Unfortunately the initial costs for both systems is influenced by the load capacity within your house. In order to minimize this cost you might have to cut-off energy supply to heating units such as stoves, geyser, irons, incandescent light bulbs, etc.

This is an expert decision, which might require one of our team members to visit you for recommendations. View the video below for an example of a Load shedding backup system

Cellphones energy

Today about 20 to 22 million people in South Africa use a smartphone, which consume an average of 2 Wh per day

Therefore all South African cellphones consume:2 Wh X 21 M = 42 MWh a day. So at 90c per kWh they cost a total of R37, 800 per day.

Are we correct to say that 4, 2 percent of stage 1 loadsheding accounts to mobile phones? This of course excludes routers and transmission towers
