Estimates only, assuming about 4.8 peak sun hours a day (South African average) and your tariff. Final sizing is confirmed after a site assessment.

(—) How we size it

Three numbers that matter.

Inverter power

How much can run at the same time. Kettles, geysers and pumps push this up; lights and Wi-Fi barely move it.

kWh

Battery storage

How long you can keep going without the grid or the sun — evenings, nights and loadshedding.

kWp

Solar panels

How much free energy you harvest each day to run the house and refill the batteries. This drives your bill savings.
