What it will Cost to Avoid 21 Hour Load Shedding – MyPR.co.za

What it will Cost to Avoid 21 Hour Load Shedding:

  • Choose your ‘flavour’ to avoid loadshedding from R500 to R260 000
  • Find out how a Solar Installation for your business will result in an immediate payback on your capex spend.

Today Eskom implemented rotational load shedding from Tuesday to Thursday saying that they would endeavour to keep the lights on for a 3 hour period between 06h00 and 09h00 daily so as to minimise the disruption to traffic.

Like the frog in the pot of water on the stove the heat (OR in ths case – the cold) just got turned on big time.

Slowly South Africans are being introduced to a future in which a central electricity supplier is unable to fill our needs.

The scramble is now on for alternative power sources to ‘fill in the load shedding gap”.

The easiest and quickest quick fix is via generators BUT generators are also the more expensive and intrusive option over renewable energy.

Next up is Eskom in a Box – an inverter in combination with different battery sizes to power the essentials = PC, TV, Router, Bar Fridge.

When it comes to renewable energy – solar leads the way as it is quiet, efficient and a long term (more than 25 year) solution. Couple solar with battery technology and we get a hybrid solar system.

Hybrid systems are a perfect solution as they will allow for:

  1. Self Consumption
  2. Push back into the Grid and reduce your overal electricity bill
  3. Power selected circuits (or your entire home) in the event of load shedding.

Some Loadshedding choices and example pricing:

Look for the Tesla Certified Installer mark when Installing any Tesla product.

5KW of solar power will provide an average of 960 units per month which is around R2 400 in electricity savings per month (depending on your local tariff).

Payback Period on the Solar Hybrid Systems:

  • For a residential installation – around 7 years
  • For a business – immediately *

* Section 12B of the income tax act allows a business to depreciate by 100%, immediately, any spend on renewable energy.

Alan Straton from Straton Solar commented; “Over the last 10 years we have watched the prices of Solar Panels and then batteries tumble. We are now at the point where it is an absolute no-brainer when it comes to investing in Solar Hybrid Systems.”

Renewable Energy from Solar Hybrid Systems help keep the lights on in South Africa.
