Electricity usage help.

[Oridjinn]

5 People, fairly large property (48,800 sqm), 4-bed house, 3 ACs, pressure pump, borehole pump, regular electric geyser, and I WFH (PC on all day, lights on, coffee machine and kettle running a few times per day, etc.

We use exactly 0kWh from Eskom. Off-grid is epic. I generated 7,800kWh since 3 January 2025. By this cost, the system will have paid for itself in around 2 years.

That's impressive, I've got a similar setup but 2x geysers each with a heatpump (+-800W instead of 4Kw element) + pool + heat + fishpond and I've used 13 110Kwh ytd, and produced 9 060Kwh. With some tweaks my ratio between production/usage have increased from 57% to 69% from last year though.
