Solutions / On-Grid
Generate your own power, with the grid as backup
For homes and businesses that have a connection but want a lower bill and less dependence.
Your situation
The problem
Your usage sits mostly in daylight hours: air conditioning, refrigeration, machines, computers. Exactly when the sun is strongest, you pay full price for grid electricity.
What you get
Panels on your roof generate what you are using at that moment. What you don't use goes into a battery, if you add one — which turns the same installation into your backup as well.

Your system
What it consists of
Solar panels
Monocrystalline, with mounting to suit your roof: zinc, concrete or a frame.
Hybrid inverter
From 5 to 100 kW. Combines sun, grid and battery in one cabinet.
Battery (optional)
Stores today's sun for tonight, and covers load shedding at the same time.
Indicative
How large should it be?
The size follows from your bill and your roof. Indicative — a survey tells you what it will actually produce.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I feed power back into the grid?
That depends on your connection and the utility's rules. We check what applies in your case during the survey.
Do I need a battery?
Not necessarily. Without one you save during the day; with one you also have power during load shedding.
Can my roof take it?
Zinc, concrete and corrugated sheeting almost always can. If in doubt we check the structure before quoting.
How fast does it pay for itself?
That depends on your usage and tariff. We calculate it from your own bills when we quote.
