Solar & Battery Backup Installation in Centurion
Load-shedding has made reliable backup power a necessity for South African homes and businesses.

Solar & Backup Systems We Install
-
Battery Backup Systems A battery inverter system stores grid power when available and supplies your home during load-shedding — keeping lights, Wi-Fi, TV, and essential plugs running through every stage.
-
Grid-Tied Solar PV Systems Solar panels charge your batteries during the day and reduce the power you draw from the grid — significantly cutting your monthly electricity bill.
-
Hybrid Solar Systems A hybrid system combines solar generation, battery storage, and grid connection — automatically managing power sources to maximise savings and minimise outage impact.
-

Frequently Asked Questions — Solar Systems
How much does a solar battery backup system cost in Centurion?
A basic 5kVA inverter with 5kWh battery costs from approximately R35,000–R55,000 installed. A full solar + battery system starts from around R80,000 for a typical home. We provide a detailed fixed quote after assessing your specific needs — call 078 912 0847.
How long will a battery keep my house running during load-shedding?
This depends on the battery capacity and what you're running. A 10kWh battery running lights, Wi-Fi, TV, and a few plugs can easily last through a 4-hour Stage 6 block. We size the battery for your actual consumption — not a generic estimate.
What is the difference between a hybrid and off-grid system?
A hybrid system stays connected to the grid and uses it as a backup — maximising solar use while keeping the grid as a safety net. An off-grid system is completely independent of the grid — requiring larger battery and solar capacity. Most homes use hybrid.
Do solar panels work during load-shedding?
Yes — with a hybrid inverter and battery. Standard grid-tied systems without batteries switch off during load-shedding for safety. A hybrid system with batteries keeps generating solar power and drawing from batteries during outages.
Do I need council approval for solar in Centurion?
Systems above 1kW require notification to the City of Tshwane under the Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) regulations. We handle the registration process for you as part of the installation.
