If you are a commercial business, office or residential homeowner in an urban area, loadshedding might be distressing, but the chances are that a fully off-grid solution won’t make sense for you. By opting for a grid-tied energy solution, you can enjoy both the benefits of a solar PV system and grid connection while avoiding the rolling blackouts caused by loadshedding. This brings you savings on your electrical bill, energy security during times of unstable grid power, and some independence from future unpredictable electricity tariff rises. For some, you may only need a loadshedding battery backup system, while others may require a dedicated grid-tied system.
