“Some of your best ideas come when you have electricity.”
Considering Solar for your Home?
Thinking about it but not sure how it works? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many homeowners are curious about the ins and outs of solar power. Understanding the basics is key to figuring out if it’s the right investment for you and your home or business.
So, how does solar energy power your place? It’s actually pretty cool! The sun’s rays are captured by special panels called solar panels, which turn that sunlight into electricity. This clean and renewable energy can then be used to power your lights, appliances, and everything else you need in your home or business.
By understanding how solar energy works, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about whether it’s the right choice for you. And don’t worry, we’re here to help! As experts in the field, we’ll gladly explain everything in simple terms and address any questions you may have. We want to make sure you have all the information you need to make the best decision for your energy needs.

FAQ’s
What is a solar panel and inverter battery system?
There are two main types of solar panel and inverter battery systems: grid-tied and off-grid. Grid-tied systems are connected to the electrical grid, so you can use electricity from the sun or from the grid, depending on your needs. Off-grid systems are not connected to the grid, so you must rely on the battery for all of your electricity needs.
Solar panel and inverter battery systems can save you money on your electricity bill. The amount of money you save will depend on the size of your system, the amount of sunlight your home or business receives, and your electricity usage.
If you are interested in learning more about solar panel and inverter battery systems, we would be happy to discuss your options with you.
How does a solar panel and inverter battery system work?
1. Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
2. The inverter converts the DC electricity from the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity that we use in our homes and businesses.
3. The battery stores the AC electricity from the inverter.
4. When you use electricity in your home or business, the battery provides the electricity first.
5. If the battery is not full, or if you use more electricity than the battery can store, the inverter will draw electricity from the grid.
6. At night, or on cloudy days, when the solar panels are not producing electricity, the battery will provide all of the electricity that you need.
That’s a simplified explanation of how a solar panel and inverter battery system works. There are many other factors that can affect the performance of a solar system, but this is a basic overview.

How much does a solar panel and inverter battery system cost?
The cost of a solar panel and inverter battery system in South Africa in 2023 varies depending on the size of the system, the type of solar panels, the type of inverter, the type of battery, and the installer. However, in general, you can expect to pay between R50,000 and R250,000 for a basic system.
Here is a breakdown of the average cost of each component:
Solar panels: R10,000 – R12,000 per kW
Inverter: R5,000 – R10,000
Battery: R10,000 – R20,000
Installation: R10,000 – R20,000
The cost of a solar panel and inverter battery system can be offset by government rebates and tax breaks. In South Africa, the government offers a rebate of 25% of the cost of new and unused solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, up to a maximum of R15,000 per individual.
If you are considering installing a solar panel and inverter battery system, we would recommend getting quotes from several different installers.
This will help you compare prices and find the best system for your needs.
Can a solar panel and inverter battery system power a home or business completely?
What happens if there is not enough sunlight to power the system?
What is the difference between a loadshedding backup system and off-grid system?
If I take a backup system can I go off the grid later?
Yes, it is possible to transition to an off-grid setup later on, but it typically requires starting with a 5kW system or larger. By initially installing a 5kW system, you lay the foundation for eventually becoming completely independent from the electrical grid.
Do I really need a COC and what will happen if I don't have one?
What is the difference between a gel battery and a lithium battery?
Does the size of the solar panel matter?
The power output of a solar panel is directly related to its size. Generally, larger solar panels have a higher wattage and can produce more electricity.
However, it’s essential to consider your specific energy needs, available roof space, and budget when determining the appropriate size of solar panels for your installation.
What is the difference between a 5kva and 10kva inverter?
A 5kVA inverter is capable of providing up to 5 kilowatts (kW) of power at any given time.
On the other hand, a 10kVA inverter has a higher power capacity and can provide up to 10 kilowatts (kW) of power. This means it can handle a larger load capacity and accommodate more electrical devices or appliances simultaneously.
If you have a higher energy demand or plan to connect multiple devices with a significant power draw, a 10kVA inverter would be more suitable. However, if your power needs are relatively lower, a 5kVA inverter may be sufficient and more cost-effective.
How do I know how many inverters and solar panels I need?
Determining the number of inverters and solar panels to install depends on various factors, including your energy consumption, available roof or installation space, and budget.
Here are some steps to help you get started:
Assess your energy needs: Calculate your average daily energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This information can be found on your electricity bills or by using energy monitoring devices.
Determine solar panel capacity: Solar panels are rated in watts (W). Consider the average power output of a solar panel, typically between 250W to 400W. Divide your daily energy consumption by the panel capacity to estimate the number of solar panels required. Keep in mind factors like available roof space and any shading issues that may affect panel performance.
Consider inverter capacity: Inverters are selected based on the total capacity of the connected solar panels. Typically, the total panel wattage should not exceed the inverter’s capacity. For example, if you have 10 solar panels with a capacity of 300W each, the total would be 3000W (3kW), and you would need an inverter capable of handling at least 3kW.
Consult with professionals: It’s recommended to consult with solar installers or professionals who can perform a detailed assessment of your energy needs, conduct site surveys, and provide accurate recommendations based on your specific requirements.

What is a solar panel and inverter battery system?
A solar panel and inverter battery system is a setup that uses sunlight to generate electricity for your home.
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. They are usually installed on the roof or in an open area where they can receive maximum sunlight.
The inverter is a device that converts the electricity produced by the solar panels from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses.
The battery system stores the excess electricity generated by the solar panels. It allows you to use the stored energy when the sun is not shining, like at night or during cloudy days.
Together, these components work to provide a renewable and self-sustaining source of electricity, helping you reduce your reliance on traditional power sources and potentially save money on your energy bills.
