Installations:
Businesses and Homes who just want backup
There are many flats, homes and small businesses who simply want the necessity of power when black outs / load shedding occur.

This requires an inverter and battery with no solar.

Installation takes 1 to 4 days and can be completed by a team of 2 certified installers and Rob the registered electrician.

Rewiring of your distribution board, installing change over switches and complying to all safety standards completes the process. Appliances like geysers, stoves, pool pumps are not connected to the inverter and will not have power during black outs.

Solar installations for Homes and Business with battery backup

Adding solar panels allow you to reduce your electricity bill by providing power to your appliances and charging your batteries which are needed for evenings and bad weather when your panels aren't producing much electricity.

When black outs occur you either use power from your panels or your batteries.

We have standard packages  but will always come out to assess your requirements providing the best solar solution for your home or business. Depending on the where and how many panels need to be installed will determine the length of installation.

Please note:
Installations designed to consume all the generated power (non-export)
This generator network configuration provides electricity to your property when required, is grid-tied, but designed to not export energy into the Eskom power grid.

Given that this installation is grid-tied, it will require Eskom authorisation, even though it does not export energy into the distribution network. Eskom authorisation can be obtained via application, payment of fees and signing new contracts covering the tariff, legal, regulatory and technical requirements.

The Eskom connection and use-of-system agreement will specify the maximum export capacity (MEC) at zero kW. ​

Tariff charges will not apply, but there may be costs incurred for the grid connection.

Any export of energy will constitute a breach of the Eskom agreement and the supply may be disconnected.

Depending on the criteria set out in Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act (ERA), the generator will either require registration or licensing, or be exempted from registration with NERSA.

Installations designed to export power into the grid

In this generator network configuration, not all generated electricity is consumed.
Some or all of it is exported into the grid for the purposes of getting an energy offset credit on your account, or for wheeling the energy to another customer so they can get an energy offset credit on their account.

This type of grid-tied generator connection requires Eskom authorisation, and depending on the criteria set out in Schedule 2 of the ERA, will either require registration or licensing, or be exempted from registration with NERSA.

Eskom authorisation includes application, payment of fees and signing new contracts covering the tariff, legal, regulatory, and technical requirements.

The Eskom connection and use-of-system agreement will specify a maximum energy export capacity into the grid as determined by the customer. Tariff charges may be applicable for the exported energy, and there may be costs related to connect the generator to the national grid.
For customers on a pre-paid supply.

Eskoms prepaid meters and metering systems are not currently able to calculate TOU and total exported energy. You will have to convert to billed metering with the appropriate TOU tariff if you are currently on a pre-payment meter.
