Compact Home Energy Solution

Step into reliable, independent power with this professionally engineered 8.5 kVA Solar Power & Battery Backup Kit — designed for medium to large households seeking energy stability during load-shedding and rising electricity costs.

An Ideal Starter Solar + Battery Package for Suburban Homes

This complete solar solution combines an advanced hybrid inverter, premium-grade LiFePO₄ battery storage, and high-performance monocrystalline panels for efficient, long-lasting energy generation. Compact yet powerful, it's the perfect balance of performance and affordability.

This 8.5 kVA / 10 kWh hybrid solar system with 8×460 W panels delivers reliable backup and daytime generation, optimised for South African homes under load-shedding — a top pick for moderate electricity users in Gauteng.

System Performance & What You Can Run

Our 8.5 kVA (6 500 W) inverter with 10 kWh battery and 8 × 460 W solar panels (2.76 kW array) is designed to handle most essential household loads comfortably — with the power and efficiency to make a real dent in your monthly electricity bill.

Daily Solar Generation

During the day, the system produces around 13.8 kWh of solar power daily (based on Gauteng's average 5 peak sun hours per day). This energy powers your home directly while charging the battery for use at night or during load-shedding.

Typical Household Loads This System Can Comfortably Run Include:

• Fridge, freezer, Wi-Fi router, LED lighting, TV, and laptops for 20+ hours on battery power alone.
• Heavier appliances like kettles, microwaves, washing machines, and irons can be run intermittently during the day while solar is generating.
• Perfect for households that want silent, seamless backup power and lower reliance on the grid — no more noisy generators or dark evenings.

The 6.5 kW continuous output inverter easily manages combined household loads, while the 10 kWh battery provides ample energy storage for night use or during extended outages.

Realistic Monthly Electricity Savings (Gauteng)

Using current 2025/26 Gauteng electricity tariffs — which range between R2.60 – R3.50 per kWh depending on your municipality and usage block — this system's 2.76 kW solar array can generate roughly 414 kWh per month of usable solar power.

That Translates to Average Savings of:

• R1 100 – R1 450 per month (typical residential usage range)
• Even higher savings if you self-consume most of your solar energy during peak daylight hours
• Plus, long-term protection from annual electricity tariff hikes

These savings exclude the added value of having full backup power during load-shedding, which ensures you never lose productivity, comfort, or security when the grid goes down.

Tailored for households seeking cost-efficient solar + battery coverage, this 8.5 kVA system helps offset peak municipal tariffs (R3+/kWh) and secure power during outages.

Optimised for South African Conditions

This configuration is built specifically for Gauteng's strong solar yield and urban household energy patterns. The balance between solar generation, inverter power, and battery storage ensures you get maximum value and performance year-round — with minimal maintenance.
