Our most popular residential setup. You operate independently from the municipality most of the time, but your grid connection acts as a silent safety net on low-sunshine days. This avoids the large battery bank required for a fully off-grid system, keeping costs reasonable while still protecting you from load shedding completely.
A grid-tied system feeds solar power directly into your property during daylight hours, reducing what you draw from the municipality. It is the most cost-effective entry point into solar, but it offers no protection during load shedding. When the grid goes down, this system goes down with it.
Battery selection is where the most critical — and most costly, mistakes happen in solar installations. Not all batteries are equal. Temperature, ventilation, charge cycles, and peak current requirements all affect performance and lifespan. We spend considerable time researching battery technology so our clients don't have to.

Talk to an ExpertRC Solar & Electrical is registered with, certified by, and affiliated to the key industry bodies that govern safe, legal, and professional solar and electrical work in South Africa.
We base every design on your actual electricity consumption not guesswork. Here's the science behind our sizing process.
Based on your average monthly electricity spend, we calculate how many kWh you use. This determines the exact number of panels and batteries needed for your system.
Cape Town enjoys excellent solar irradiance. In summer we calculate with 5 peak sun hours per day one of the best in South Africa.
We review your monthly electricity spend to determine actual kWh consumption. We look at 3–12 months of data for accuracy.
We assess your roof size, orientation (ideally North-facing), shading, and structural capacity for optimal panel placement.
We calculate the exact number of panels, inverter size, and battery capacity needed to meet your energy goals and budget.
