In an off-grid scenario, if your solar electricity installation was done correctly in South Africa, your power should come back on automatically by 9:30hrs the following morning on a good day when it goes off at night due to low storage.
In South Africa 7-9hrs sun hours is expected depending on the season. Interestingly in South Africa, solar electricity seems to perform more optimally in the winter season contrary to popular belief. The reasons for this is:
1. More sunshine hours
2. Less cloudy days
3. Milder temperatures (solar PV does not like heat)
