Geyserwise Controller

This is installed to Monitor the Solar Geyser Temperature and control the Element’s function in the colder winters months.

This is an example of a Rooftop Solar Geyser installation. This particular installation is a 200L Rooftop Geyser heated by two flat plate collectors. The system is controlled by a Geyserwise Controller, and during the summer months the system uses no electricity to heat the water, the sun does all the work.

Coastlands Hotel

69kWp Grid Tied Solar System

Coastlands Hotel Musgrave, based on Durban’s North Ridge Road incorporates two SolarEdge 27.6KW Inverters, powered by 69kW of DC Solar Power. The system is designed on the top most roof of the hotel, a curved Clip Lock North/South curved roof. The system is designed to feed the entire hotel when the grid is up, supplementing the draw from the Municipality, and monitoring the load with the integrated Solar Edge Main Meter.

Zimbali COASTAL Estate

Schneider Hybrid Solar System

This three-phase hybrid solar system was designed using the Schneider XW+ range of inverters. The system is designed to maximise the yield of the sun, feeding power back from the essential circuits through to the non-essentials.

The Batteries, Gel Backup batteries are used to support the house load in the event of an outage, the solar supplementing the batteries during sun hours.
Being so close to the Ocean, the Solar Panels have been installed using a Clipping Mounting Structure on the steel roof and a weighted ground mount structure on the slab preventing any roof piercings.

To decrease municipal reliance, this house has been designed with two solar geysers, heating all the hot water supplies in the house with the help of the sun. Geyserwise controllers were installed so that the client has full control over their electrical heating temperature and usage, maximising their efficiency.

Rhino Sands Safari

Off-Grid Solar Plant

Rhino Sands Safari is a completely off-grid Luxury Safari Camp situated in the Manyoni Game Reserve in Mkuze. Being self-sufficient for both water and electricity the camp is at the forefront of design.

Rhino Sands is powered by a Three-Phase Schneider XW+ inverter system, incorporating both 25kWp AC and 6kwP DC Coupling into the Solar system. The power storage is in the form of 200ah 2V Cells, connected to give the system 2 days autonomy of power. The Solar System has diesel integrations, where in the event of multiple rainy days the generator will supply the system with sufficient power to reset the storage to maximum capacity allowing the system to continue operating.

The Design of this solar system was built in such a way to maximise the system autonomy and minimise human interaction, allowing the complete automation of Solar, Batteries and Generator to feed the lodge.

Wozani Ridge

Hybrid Solar Installation

Get your foot in the door with a Hybrid Solar System, maximising the amount of power you produce but including backup power. Hybrid Power is the first step in getting off the grid.

This site was installed in Hibberdene as part of an estate installation. This client entered the Solar Market with a simple hybrid system and is able to pay it off quicker than usual. The excess power produced in this house is fed back to the Body Corporate and sold onto their next-door neighbours.

Victoria Country Club

Battery Backup Solutions

We offer tailor-made solutions to keep your essentials running during outages. We support homes, offices and warehouses.

This project is installed in Victoria Country Club Estate: An SMA Sunny Island linked to the Home Manager powered by 8 x 200ah VRLA Backup Batteries. This offers the client in excess of 8 hours worth of Backup Power running all their essential circuits

The Croft

Semi-Off-Grid Solution

Solar to reduce the electrical bill and batteries to keep outages at bay, a semi-off grid solution will have you one step closer to utility freedom.

Crofters BnB positioned in the hills of Hilton countryside, have a sense of freedom when it comes to their electrical usage. Their visitors are pleasantly surprised to hear they produce the majority of their electricity, and with the integration of backup batteries and a diesel generator this system never switched off.

Bothas Road

Rooftop Solar Solutions

Water heaters and geysers are a major draw on your electrical bill. By installing solar linked to your geyser you are able to dramatically reduce these costs.

Our Client in Bothas Hill has seen the proof in the pudding when it comes to his Solar Geyser. A 300L Options has been installed on his roof, offering his household complete independence through the majority of the summer months. With the installation of a Geyserwise controller, our client is able to control the heating temperature his geyser is set to, giving them the control.

Thanda TENTED CAMP

Comprehensive Energy Audit

Do you have a high electric bill, and not know what is using so much power. A Comprehensive energy audit will point you in the right direction.

Thanda Tented Camp is a Completely Off-Grid Site. A Comprehensive Energy Audit was conducted and it was found that between their two Pool Pumps, their pump electrical usage was a large portion of the total. Both Pumps were taken off the main Solar System and now run off their own systems, when the suns out the pumps run.

Training and Safety

Working at Heights

Work Smart, play harder. We send all our staff on safety training to ensure all works are done according to local safety regulations. We have the best staff, we want to keep them around.

You can see our staff being training on the correct usage of scaffolding and working at heights. As the majority of our Solar Installations are rooftop, we put a large emphasis on working safely at heights and ensure everyone has adequate training and safety equipment.

Design Work

PreDesign, Construction and Hand Over

A renewable solution should be designed to meet a need. We offer the peace of mind knowing that all our offerings are engineered by an experienced engineer and not just an out of the box solution.

This project was designed to reduce our client’s electrical bill with a grid-tied solar system. The client has the peace of mind knowing he has a double layer of Surge Protection, Earthed Protections, Grid Quality Monitoring, Bonding, Over Current Protections as well as the redundancy of a third party inspection.

Inkanyiso Creche

Rooftop Solar DC Based System

Are you mobile, or remote? A DC Based system may be ideal. This type of system is ideal for ranger camps, camp sites, schools and mobile vehicles.

We got involved in an outreach supported by Tanda Safari Camp, where we installed a completely Off-Grid DC system, with USB Charging, DC Lights, Water Pumps and even Wifi. The Creche is completely independent of a utility, so this is their only means of power.

System Maintenance

1MW Rooftop Solar

Like most things in life, Renewable Systems work better and last longer when they are maintained correctly. Let us know if your system needs maintenance.

The above is a 1MW Rooftop Solar Plant that produced in excess of 10% more power after cleaning. The increase in power productions seen on this system equates to  451kW Hours of extra power produced after cleaning per day.

Black Rock LODGE

Off-Grid Solar Solution

Off-Grid is now achievable with our tailor-made solutions. With 10-25 year warranties, we install systems that will stand the test of time.

This project is installed in a remote corner of our country, just outside of the Isimangaliso wetlands. Powered off a Schneider based Hybrid System, linked to the latest technology Lithium-Ion Battery, and supported with a Diesel Generator integration, this lodge runs all year round.
