to consider the impact on inverter inefficiency.The blue line looks pretty flat to me:

Yeah when not loadshedding I generally set the Inverters to battery from 5pm using the day's excess solar,then recharge from utility after midnight if they are too lowThe blue line looks pretty flat to me:

For sure, but the little man should be able to profit from the action.I can't say for sure, perhaps from a residential use perspective but surely there is a need for industrial customers?
