Solutions / Backup
Your power stays on when the grid drops
For homes and businesses in the city that are on the grid but no longer want to depend on it.
Your situation
The problem
When the grid goes down, everything stops: refrigeration, wifi, pumps, the till, the air conditioning. A generator has to be started, fuelled and maintained, it makes noise, and it never comes on instantly.
What you get
A battery that charges from the grid, and an inverter that takes over the moment the voltage disappears. Silent, automatic, indoors. You do nothing.
Backup system with i-Faya inverter and 15 kWh battery, Paramaribo.

Watches the grid and switches over automatically. Ready for solar panels later.

FAQ
Common questions
Will I notice the switchover?
The inverter takes over within milliseconds. Computers and refrigeration stay on; at most you see the lights blink.
Can I add solar panels later?
Yes. We fit a hybrid inverter, so panels can be added without replacing the system.
How long does installation take?
A standard backup is usually done in a day, with a short interruption while we connect it.
Will my bill go up?
The battery charges from the grid, so you use slightly more. Add solar and the bill goes down instead.
