Solar and battery backup that keeps your office working
When the power goes, so do your phones, your internet and your staff's productivity. We design solar and battery systems around the equipment your business cannot do without, so that work carries on.
The problems this solves
Every outage sends staff home or leaves them waiting.
Servers and switches crash and reboot when the power flickers.
The generator is noisy, costly to run and needs someone to start it.
Electricity costs climb every year.
Everything in Solar & Backup Power
Solar PV, inverters and battery storage sized to keep your systems and staff online when the grid is down.
Load assessment
We measure what your office actually draws and identify the equipment that must stay on.
Solar PV design and installation
Panels sized for your roof and your consumption, reducing your electricity bill as well as your risk.
Hybrid inverter and batteries
Seamless switch-over to battery when the grid fails, with no reboots and no dropped calls.
UPS for critical equipment
Uninterruptible power for servers, firewalls and switches, with clean shutdown if the battery runs low.
Load prioritisation
Servers, network, phones and workstations first. Geysers and air conditioning only when there is power to spare.
Surge protection
Protection for sensitive IT equipment when the power comes back on.
Remote monitoring
Battery level, solar production and faults visible from your phone and watched by us.
Scalable design
Start with backup for the essentials and add panels or batteries later.
Financing
Finance options that spread the cost over the life of the system.

Questions we are asked most
Do we need solar panels, or is a battery enough?
A battery and inverter alone will carry essential equipment through an outage. Adding panels extends the backup time and lowers your electricity bill. We quote both so that you can compare.
How long will the backup last?
It depends on what is connected and the battery size. We size the system to a backup time you choose for the equipment that matters most.
Why use an IT company for solar?
Because the goal is keeping your systems running. We know which equipment is critical, how much it draws and how it behaves when power switches over.
