Store solar and off-peak power, cut demand charges and keep running through outages at farms, remote sites, factories, warehouses, office parks, Gauteng businesses, retail centres and schools.
Off-grid power is a core part of what we do. For farms, remote sites and anywhere without a reliable grid connection, we design solar and battery systems that supply your power around the clock, with the battery carrying your load through the night and cloudy spells.
We size the solar array and battery bank to your actual daily load so the site stays powered without relying on Eskom.
A battery energy storage system (BESS) stores electricity and releases it when it is worth the most. For grid-connected businesses that means:
Many commercial and industrial tariffs charge for your highest demand in the month (kVA), not only for the energy you use. A battery discharges during your demand peaks so the grid sees a lower maximum, which reduces the demand charge on your bill.
On time-of-use tariffs such as Eskom Megaflex, peak-period energy costs far more than off-peak. A battery charges from cheap off-peak power or surplus solar, then supplies your site during the expensive peak periods.
Without storage, solar generated when your site is quiet is exported or curtailed. A battery stores that surplus so you use more of your own clean solar power in the evening and early morning, which optimises your solar investment and lowers your reliance on the grid. See commercial and industrial solar.
When the grid goes down, the battery takes over essential loads so lights, tills, IT, security and critical equipment keep running through load-shedding and unplanned outages.

A battery energy storage system (BESS) stores electricity from solar or the grid and supplies it to your site when you need it.
Yes. Paired with solar and sized to your daily load, a battery system can power farms, remote sites and other sites without a reliable grid connection.
It discharges during your highest-demand periods, lowering the peak kVA the grid sees, which reduces the demand charge on your bill.
Often, yes. We assess your current inverter and system to confirm what is compatible before recommending a design.
We start with 12 months of bills or interval-meter data and your goals, then size capacity and power to suit your load.
Send us your last 12 months of electricity bills and tell us your goal, whether that is off-grid power, lower demand charges, arbitrage or backup. We will size a system for your site.
