REPRESENTATIVE CASE STUDY · ILLUSTRATIVE VISUALS, PENDING CONFIRMED PROJECT DATA
Client context
A townhouse in the eastern suburbs of Johannesburg where the owners mainly needed lights, internet, television and refrigeration to ride through outages.
The challenge
Most quotes bundled far more battery than the home would ever use. The owners wanted an honest system matched to a modest essential load and complex roof.
The Solaris solution
An essential-loads circuit was defined first. A compact hybrid inverter, a single battery module and a small array were sized to that circuit, leaving a documented upgrade path if needs grow.
Results
- Essential circuits carried through typical outage windows
- Capital cost kept proportionate to the actual need
- Documented upgrade path for future battery expansion
