Are you tired of load shedding? 10 most affordable solar panel solutions for load shedding in South Africa.

The lights go out again. You heave a sigh “EISH!” and try to get comfortable in the darkness. It's become a regular occurrence in recent months - load shedding. It's a term that's become all too familiar in South Africa, and it's not likely to go away anytime soon.

What is Load Shedding

Load shedding is when power utilities deliberately turn off electricity in certain areas to avoid overloading the system. It's a last-resort measure that's often undertaken during times of high demand or when there are problems with the power grid. While load shedding can be a nuisance, it's important to remember that it's done for our safety. An overloaded power grid can lead to blackouts, which can be dangerous. Load shedding usually happens in stages. Stage 1 means that 1 000 MW of power will be shed from the national grid. This can increase to Stage 4, which involves shedding 4 000 MW, and then there are the other stages which we South Africans know a thing or two about.

Load shedding in South Africa is a problem that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon and more and more South Africans are seeking solutions and alternatives for the seemingly unavoidable blackouts that hit the country daily. At the top of the list of alternatives for load-shedding are solar panels which are also good for the environment and along with alleviating the stress of load shedding, they can also go a long way in reducing your electricity bill. The only problem is that to most South Africans solar panels seem too expensive but it doesn’t have to be that way.

What does a solar panel system consist of?

There are four main compartments required for a fully functioning solar panel system

The Solar Panel

The Battery

A charge controller

A power inverter

The solar panel converts sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels that concentrate solar radiation and then generate electricity.

The main weakness of the solar panel is that the sun goes down at night or even during the day, the weather plays a part in how efficient your solar panel is.

That’s where the battery comes in; the battery stores the energy to be used at times when the sun is not providing any energy or enough energy. This allows you to still power your devices and appliances when the solar panels are not generating electricity.

Then we have the charge controller which is necessary to make sure the battery charges efficiently and doesn’t overcharge or undercharge, which can negatively affect the battery.

Lastly, we have the power inverter which is where the magic happens, this is the device that allows you to plug in your home appliances and use the electricity that is being generated from the sun by your solar panel.

Now that you have an idea for a solar panel system we can look into the options available and find a solution for you and your budget.

How much does a solar panel system/kit cost in South Africa?

The answer to that question depends on what you would like to do with your solar system, the more you want to do with the solar system the more you will have to pay.

We would all like to have a solar system in our homes that powers all our home appliances, the lights, geysers and everything else so that we can go completely off-grid and never have to pay Eskom a cent, but that requires a large investment which unfortunately most South Africans can’t afford.

That is why we have found 10 solar system solutions that are more affordable to the masses and will go a long way in reducing the stress of load shedding by powering essential devices like your TV, Wi-Fi router, computer, and more during those 2-3 hours of load shedding that hit our country daily and don’t seem to be going away anytime soon.
