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 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.

In the Nelson Mandela Bay area, crossing into the “Block 3” tariff will spike your costs to R4.57 per unit (ecl. VAT). The Shelly Pro 1PM allows you to track consumption in real-time, identifying exactly which phase or appliance is pushing you toward that expensive 500kWh threshold.

Why Shelly Pro1 PM:

  • Solar Ready: Perfectly monitor generation vs. consumption to maximize your solar ROI.
  • Data Logging: Stores 60 days of minute-by-minute data internally – no cloud required.
  • Automation: Set scripts to automatically shed non-essential loads when your monthly “run-rate” exceeds your budget.

Why Buy Shelly Products From an Authorised Reseller and Installer such as Stratlec?

As an Authorized Shelly Reseller, Stratlec ensures that every device is genuine, ICASA-approved, and backed by full technical support tailored to the South African electrical grid.

  • Local Support: Expert advice on NMBM tariff optimization.
  • Warranty: Full local warranty and replacement support.
  • Expertise: We don’t just sell the hardware; we help you build the solution.

Descriptive words: Energy Monitoring South Africa, 1-Phase Power Meter, Shelly Pro 1PM, NMBM Electricity Tariffs, Solar System Integration.
