Eskom has proposed a 36.15% increase for its 2026 financial year in addition to a 4% increase already approved by Nersa.

We already had a 13% hike earlier in April 2024.  The above will be followed by an 11.81% hike in 2027 and 9.10% in 2028.

It’s tme to get off the grid.

Solar system

BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEMS

We supply a diverse selection of rechargeable battery-driven power systems, delivering reliable 220-volt power through advanced Power Inverters and Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS).

They include hassle-free DIY plug-and-play systems that can be set up without needing an installation technician.

SOLAR PANELS

We supply a range of solar panels from small to large, arranged and connected in many ways to provide a range of voltages and able to charge any combination of of batteries.

Wind Generator

WIND GENERATORS

We supply wind generators that will provide power in low or high wind conditions and can be mounted on roofs, poles or on the ground.  They are typically used in conjunction with solar panels for charging batteries.

The one shown here operates in very low wind conditions.

BATTERIES AND SUPER CAPACITORS

We supply a range of batteries and super capacitors, suited to different needs.  They power inverters and UPS systems when power is not available from a city or the national grid.  They can be recharged either with electricity from the grid or, additionally from solar panels and wind chargers which will extend your off-grid power supply.

WHAT DOES ‘OFF THE GRID’ MEAN?

Being off the grid means not being hooked up to power provided by Eskom or cities.  Off-grid homes rely on alternative renewable energy sources such as the sun and the wind. When a building is off the grid, it means it has no connection or relationship with a utility and all the power it uses comes from a source that it generates on its own.

Loadshedding in South Africa, along with increasing costs of electricity and climate change considerations are driving people to invest in clean, renewable energy.

How do I start?

While it may not be possible to go completely off the grid immediately, one can take steps to reduce or eliminate the impacts of loadshedding with affordable initial investments in small to medium cost battery backup equipment.  These units provide 220 volt power during loadshedding and can be recharged using ether mains power, solar panels, wind generators or a combination of any of them.  You can start small and then add components later.  Contact us for a chat about options.

Can I go off the grid completely?

Yes, it’s completely possible to do that and depends entirely on your power requirements, budget and space needed for solar panels, batteries and optional wind chargers.  We can provide equipment for both homes, businesses.  The sky is the limit to what we can provide.  Contact us about options.
