Can I have a back-up power system if I cannot have solar?
Yes, this type of system is called an Inverter back-up Power Solution which consists of one or multiple batteries as well as an inverter, and would supply power to essential appliances (lights, plug points, Wi-Fi routers, and PCs) seamlessly in power outages.
Eskom power keeps batteries charged prior to power outages, which then provides a power supply for a limited amount of time during grid down-time.
Can I start with an inverter/battery and add solar panels later?
Absolutely! All our systems are modular and can be expanded on as and when necessary, or when additional capital becomes available. Solar panels can be incorporated into an Inverter and battery system, and similarly, additional panels and batteries can be added to an existing setup, as long as the batteries and panels are the same size as the ones on the existing system.

Additionally, JA Solar offers excellent after-sales support and warranties, so you can be confident in your investment.
What inverter back-up power solutions are available?
Eskom power keeps batteries charged prior to power outages, which then provides a power supply for a limited amount of time during grid down-time.
Key Benefits:
- Limited time power supply to essential appliances during off-grid hours
- Seamless transfer of power in outages
- Integrated into existing distribution board (DB)
What solar back-up power solutions do you offer?
A solar system generates electricity by use of solar panels to harvest the sun’s energy in the form of DC power, which can then be used to provide power to a home or building. The panels are connected to batteries and an inverter, the batteries store the DC power for later use and the inverter converts the DC power into AC power which is then distributed into your home’s electrical system, powering lights and appliances.
Key Benefits:
- Extended time power supply to essential appliances during off-grid hours
- Seamless transfer of power in outages
- Integrated into existing distribution board (DB)
- Clean energy production, with no carbon emission or excessive noise
- Reduced Eskom dependence and continuous day-light production of energy, providing more energy security and independence, particularly during increased number of loadshedding hours.
- Reduced electricity bills due to the independent generation of electricity
