How long can the battery run my essential circuits during an outage?

That depends on the battery capacity chosen and what is on the essential circuit, which we agree with you at the site assessment. A system sized for lights, routers and security equipment runs considerably longer than one also carrying an air conditioner or a borehole pump.

Do I need to replace the battery on a fixed schedule?

Batteries degrade gradually with use rather than failing on a fixed date, and the monitoring set up at handover shows you that decline over time, so replacement is planned around actual performance rather than guessed at.

Can a hybrid system reduce my electricity bill even without an outage?

Yes, that is a separate benefit from backup: a hybrid system draws from solar first during the day, which reduces what you pull from the grid whether or not the grid is actually down.

Power Backup Solutions

Solar backup power systems

Solar power installation designed for backup during outages, or as a way to reduce your monthly electricity bill. We design solar systems around your household or business consumption, with battery storage that keeps essential circuits running when the grid is down.

What this is

A solar system has three parts working together: the panels generate power while there is daylight, the battery stores it for use after dark or during an outage, and the inverter converts what the panels and battery produce into the power your appliances actually run on. Sizing any one of the three without the other two is how systems end up either overpriced or unable to carry the load they were bought for.

A hybrid system, combining solar, battery and the grid, is what most homes and small businesses actually want: it draws from solar and battery first, falls back to the grid only when needed, and can also be configured to keep charging the battery from the grid overnight so it is ready before the next outage.

Pricing

How this is billed

Priced per system, sized to your consumption at the site assessment. Battery storage capacity is the main driver of the figure.

After installation

Support and servicing

Panels and batteries carry the manufacturer warranty, batteries typically for a shorter period than panels, since a battery degrades with charge cycles in a way a panel does not. Monitoring lets you and us see system performance from your phone, so a drop in output is often caught before you notice it yourself. Call the support line for a system underperforming or a battery not holding charge.
