Outages still happen. Tariffs still rise.
National power cuts have eased, but local grid faults, cable theft, substation failures and load reduction still leave Gauteng suburbs in the dark, and municipal tariffs go up every July. A well-designed system deals with both.
Grid outages
The battery takes over automatically, so the lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, gate and alarm keep going.
Rising tariffs
Solar covers your daytime use and charges the battery, so you buy less from the grid.
Pools, pumps and geysers
Pool and borehole pumps, heat pumps and geysers are scheduled around your solar, not your bill.
Home offices
Calls, laptops and routers stay up when the street goes dark.
Three ways to power your home
We recommend one after looking at your bills and what you want to keep on. No packages and no guesswork.
Battery backup
An inverter and lithium battery for your essential circuits. It covers grid outages, and you don’t need panels to start. Add solar later without replacing anything.
Solar + battery
A hybrid system that cuts the bill during the day and backs up the home at night and in outages. Sized for the circuits you choose, from essentials to the whole house.
Off-grid with a generator
For homes, smallholdings and plots that want to run without the grid. Sized carefully around your usage, with a generator connected for long cloudy spells.

Cash, your own bank or a lender
Most homeowners pay cash or use their own bank. For larger home systems, finance through a third-party lender can also be worthwhile, and we can point you in the right direction. Every system is sized and quoted for your home, so we don’t publish package prices.
