From rooftops
to power plants.

It depends on what you want to keep running and for how long, not on the size of the house. Most homes we supply land between 3 kW and 10 kW with a 5 kWh to 15 kWh battery. Send us a recent municipal bill and a list of what has to stay on during an outage, and an installer will size it properly rather than guessing from floor area.

Usually not on a standard home battery, and that is normal. A geyser and an electric stove each draw several kilowatts continuously, which empties a typical home battery in well under an hour. Most homes back up lights, plugs, WiFi, the fridge, the alarm and the gate, and either move the geyser onto a timer that runs while the sun is up, or switch it to heat pump or gas.

No. An inverter and battery on their own will carry you through load shedding by charging from the grid between outages. Panels are what stop you paying for that electricity. A lot of homeowners start with backup and add panels later, which is why we supply backup systems as their own product rather than only as part of a solar package.

We supply the equipment, and a certified installer does the installation and issues your Certificate of Compliance. Use the installer directory to find one in your area and request a quote, and they will price the whole job including labour, mounting, wiring and sign-off.

Yes, provided it is a hybrid or backup system with a battery. A grid-tied inverter with no battery is required by law to shut down during an outage, so it produces nothing exactly when you need it. Every residential backup or hybrid system we supply is specified to keep running through an outage.

It is sized on the power you use while the sun is up, not on your total bill. Twelve months of bills, ideally with monthly demand figures, show how much of your load solar can carry without exporting or wasting energy. The commercial and industrial systems our EPC team builds run from 35 kW to 50 MW.

Yes, with a battery. Solar alone cuts the energy you buy, but a cloudy afternoon or an evening peak can still set your maximum demand for the month. A battery that discharges at those peaks, known as peak shaving, is what brings the demand charge down.

Yes. Rent-to-own and fixed-period finance spread the cost over a term, and with a power purchase agreement you pay only for the kWh the system generates, with no upfront cost. Which route costs least depends on your tax position and how long you will stay on the site.

Utility-scale solar from 50 MW to 500 MW. One EPC team takes the project from survey and design through supply, build and commissioning.

Yes. Battery energy storage (BESS) lets a plant move solar output into the evening peak and smooth what it delivers to the grid. Whether storage pays depends on the tariff or offtake agreement, so it is modelled during design.

Through project finance from banks and development finance institutions, or through a power purchase agreement where the offtaker pays per kWh generated over a 10 to 20 year contract.

Yes, as part of a hybrid microgrid. Solar and batteries carry the load through the day and into the evening, and the site’s generators cover the rest, so operations keep running while burning far less diesel.

No. A hybrid system works with the generators you already have. The controller runs solar and batteries first and starts the generators only when they are needed, which cuts fuel use, fuel deliveries and engine hours.

Large motors draw a surge when they start, so the inverters and batteries are sized for those peaks, not only the average load. Send us your load profile and equipment list and the design is built around the loads that matter most.

Low-speed turbines of around 3 MW, built to generate at lower average wind speeds, for utility and large commercial projects.

It has to be measured. A wind project starts with a resource study, usually at least a year of data from a measurement mast at turbine height, before turbines are chosen or the project is priced.

Yes. Wind often blows in the evening and at night, when solar is not producing, so a hybrid plant spreads generation across more of the day and makes better use of a single grid connection.

AC chargers suit depots and workplaces where vehicles stand for hours. DC fast chargers suit vehicles that need to be back on the road quickly. The right mix depends on how many vehicles you run, how far they travel and how long they are parked.

Yes. Chargers can be paired with a solar carport or rooftop array and a battery, so vehicles charge from your own power during the day and the battery limits the load on the grid when several charge at once.

They can if they are not planned for. The capacity of your supply is checked first, then load management shares the available power between chargers, with battery storage added where the connection is too small.
