Generally, public holidays treated as Sundays are: New Year\u2019s Day; Good Friday; Family Day (Easter Monday); Christmas Day; and Day of Goodwill. As a rule, all other public holidays are treated as Saturdays, except in cases where such holidays are on a Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>By installing a highly customisable Solar Inverter (with an online GUI or APP to make management a breeze) along with Lithum Batteries it is possible to bring your energy spend per month down to R85.52.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking the above three tariffs and NOT FACTORING SOLAR PRODUCTION into the equation you will pay the following for your electricity per month:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ATTP (900 units) \u2013 R1 108.82<\/li>\n<li>NON-ATTP (950 units) \u2013 R 1235.45<\/li>\n<li>Time of Use: (950 units) \u2013 R 1078.75 (This total will be slightly lower as we have NOT factored public holidays into the equation)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The NMBM will charge R5 737.61 to install a Smart Meter.<\/p>\n<p>With the above you have ONE MORE CLUE as to whether a Solar Installation will be a good fit for your situation. i.e If you consume 950 units per month you can expect to save around R1000.00 per month in electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video:<\/strong> NMB Electricity Tariffs \u2013 Solar Installation Comparison<\/p>\n<p>[embedded
