Battery Backups & Inverters in Durban
Battery backups and inverters offer a dependable way to keep your home or business powered during periods of load shedding and unexpected outages by storing energy and converting it into usable electricity when you need it most. These systems collect electricity from your solar panels or directly from the grid and allow you to keep important appliances running, including lights, wifi, security systems, fridges and computers, even when the main supply goes down. Modern technology such as smart charge controllers and advanced battery management ensures the batteries remain healthy, safe and long lasting, while the inverter converts the stored direct current into the alternating current your household uses. Beyond providing backup power, these systems can also help reduce electricity costs through load shifting, charging when rates are lower and supplying stored energy during peak times, giving you better control over your monthly bills and greater energy independence.

Local Expertise
Durban’s strong year-round sunshine makes it one of the most effective regions in South Africa for solar power, but real performance depends on designing a system around local conditions. Factors like roof orientation, shading from nearby buildings or trees, coastal humidity, salty air, and your actual electricity usage all influence how much energy a solar PV system can generate and how quickly it pays itself off. When properly designed, solar systems in Durban can deliver substantial long-term savings, with many homeowners and businesses seeing meaningful reductions in electricity costs over time.
We also install solar systems across Kloof, Hillcrest, Ballito, Westville, and the wider Upper Highway area. Each installation is engineered around real on-site conditions to ensure consistent performance, strong return on investment, and long-term reliability for homes and businesses throughout the Durban region.
