This day, hour by hour
Example system: 14 × 580 W panels (8.1 kWp), 8 kW hybrid inverter, lithium battery, typical Gauteng home using about 26 kWh a day. Power cut times are examples. No export to the grid.
The order of priority
How the inverter decides where power comes from
Solar runs the home
Whatever the panels produce goes to your appliances first. It's the cheapest energy you'll use.
Surplus charges the battery
Midday surplus fills the battery for the evening, when use peaks and the sun is gone.
Stored solar after dark
The battery runs the home overnight but keeps a reserve so it's ready if the grid goes down.
The grid fills the gaps
The grid only supplies what's left. During a power cut the inverter disconnects from the grid and keeps you running.
