Numbers come from the monitoring, not the brochure.
Pinelands. Backup essentials. August 2026.
No panels, no fuss. A 5 kW·h battery and inverter on a dedicated essentials circuit, installed in one morning.
Body corporate rules made panels complicated. A backup-only system solved the actual problem, which was the outages, and the inverter is ready for panels if the rules change.
Durbanville. Household hybrid. July 2026.
Twelve panels and a 10 kW·h battery on a north-facing roof. Bill down 83 per cent in the first full month.
The household used 620 kW·h a month with a strong daytime load from a pool pump and home office. Twelve 550 W panels cover the day. The battery carries the evening and any outage.
Bellville. Commercial. May 2026.
Seventy-two panels across two roof planes, three-phase, no battery. Daytime grid draw cut to near zero.
Office loads are almost entirely daytime, so a battery would have added cost without saving much. The array offsets the tariff peak and exports a little at weekends.
Somerset West. Whole-home. March 2026.
Twenty panels, 15 kW·h of storage, geyser on a timer and a 7 kW EV charger fed from the array during the day.
The client wanted the car charged from the roof. Smart load management holds the charger until the battery is above 80 per cent, then diverts surplus.
