Grid goes down. Nothing else does.

Solar and battery backup for houses in Nelson Mandela Bay, fitted since 2016 by the same four people who quote it.

What you get

All of it, on every install. There is no bronze package.

Through the dip

The changeover takes under twenty milliseconds. The router stays up, the fridge never clicks over, and the TV does not reboot itself.

Every kilowatt visible

An app on your phone shows what the panels made, what the house pulled and what is left in the battery, hour by hour, back three years.

COC in your hands

Every job leaves with an electrical certificate of compliance and the Nelson Mandela Bay embedded-generation paperwork already filled in.

One crew, start to end

The person who measured your roof is on it the day it goes in, and answers the phone the day something trips.

The kit on the wall

Nearly everything you pay for ends up on one board, usually in the garage or the scullery: an inverter, a battery, a small distribution board and a shunt counting every amp in and out of the house. We fit Sunsynk and Deye inverters with Hubble or Freedom Won batteries. All four have people in South Africa who answer a phone when a unit fails, which matters more in year six than a spec sheet does in year one. Panels go on aluminium rail bolted through to the purlins, never on wooden battens and never on a bracket someone bent on site. The board is labelled. Every breaker says what it feeds, in plain words, in permanent ink. When the next electrician opens it in 2036 he should not have to guess, and neither should you.

Reviews

Two winters now and I have not thought about the schedule once. The only way I know the power is off is the neighbour and his generator.

They quoted 4.2 kW and the app says 4.2 kW. I have had three other trades through this house who could not manage that.

Riaan Steyn · Lorraine

A battery cell packed up in month seven. Phoned on the Tuesday, new unit on the wall Thursday morning, nobody argued about who was paying.

Nomvula Ngcobo · Walmer

They put the array on the back roof so the front of the house still looks like a house. Nobody else even offered to.

Half past seven on a Thursday

The street goes dark at 19:12. You hear it happen up the road, one house at a time, and then the security light on the corner drops out. In here the extractor fan carries on. The kettle boils. The lamp over the counter does not so much as dip, and the dog does not get up off the tiles to see what happened. Somebody’s phone buzzes with the schedule and the children argue about whether it still counts as load-shedding if you cannot tell. The dishwasher finishes its cycle at twenty to ten. Nobody in the house looks for a candle, a torch, or the manual.

How it goes in

You send a photo of your DB board and your last two municipal bills. We work out what the house actually runs, not what a package says it runs.
One of us comes out, gets into the roof, measures the rafters and the cable run to the board, and writes a fixed price. Nothing on that page moves later.
Install is one day for most houses, two if the board needs rewiring. We are there from seven to four and your power is off for about three hours of it.
You get the COC, the app, and a walk through the board before we pack up. We phone you a month later to go through the numbers with you.

Send us a photo of your DB board

It is the fastest way to a real number. Photograph the open board and your last two municipal bills, send them through, and you will have a written price inside two working days. No appointment, no salesman in your lounge.
