    DeezGP got a reaction from zsde in No benefit from solar panels   
    I 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

    Was a little skeptical as I called them for a quote in solar panels and the sent me a quote within minutes... this is where we have come to in this country... we get worried when we receive good service🤣

    DeezGP got a reaction from zsde in Inverter question   
    We don't use alot of electricity. With loadshedding the way it is we only use 350 to 400 units a month. I presume units would increase if we have uninterrupted power... but not alot
