According to a CSIR report South Africa endured 859 hours of load-shedding during 2020 or about 9.8% of total 8760 hours per year
The amount of trees planted per 1 kW rooftop system.
A 1 kW rooftop system will reduce the amount of CO2 gas emissions by 924 kg per year. This is the equivalent of planting 40 trees.
There are several ways by which you can contribute and one of the best ways is to use an alternative source of energy instead of using fuels that produce more carbon dioxide.
We supply systems from the small back-up unit to large mini-grid solutions. Only the best suitable products are used in our installations.
All our products are proven technology with excellent support by either manufacturer or supplier.
We do not do installations we provide solutions. Each client has a different problem and therefore a unique solution. We do not just provide electricity we provide peace of mind.

One of the batteries we use is the Hubble. It is a 5.5kW Lithium Iron battery and has a 10 year warranty. Together with the RIOT box these batteries and inverter can be monitored and managed via the internet.
The inverters we use are of the latest technology. They carry a 10 year warranty and have a 25 year life expectancy. All equipment is certified and has been accredited by most municipalities and Escom.
We install from back-up systems to full scale mini-grid solutions. As all installations are different we prefer to do a sight inspection before committing to a price.
Unfortunately due to costs there is a fee payable for a sight inspection but all documentation will be supplied to you should you opt not to make use of our service.
A back up system is basically an inverter and batteries. The system is charged by electricity (ESKOM) via the inverter and can then be used during times of power outages.
This system is used to reduce electricity consumption by using a large PV array to supply electricity during daytime. It is still connected to the grid (ESKOM) and is only operational when it is sunny.
A grid tied system is used where electricity can be fed into the grid (ESKOM) thereby reducing the clients electricity bill. It is a PV system with back-up batteries and inverter.
This is a complete stand alone system and is managed by the user. It has an inverter, solar array and batteries for use at night time. Can be coupled with a wind turbine and / or generator to charge batteries.
