DeezGP got a reaction from zsde in No benefit from solar panelsI had the same issue when I did my install. Got the electrician to come back and revert the db back and had him install the sonoff loadshedder kit... have seen a huge drop since then. The geyser is the biggest power consumer, so makes sense to have the solar do the hard stuff if possible
