With households scrambling to save money on electricity costs ahead of Eskom’s looming price hike many are turning to Solar Systems as a solution.
The concerns with Solar are mainly around cost to install and speed of installation.
The principle around saving electricity is a simple one; “If you can measure it, you can manage and control it!”
Shelly Devices:

Shelly Devices offer you a very cost effective way to constantly measure your consumption and control it – on an entire premises OR single device basis – via your smartphone and WITHOUT ongoing monthly connection costs. Your device, your data, your privacy – sorted.
Take absolute control of your electricity bill with the Shelly Pro 1PM. Designed for the professional environment and high-demand South African households, this DIN-rail mountable 1-phase energy meter provides 1% billing accuracy.
