Solar that actually pays for itself.
Three ways to use the sun, and they solve very different problems. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your site — including the cases where solar isn't the right answer yet.
On-grid, off-grid or hybrid?
The difference isn't the panels — those are the same. It's what sits between the panels and your load.
On-Grid System
Lowest cost per unit. Best for homes with a healthy EB supply.
Panels feed a grid-tied inverter that runs your house directly. Anything you don't consume is exported to the board through a bi-directional meter and credited against your bill.
Right for
- Homes and shops with a reliable EB connection
- Anyone whose goal is simply a smaller electricity bill
- Rooftops with clear south-facing space
Worth knowing: No battery, so it stops during a power cut — by design, for lineman safety.
What we supply and fit
What a system actually runs
A rough guide to what different off-grid configurations support. Your real design depends on your load list and how many hours you run it — we work that out on site.
| Panel | Battery | Inverter | Typically runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 W | 40 Ah | — | DC bulbs and mobile charging |
| 100 W | 100 Ah | 300 W | 2 lights, 1 fan, mobile charging |
| 150 W | 120 Ah | 500 W | 3 bulbs, 2 fans |
| 380 W | 150 Ah | 1 kVA | 3 lights, 2 fans, mini TV, mixer |
| 550 W | 150 Ah | 1 kVA / 24 V | 3 lights, 2 fans, TV, mixer |
| 1000 W | 150 Ah | 2 kVA / 24 V | 5 lights, 4 fans, TV and more |
Indicative configurations only. Actual panel, battery and inverter sizing is confirmed after a site load study.

Two more things solar does well
Solar Fencing
A pulsed, low-energy fence that deters wild boar, cattle and intruders without harming them. Runs off its own panel, so a grid failure doesn't leave the field open.
- Works independently of grid supply
- Centralised fence-voltage alarm
- Low running and maintenance cost
- Used on farms, estates, factories and institutions
Solar Water Heating
Flat plate or evacuated tube collectors that take water to 60–80 °C using nothing but sunlight. A 100 litre system can replace an electric geyser outright.
- 100–300 L for homes; larger banks for hostels and hotels
- Flat plate and evacuated tube collector options
- Can save roughly 1,500 units a year per 100 L system
- 70–80% fuel saving where a boiler currently heats water
