Load shedding is likely to be with us for years to come and it may get worse. South Africans have every reason to complain about Eskom. But after complaining, households have to decide what to do to best cope with load shedding.
This option allows you to use electronic devices, have lights on and cook during load shedding. A gas oven/stove also makes you much less dependent on Eskom. You might not be able to use your stove, geyser, borehole pump or pool pump with this inverter. If you use several electric devices during load shedding, you'll probably trip the system, but with frugal use this option definitely helps.This is unequivocally the worst option presented here but one many people have gone for. In some circumstances, such as apartment blocks with very little roof space, it may be unavoidable, but it should be considered the option of very last resort.
A downside is that if you cancel within 36 months you pay a R20 000 fee, and R10 000 if you cancel in years four to six. Also, the monthly payment goes up annually. It's also not clear who would get the income from selling electricity back to the grid, when that becomes an option, at least in Cape Town, in mid-2023.
