Inverter and battery backup installation in the Western Cape

An inverter and battery system takes over automatically when the grid goes down so lights, Wi-Fi, security, fridges and tills keep working. We size the system around the loads you want protected, install it safely and connect it properly to your distribution board.

What is included

  • Assessment of the loads you want to back up
  • Supply and installation of the inverter and lithium batteries
  • An essential-loads circuit so only chosen circuits are backed up
  • Integration with solar panels, now or later
  • Surge protection and correct earthing
  • Commissioning, testing and a clear explanation of how to use it

What you can keep running

  • Lights, Wi-Fi, TV and computers for working from home
  • Fridges, freezers and security systems
  • Gate motors, alarms and CCTV
  • Tills, card machines, servers and key business equipment

How it works

  1. List what matters

    Tell us what must stay on and for how long.

  2. We size the system

    We choose inverter and battery capacity to match, and quote clearly.

  3. Install and wire

    The inverter and batteries are mounted, wired and connected to an essential-loads board.

  4. Test and hand over

    We simulate an outage, check everything switches over and explain the system.

Inverter & Battery Backup Systems: your questions answered

Can I run my geyser or stove on a battery system?

Heavy heating loads drain batteries quickly and are usually kept off the backed-up circuits. Gas geysers and stoves are a good alternative; see our gas pages.

Can I add solar panels later?

Often yes, if the inverter is chosen with that in mind. Tell us your plans so we specify it correctly.

How long will the batteries last in an outage?

It depends on battery capacity and what you are running. We size the system for the hours and loads you tell us about.

Do you install the system in a business?

Yes. We back up key circuits and equipment in offices, shops and industrial premises.
