Vineyard Lodge in Franschhoek ran a noisy generator every outage, and guests could hear it from their rooms. We replaced it with a quiet battery system sized for the guesthouse.

PROJECT WITH DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
A Somerset West home needed power that stayed on through load shedding.
We fitted a 5kW hybrid inverter with a 10kWh wall mounted battery to cover the essential circuits.
New wiring and a rooftop isolator box went in first, before any panels touched the roof.
Mounting rails went up on the north facing side, where the roof gets full sun most of the day.
The result
Lights, the fridge and the Wi-Fi now stay on through outages, and the daytime bill dropped once the panels took over.
FAQs
How this can be done for me?
We walk your property, check your bills and work out what actually needs backup. For a guesthouse that usually means rooms, the kitchen and any pumps, not everything at once.
Why replace the diesel generator?
Guests kept mentioning the noise in their reviews, and diesel was getting expensive. A battery system runs silently and switches on before anyone notices the power has gone.
Porta nec aenean pellentesqu
The system is covered by a standard manufacturer warranty, and we check in after the first few months to make sure everything is still performing as it should.
What can the lodge run?
Every room, the kitchen, the laundry and the pool pump now stay on through load shedding. Only the hot water geyser switches off to save battery during long outages.
TACITIRS LOBORTIS
We size every system around how the building is actually used.
SITE SURVEY
We check the roof, the distribution board and every room before quoting anything at all.
CLEAN INSTALL
Wiring is routed neatly and labelled so any electrician can follow it later.
AFTER CARE
We check in after a few months to confirm performance.
