Solar Solutions for Every Property
Homeowners want quiet loadshedding backup with lower Eskom bills. A 5kW hybrid inverter with a 5.12kWh lithium battery gives most homes 6 to 10 hours of backup power. It’s enough to run lights, fridge, WiFi, and security systems through any stage of loadshedding.
Businesses and factories need uninterrupted operations. Our 3-phase inverters handle smart load control and keep production lines, servers, and point-of-sale systems online. Farms rely on off-grid systems for irrigation pumps, cold storage, and livestock equipment. We size each system correctly for the load.
Solar installers and developers get reliable stock, full technical specifications, and fast dispatch. We support your projects with consistent product quality and rapid turnaround.

What warranty comes with the products?
All inverters carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty, with Deye inverters backed by a 10-year warranty. Lithium batteries carry a 10-year warranty across all brands including Dyness, Hinaess Powergem, and Gotion. Solar panels carry a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year power output warranty. JA Solar, Jinko Solar, and Longi panels all meet these standards. We honour all warranty claims directly without requiring customers to deal with overseas manufacturers. Our technical team handles fault diagnosis, replacement coordination, and installation support throughout the warranty period. South African customers benefit from local stock holdings across seven warehouses, which means replacement units are dispatched quickly without lengthy international shipping delays. All warranty claims are logged and tracked by our support team. Deye and Luxpower inverters are supported by authorised local service centres. We recommend registering your products after installation to ensure full warranty coverage from the date of commissioning.
Which inverter brand should I choose?
Deye is our top-selling inverter brand for residential installations across South Africa. It offers reliable UPS switching under 10 milliseconds, dual MPPT solar charge controllers, and WiFi monitoring via the SolarmanPV app. Deye hybrid inverters range from 5kW to 16kW and suit most homes and small businesses. Luxpower inverters offer competitive performance at a lower price point and work well for budget-conscious homeowners needing 3kW to 12kW capacity. For 3-phase commercial applications, the Deye HV series and Esener inverters handle industrial loads effectively. Esener and SRNE off-grid inverters are recommended for farms and remote properties that require full independence from the Eskom grid. The right choice depends on your daily energy consumption, peak load requirements, battery preference, and budget. Our technical team provides free system sizing and inverter recommendations as part of every quote. Contact us to discuss your specific loadshedding protection needs.
What is the best inverter for loadshedding in South Africa?
Hybrid inverters are the most effective solution for loadshedding protection in South Africa. The Deye 5kW and 8kW hybrid inverters are the most popular models for residential use due to their seamless switchover during Eskom outages, which occurs in under 10 milliseconds. This switching speed means most sensitive electronics including computers, televisions, and medical equipment experience no interruption. The Deye 8kW hybrid inverter suits homes with geysers, pool pumps, or air conditioners running simultaneously. Luxpower hybrid inverters provide a reliable alternative for homes and small businesses requiring 3kW to 12kW of backup capacity. Both brands support LiFePO4 lithium batteries for deep cycle storage. A hybrid inverter paired with a 10kWh lithium battery provides 4 to 6 hours of backup for a standard South African home during Stage 4 loadshedding. Adding solar panels allows the system to recharge batteries during the day for continuous protection.
Which lithium battery is best for home solar in South Africa?
A Dyness, Deye, or Hinaess Powergem LiFePO4 lithium battery paired with a compatible hybrid inverter is the recommended starting point for South African homes. The Dyness 10.24kWh battery tower offers modular expansion, a 6,000-cycle lifespan, and a 10-year warranty in a compact wall-mounted design. The Deye 5kWh and 10kWh batteries integrate directly with Deye inverters for plug-and-play installation without additional configuration. Hinaess Powergem batteries support high charge rates up to 1C, which means faster solar recharging during peak sun hours. All brands use LiFePO4 chemistry, which is safer and more durable than older lithium-ion technologies. Built-in battery management systems protect against overcharge, over-discharge, and overheating. A 10kWh battery provides sufficient backup for most South African homes during Stage 4 loadshedding, covering essential loads including lights, refrigerators, computers, and phone chargers for 4 to 6 hours.
