System Impact
Key Results
- Seamless backup during load shedding with automated changeover to essential loads
- Reduced daytime grid consumption through solar self-consumption
- Improved electrical safety with correctly protected PV and backup circuits
Before / After
Before
Frequent outages impacted daily routines and appliances had no protection from sudden power loss.
After
Stable backup power on essential circuits during load shedding, with solar generation reducing monthly grid usage.
Outcome Performance
Successfully installed a 5kW hybrid system that provides reliable load shedding protection while reducing monthly electricity costs through solar self-consumption.
System Size
5kW Inverter / 5.45kWp PV
Battery Capacity
5.12kWh (LiFePO4)
Estimated Savings
±R2200/month (usage dependent)
Client Testimonial
"The installation is very neat and the changeover is seamless. We’re finally comfortable during load shedding and we can see the savings already."
