Thank you so much for this. So, I'm building a new house and i am able to have two separate DB's for non and essential loads. My concern is if i have only essential DB, if my geyser is heating up and then my wife runs the dishwasher and maybe the washing machine, it might peak the 5kw. So my thoughts are to put everything on essential except the pool, dishwasher and washing machine. And these should hopefully receive excess power from PV if available? And then use smart switches on the essential side of things to schedule. Another question, do you have SPD's on both sides of your inverter, grid and load. If so, what units do you use? They are pricey!!! I think it might be cheaper to make up my own DB with this stuff in it. Thanks for all the info, you guys have been a great help. Regards

Hi Sc00bs Thanks for your information, maybe i missed this. But how do you have your loads connected? What is connected to non-essential/grid and what is connected to essential loads? I understand you turn things on and off on a schedule, just want to know how you have wired all your loads. Thanks
