Technician installing a power inverter

We are electrical engineers who are working on a standalone charger for small electric vehicles with the South African National Energy Development Institute as part of the Long-Term Joint European Union – African Union Research and Innovation Partnership on Renewable Energy. The way the charger is designed resembles the sort of system needed for domestic power cut solutions. So, we’re able to answer a few questions for those who feel overwhelmed by the options.

It is theoretically possible for an inverter to generate electricity for household use directly from solar panels. But the supply from panels is intermittent and often not powerful enough to reliably supply power to the varying loads in the house. As a practical example, if you want to power only 20 10W LED lights and a medium sized LED TV, drawing a total of 0.5kW, a 3.5kWh battery will suffice for four hours.No. The batteries store energy to provide a stable supply to the inverter when needed. Technically, you can use the mains power to charge the batteries, rather than rely on solar panels. Solar panels are merely there to augment the supply of electricity and could give you a bit more range during loadshedding if the sun is shining.

Eskom is f--ked. During load shedding they are not earning from their only product. More people will go solar further eroding their earnings. In the long run they will only be able to generate funds for operating costs through increases while their debt increases. F--ked.

and we make it clear we will go in the streets or you stop loadshitting or we go in the streets tomorow

Thanks to the anc voters and their president

Well, welcome to the new normal, let me go buy me some candles 🕯
