Renewable energy retailers have recorded a sharp increase in sales from South Africans acquiring products to keep the lights on.

from South Africans acquiring products to keep the lights on. This is amid rolling blackouts from power utility Eskom., forcing many families to fork out thousands of rand to generate their own power. Planned power cuts by South Africa’s state-owned power utility, Eskom, have left businesses and households without electricity for more than six hours daily.

Hence solar power has been identified as an efficient renewable energy source. The only limitation is the ability to convert it to electricity in a cost-effective way.Managing Director at EE Business Intelligence and Energy Analyst Chris Yelland says, citizens supplementing their own electricity will not only reduce pressure on the power grid but also lessen municipal bills.

“The first thing one does is focus on energy efficiency. That is going to save quite a bit of money. The most common way is to have energy-efficient lights and install a gas cooking facility. If and when your electric geyser fails, I recommend you replace it with a solar hot water geyser. Once you reduce your electricity consumption to the minimum, the next step is to separate your essential load from your non-essential load. Then put in solar pv and batteries for your essential load only.

Shaldon Naidoo explains the energy and water savings initiatives they have introduced in their home which has already seen a reduction in their utility bill. “We have seen a substantial increase in solar products. Everything in renewable energy, people want to get their hands on, where it is full home solar systems, inverters, hybrid inverters, and lithium batteries, anything that can keep the lights on.”
