What size inverter and battery do I need to beat load shedding?

For a typical South African home running lights, Wi-Fi, a TV and a fridge, a 3kW–5kW inverter paired with a 5kWh lithium battery covers essentials for several hours. Larger homes or those running geysers and pumps need an 8kW+ hybrid inverter and 10kWh or more of battery storage.

How much does a load shedding backup kit cost in South Africa?

Entry-level inverter-and-battery load shedding kits start from a few thousand rand, while complete hybrid solar systems with panels and lithium batteries range higher depending on capacity. Solar Power Space stocks options across budgets, with free shipping within South Africa on orders above R55,000 and all prices including VAT.

Do you deliver solar products across South Africa?

Yes. Solar Power Space delivers nationwide across all nine provinces from its base in Upington, Northern Cape. Orders above R55,000 qualify for free shipping within South Africa.

What is the difference between a hybrid and an off-grid solar inverter?

A hybrid inverter connects to the grid and batteries at once, charging from solar or Eskom and switching to battery during load shedding. An off-grid inverter runs entirely on solar and battery with no grid connection, suited to remote sites with no Eskom supply.

The AVS is an Automatic Voltage Switcher rated at 30 Amps. The AVS will switch off the equipment connected to it if the mains power goes outside preset acceptable limits and will re-connect automatically – when the mains power returns to normal.

Re-connection takes place after a delay (‘the start-up delay’) to ensure stability of the mains. In addition, the start-up delay provides protection against power-back surges commonly experienced after resumption of power in a power cut situation. Surge and spike protection is also incorporated to ensure protection against these commonly occurring events.
