This show is about load-shedding, and how to avoid or minimise its impact on your life.
Although it's difficult and expensive to get totally off the grid, there are many ways to save money on your electricity bill (we cover that in Ep2) and many ways to find an affordable solution for you (Ep5).
In this 5-part limited series, I've squeezed the coal of hundreds of hours of reading and multiple interviews with experts into 94 minutes and 11 seconds. And five minutes of that is a James Bond radio comedy that I hid in the last episode.
So in Under 90 minutes, I'll cover all the big questions about getting off the grid.
What works, what's right for me, how do I get it installed, and how am I going to pay for it?
Welcome to the show, I hope you have a good time.

As Frodo says at the end of the first and best Lord of the Rings trilogy - "It is done". In this final episode of Season 1, I cover the different ways you can pay for a solar power system, as well as the tax rebates available to both homeowners and businesses. If you've just finished listening to the entire series, thank you! It's been a labour of love and learning to create a technically complex like this. Hundreds of hours have gone into it, and I hope it was worth your time. If you liked the show, please share it with your friends and enemies. If you want to sponsor this season or season 2, also feel free to get in touch. Some useful links:The government's FAQ for the solar panel tax incentive for homeowners is here.
