Solar, Generator & Backup Power — Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about solar power, generators and backup systems. Still unsure? Send us a message and our team will help you while you're on the site.
☀ Solar Power
How much can solar save me?
Most Cape Town homes cut 30–60% off their monthly bill, and businesses often save 40–70%. Exact savings depend on system size, usage and your tariff. We model your usage and estimate payback of roughly 4–7 years.
How long does installation take?
A typical residential rooftop system is installed in 1–3 days, plus 1–2 weeks for design, approvals and grid/CoC paperwork. Commercial projects are phased to avoid downtime.
Do I need batteries with solar?
Not always. A grid-tied system without batteries lowers your bill, while adding battery storage keeps essentials running during load-shedding. We recommend the right mix for your budget.
Will solar still work during load-shedding?
Only if you have battery storage (or a hybrid inverter with batteries). Standard grid-tied inverters switch off during outages for safety.
Are your installations compliant?
Yes. All work is done by qualified staff and issued with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) where required.
🔌 Generators & Backup Power
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you must run. Lights, fridge, Wi-Fi and TV usually need 5–8 kVA; adding a geyser, aircon, borehole pump or heavy 3-phase equipment needs more. We do a load assessment and size it correctly.
Do you supply diesel, gas and inverter generators?
Yes. We supply, install and commission diesel, gas and inverter generators, and fit automatic transfer switches (ATS) so power changes over automatically when the grid fails.
How often should a generator be serviced?
Ideally every 250 operating hours, or at least once a year, plus monthly no-load run tests. Regular servicing prevents breakdowns and protects your warranty.
Why won't my generator start or keeps tripping?
Common causes are a flat battery, old fuel, clogged filters or an overload. Our standby team can diagnose and repair — and our maintenance plans help prevent it.
Can I combine solar with a generator?
Absolutely. Solar + batteries + a generator is the most reliable, cost-effective setup: solar and batteries carry daily loads, and the generator covers extended outages or heavy loads.
