REPRESENTATIVE CASE STUDY · ILLUSTRATIVE VISUALS, PENDING CONFIRMED PROJECT DATA
Client context
A four-bedroom family home in the Durbanville area with high daytime consumption, a pool pump and a home office that could not afford interruptions.
The challenge
The household wanted meaningful savings and dependable backup, but had received quotes ranging from clearly undersized to heavily oversized. They needed an honest, engineered answer.
The Solaris solution
A load profile was built from municipal bills and a site assessment. The design prioritised an essential-loads circuit, correctly sized hybrid inverter capacity and a battery matched to evening consumption rather than a generic bundle.
Results
- Daytime consumption substantially met by solar generation
- Uninterrupted power to essential circuits during outages
- Certificate of Compliance issued and SSEG registration completed
