Grid Tied and Off-Grid Solar Power Options

 Switch to Solar Lighting in Your House and Never Be Left in the Dark Again

 We design and install off-grid solar systems for lodges and rural power requirements

 Supplement your existing electricity using grid-tied solar and let it pay for itself in 10 years

 Victron inverters with Power Assist can save you on wiring and diesel where existing generators are in use

Solar Power Facts


  • Far Cheaper to go totally off-grid than to run kilometers of cable
  • Can supplement your existing Eskom supply and pay for itself in 10 years
  • Green investment increases the value of your property
  • Solar Batteries nowadays last over 10 years
  • Solar House Lighting ensures you are never left in the dark again

Steps to Follow for a Solar Powered House


  • Firstly install a solar powered geyser to achieve 30 to 50% reduction in electricity bill
  • Switch house to LED and Energy Efficient lighting
  • Phase 1: Install solar electric power system to remove your house lights from the grid, ensuring blackouts are a thing of the past
  • Phase 2:Increase amount of solar panels, inverters and batteries to place serval plugs off-grid
  • Phase 3:Further increase amount of solar panels and batteries to place all plugs off grid and allow for 4 days autonomy

Solar Lighting Costs


A typical house solar power lighting system consists of

  • 2 x 250 Watt Panels
  • 4 x 225Amp Hour 6 Volt Solar Batteries with a 10 Year Design Life
  • Solar Charger Regulator with Battery Indicator
  • LED and Energy Efficient Lighting Bulbs refit ( 25-50 light bulbs or downlights will be exchanged for LED type )
  • 1KVA inverter
  • Wiring and Installation

Cost for Solar Lighting Refit is approx R28 500-00
Above system is 100% powered by the sun
This ensures that your houses lighting will no longer be part of your bill and more importantly that you will always have house lighting independent from whether you have power or not.

Off-Grid or Phase 2 Solar for a House


A typical house solar power lighting system consists of

  • 8 x 250 Watt Panels
  • 24 x 225Amp Hour 6 Volt Solar Batteries with a 20 Year Design Life
  • Solar Charger Regulator with Battery Indicator
  • 3 KW grid tied inverter or Off Grid Power System, both units have patented Power Assist technology
  • Wiring and Installation

Cost for 3 KW off Grid or Grid Tied Solar Power is approx R90 000-00


Save With Power Assist Technology:

Our Range of Victron Inverters
  • Assist Standard Power With Peak Loads
  • Save 50% fuel on existing Diesel generators
  • Reduce need for thick cable for short high peak demands
  • Modular design allowing single and 3 phase configuration with up to 25KVA per phase

Boost your power for peak loads
Save on Diesel or Wiring With Peak Demand Boosting
 Existing Diesel Generators run on Average at 15% Capacity and waste Diesel
 Automatically switches on Diesel Generators when batteries are at 80% Full Charge
 Generator runs at full capacity for less time to recharge batteries to 100%
 Can Boost existing grid or generator supply to allow for peak demands
 Allows for smaller more efficient generators
 Allows for thinner mains supply wiring to run short period peak loads


The capabilities of saving money via solar or going off-grid are huge so kindly

Off-Grid and Rural Solar Power



Example of a Generator and Solar Hybrid System
Off-Grid Rural Example


  • 1 Solar Panels or Wind Turbine
  • 2 Generator or Limited Grid Feed
  • 3 Bi-Directional Inverter with auto start for generator
  • 4 Solar Regulator With Maximum Power Point Tracking
  • 5 Deep Cycle Batteries with up to 20 Year Design Life
  • 6 Optional Grid Tied Inverter to Supplement Line and Provide Additional Charge to Batteries
  • 7 Point of Power Use

The above system can be retro-fitted to existing undersized generators to boost peak demand

Save on replacing or upgrading expensive generators

The solar panels in this system are designed to do most of the work

The generator runs for up to 80% less than previously

The supplied power is never interrupted and ideal for computers and sensitive equipment


Typical system for off grid lodge Hybrid Solar Sytem for Game Farm


These systems can work out substantially cheaper than ESKOM power and pay for themselves within 8 to 10 years
