As this is an ongoing Eskom process.Switch off the Eskom mains from today to ascertain if what you have is enough to sustain your household and apply this across a few months.Try not to be too conscious of saving electricity because you want to get thru the days but rather live normally until Spring and you will get a reasonable idea of what you require to get off the grid. I applied this process from April- November 2024 and now i am busy plugging all the gaps and pitfalls so that i can move off the grid next year. Note that you will get the estimated billing from your grid supplier for sometime until they correct it. Another suggestion is to consider using the option of a heat pump instead of the geyser or reliance on gas for any heating as that adds up to your gas cost.The heat pump uses a quarter of energy to heat up the same amount of water when compared to a geyser.Your geyser simply becomes a storage facility for the heat pump. if you have a pool,covering the pool allows your pool pump to run less in a day.I actually got away with 2 hours a day in Winter and 4 hours a day in Summer.My pool was sparkling clean despite being around trees. With this experiment,you will be able to have a reliable data specific to your household to work with so you can safely go off the grid.

Hi Lancelot, Just stumbled on this post. Did you manage to get a true Schiender installer who understands this system? i had my system installed awhile back, however i have the same issues. I have two 60/150 MPPT, with a 5.5Kw solar panel capacity. I seem to max out at 3200w daily generation irrespective of the sun being high and also have the system constantly drawing from the grid. Thanks.

Yes,it was resolved when i got the hagger.No trip since i got it in November 2022. I had this issue for over a year and after getting the hagger for once over the holidays i was able to travel with peace of mind.

Thanks P1000.I only have a few surge arrester plugs.Will definitely give this Hagger CD246J a try and see if that will work.

For sometime now,from time to time the moment electricity is switched off for loadshedding my earth leakage trips. What is strange is that it only trips 5% of time when COJ switches off the electricity for loadshedding and doesn't trip on normal house usage,after electricity is restored during loadshedding or during rains or any other times except with a faulty equipment. This sometimes doesn't allow my inverter to power the house and electricity has to be restored during loadshedding by someone physically switching on the earth leakage and afterwards everything is fine. I have changed the earth leakage but no success and have called a couple of electricians in and they are unable to find any fault. I have solar installed but this started prior to the solar installation and still unable to find and solve this issue although I thought installing the inverter would stop it.I have the Schiender inverters that supplies the house. One of the electricians seems to suggest that the fault might be related to Municipal systems but without any information to back it up. Suggestions for a good electrician will be appreciated or alternatively an earth leakage switch that i am able to remotely switch on via an APP similar to the Astute CBI switch. This is because i have my internet and wifi on backup power when this trip happens on the start of loadshedding and just require to switch on the earth leakage so that my inverter can power the house.
