Load shedding solution

Wanted: load shedding solution
Price: less than 10k
Location: jhb

Hi All,

I am looking for advice as well as a supplier of a load shedding solution. With no end in sight, i think it is about time to face facts and acknowledge that my marriage will end if we have to spend Friday evenings from 2000 to 0030 in the dark, with no entertainment (we married so sex doesn't last 4.5 hours and i cant entertain that much pillow talk)

Essentially, i do not want a generator, hassle of filling, risk of fire, noise etc... Does not appeal.

I also do not have an unlimited budget so going off grid, or installing solar etc isnt feasible.

I basically want to run my tv, dstv, router, computer and a lamp for the four hour load shedding interval, not necessarily all at the same time.

I have no idea as to wattage, inverter, power supply lingo, and i dont really care to learn. I was hoping someone could recommend the best solution and potentially supply it or recommend a supplier.

Maybe split into categories based on cost

Best solution under 5k
5k - 10k
Best under 25k
Best under 50k
Gupta style solution (i.e no limit to cost, basically buy Eskom and have them supply you alone)

Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi You can get a 1440w inverter lights and TV , Dstv and pc Plus minus R10-17k depending if you want installed directly to your DB board and to run automatically when the lights go off
Or a 5kva inverter to run your basics Lights /TV / Fridge / microwave / pc / Dstv / and a bit more - fully automated with option of adding solar panels later on will automatically kick in when the lights go off and runs of 4-8 100amp batteries packed neatly in a cabinet . Plus minus R38- 45k including COC

So what is the difference between a 1200VA @ R 5,245 and a 5000VA @ R9,878.50?
Will it be worth it to go for a 5000VA with that price difference?

Basically, the R5245 solution includes deep cycle batteries and appears to have a 720w max power draw also it's pretty much plug and play, the R9878.50 is an inverter only with around 4000W max power draw capability, needing a minimum of 4 x 12v deep cycle batteries to be purchased as well , at the current rate a good one goes for around R2400 x 4. That's just your cost to get it functional.

You get what you pay for basically, the R5k solution is great for running a fan/tv/modem/decoder for an extended period and should be good for multiple load shedding sessions in a day.
