Inverter & battery solutions
Hybrid inverters and lithium batteries for load-shedding backup, with or without panels on day one.

installation.
A roof survey, a system sized off your real consumption, and a commissioned installation you can actually run a house on.
Most solar quotes start with a roof and work backwards. We start with your last three municipal bills, work out what you actually need to keep running, and only then look at how many panels fit.
That order matters. A system sized to your roof will always be bigger — and more expensive — than a system sized to your life. Plenty of homes that only want to ride out load-shedding need far less than the first quote they were shown.
What the installation includes
- Site and roof survey, including a structural check on the mounting area
- System design and a written yield estimate for your address and roof orientation
- Mounting rails and panels — tile, IBR sheeting or flat concrete
- DC isolation, surge protection and correctly rated cabling throughout
- Inverter installation, configuration and commissioning
- Monitoring set up on your phone before we leave site
- Certificate of Compliance covering the electrical work
How we size it
-
Read the bills
Three months of municipal statements tell us your real daily consumption, not an estimate off appliance labels.
-
Agree the essential load
You decide what has to stay on during an outage. Geyser and pool pump usually come off that list, which shrinks the system considerably.
-
Survey the roof
Orientation, pitch, shading and structure decide how many panels are worth installing and where they go.
-
Quote a fixed price
Itemised, valid 30 days, with the panel, inverter and battery models named. No “or similar”.
What moves the price
We do not publish package prices, because the same house can need two very different systems depending on what it must keep running. These are the things that actually change the number:
- Essential load — what you want running during an outage, and for how long
- Battery capacity — usually the single largest line on the quote
- Roof type and access — flat concrete and double-storey work cost more to mount safely
- Distance from the DB board — longer cable runs mean heavier cable
- Existing wiring condition — if the DB board needs work first, we quote that separately and say so
If we open something up and find a problem we did not quote for, we stop and re-quote before continuing. You will never get an invoice that is larger than the quote you signed without agreeing to it first.
What you get at handover
- Certificate of Compliance for the electrical installation
- Commissioning report with the system settings as configured
- Manufacturer warranty documents for panels, inverter and battery
- 12-month warranty on our workmanship
- A walkthrough of the app, including what to do if the system alarms
Questions we get about solar
Can I install panels later and just get a battery now?
Yes, and it is often the sensible order. A hybrid inverter and battery solve load-shedding immediately; panels start reducing the bill. We size and wire the inverter so panels can be added without replacing anything.
How long does an installation take?
A typical residential system is two to three days on site once stock is in. Larger installations or difficult roof access can run to a week. You get the dates in writing with the quote.
Do I need municipal approval?
If the system can feed back into the grid, most municipalities require registration. We tell you upfront whether your design triggers that, and what the local requirement is for your area.
Will it run my geyser?
It can, but it is rarely the cheapest way to solve hot water. A geyser is a large continuous load, and covering it pushes the battery and panel count up sharply. A timer or a heat pump usually costs less overall — we will say so if that applies to you.
