Solar Backup Power Systems in Rustenburg

Not every property needs a full solar array. Sometimes the goal is simpler: keep the lights, Wi-Fi, fridge, gate motor and security system running when the grid goes down.

A dedicated backup system with battery and inverter, charged from the grid or solar, does exactly that.

Backup power system with inverter and battery

Backup systems combine an inverter and battery with a changeover to selected circuits. They can be grid-charged only, or combined with solar to reduce running cost. We design the backup circuit around the loads that matter most and size the battery for the outage length you need to cover.

How it works
01

Identify essential circuits

02

Size inverter and battery for autonomy

03

Install changeover and backup circuit

04

Test under simulated outage

Common problems
  • Whole-house backup draining the battery in minutes
  • No separation between essential and heavy loads
  • Batteries not recharging quickly enough
  • Fridges and freezers warming during long outages
What you gain
  • Essentials stay on during outages
  • Lower cost than a full solar system
  • Fast recharge when grid returns
  • Simple, reliable operation
Frequently asked
What can a backup system run?

Typically lights, Wi-Fi, TV, fridge, gate motor and security. Heavy loads like geysers and stoves usually stay off backup.

Can I add solar later?

Yes, many backup systems are designed so solar can be added when budget allows.

How long will it last in an outage?

That depends on battery size and the loads connected. We size it to the autonomy you ask for.
