i have the same issue, how do you guys solved it ?

@viceroy I am wondering the same, Please can you share your setting as I have the same setup but it's not using Solar as priority until I physically switch off the Eksom feed ?

A bit two minded about this I have converted to as green as possible in my house, All LED, cooking with Gas.. etc and my monthly electricity bill is roughly +-R1000 rand, the only big electricity user is most like the geyser my question as following I am planning to install 5KVA backup system with Luxpower inverter and Greenrich 5kw battery, ( still deciding on UP5000 vs WM5000, both seem identical from the spec sheet ) I currently have a 5.5kw generator that I have been using during load shedding without much issues. I am now comtemplating whether is I should install 6X450w panels or if I just use generator to top up in the situation where Eskom becomes unavailable to charge the battery , any suggestion ? is it even worthwhile to consider fork out extra capital for solar panels taking into the consideration of my monthly electricity bill of +-R1000? I was quoted R24000 for 6 X450 panels supplied and fitted
