Turnkey solar and backup power for homes and businesses — designed, installed, maintained and monitored in-house, and integrated with the same system that runs the rest of your property.
Rising tariffs and an unreliable grid have made energy independence essential, not optional. We design and install solar and battery-backup systems that cut your electricity bill, keep the lights on through load-shedding, and pay for themselves over time.
Every system is sized to your real usage and installed by our own team — supplied, commissioned and signed off with a certificate of compliance, then monitored and maintained for the life of the system.
Whether you're going solar for the first time, expanding what you have, or need a system put right, we cover the whole life of the installation.
Complete turnkey solar and backup systems for new builds and existing properties — site assessment, design, supply, installation and a certificate of compliance.
Adding panels, batteries or a larger inverter to an existing system, or upgrading an ageing backup setup into a full hybrid solar solution.
Keeping systems at peak output — inspections and panel cleaning, firmware updates, and remote performance monitoring that flags issues before you notice them.
Fast response when something isn't working — fault-finding, inverter and battery repair or replacement, and taking over and correcting systems installed by others.
Savings, backup, or full independence — we build the system that fits, and grows with you.
Generate your own power by day and cut your bill, drawing from the grid only when you need to — the most cost-effective way to go solar where backup isn't the priority.
Solar by day, stored power by night and right through load-shedding — the all-rounder for South African homes and businesses, with switchover so seamless you'll barely notice.
Keep the essentials — or the whole property — running through outages, with an inverter and battery system you can add solar to later.
Full energy independence for remote homes, farms and sites with no reliable grid connection.
Premium lithium battery banks sized to your usage and expandable as your needs grow — safe, long-life and low-maintenance.
See exactly what you're generating, storing and using from an app — with alerts and reporting that keep the system honest.
Prioritise critical circuits, shift heavy loads to sunny hours and protect your batteries — automatically.
Solar-aware electric-vehicle charging that tops up your car from the sun wherever it can.
Because we're an automation company first, your solar never sits in a silo. We tie it into the same Control4 platform that runs your lighting, climate and security.
The house can dim non-essentials the moment you switch to battery, show live energy on the same touchscreen that runs everything else, and move heavy loads to the sunniest part of the day — all by itself. One system, one app, one team that installed and supports the lot.
From a single home to a commercial rooftop, the same standard of design and installation.
From the first roof assessment to ongoing monitoring, the same team designs, installs and looks after your system.
An on-site assessment of your roof, your usage and your goals — savings, backup or full independence — before anything is specified.
A right-sized system design with clear yield and savings figures, an itemised proposal and finance options where you need them.
Professional installation by our own team, commissioned, tested and handed over with a certificate of compliance and full documentation.
Remote performance monitoring, maintenance and aftercare for the life of the system — we keep it producing.
We fit only proven solar, inverter and battery brands suited to South African applications — never the cheapest box that won't last.
…and more, all best-in-class and fit for South African conditions.
If your question is more specific, get in touch and we'll answer directly.
A hybrid or backup system will. Grid-tied solar alone switches off during an outage for safety, so if backup matters we'll spec a battery and inverter that change over seamlessly.
It depends on your usage and system size, but most clients see a meaningful drop in their bill from day one — we'll model the numbers for your property before you commit.
Yes. We design systems to be expandable — start with backup and add panels and batteries as your needs and budget grow.
Yes. Every installation is delivered with a certificate of compliance and the documentation you need for insurance and the municipality.
