Solar Power Solutions

Using solar power alongside a backup system lets you utilise the sun’s energy and have electricity even when there are power outages. Solar panels make electricity during the day, and a battery stores extra power for later. If the main power goes out, the battery kicks in automatically. This setup can run your important devices or even your whole house, depending on the sizing of the equipment you choose to install.

Embrace Renewable Solar Energy With 
a Backup Power Supply

Solar power is a dependable and sustainable way to get electricity for houses and companies. Solar energy produces substantially fewer greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants than traditional energy generation. This makes solar power an important tool in battling climate change.

Solar energy is different from traditionally used fossil fuels because it’s renewable. With the advanced weather predictions and solar technology available today, it’s easier to predict solar energy quantities based on location and the time of day. Batteries to store extra solar power produced during the day make solar energy even more dependable for outage periods.

How Solar Systems Work

Understanding how solar power works creates a better appreciation of its benefits and potential. Solar systems convert sunlight into electricity. This conversion happens through a process known as the photovoltaic effect.

Solar panels, composed of photovoltaic (PV) cells, absorb the photons from sunlight and convert them into direct current electricity. This electricity is then changed into alternating current by an inverter. The efficiency of this process has significantly improved over the years, making solar power a viable and cost-effective energy solution.

Installing solar panels is a critical step in gaining solar energy. iDetic’s certified professionals optimise each installation for maximum sunlight exposure and energy production, whilst ensuring the installation is safe. Our process includes tailored steps to meet your specific needs and preferences. These steps are:

  • Site Assessment: Checking your roof type, evaluating the roof sub-structure, and whether your roof has space for solar panels.
  • System Design: Identifying the optimal location and layout for solar panels for the best electricity yield.
  • Seamless Integration: Connecting the solar power system with existing electrical systems.

The Advantages of Solar Energy

Solar energy offers multiple benefits. It’s an attractive option for those looking to reduce their energy bills, reliance on the power provider, and environmental impact. Other positives include:

Why Get a Solar System for Home?

Aside from cost savings and grid independence, solar systems can boost property value. Solar panels are a valuable upgrade, similar to renovating a kitchen or finishing a basement. This is because many buyers today are increasingly eco-conscious and appreciate the long-term financial benefits of solar power.

Load Shedding Backup Power

In South Africa, where power supply challenges such as load shedding are prevalent, solar power solutions offer a reliable alternative. iDetic stands out as a leading provider of solar power solutions in South Africa. Our solar solutions ensure that your home or business remains unaffected by power outages.

Our Comprehensive Backup Power Solutions

iDetic offers a range of backup power solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of South African consumers.

Choosing a Backup Power Supply for Home

When selecting a backup power supply, it’s essential to consider the advantages and disadvantages of different options.

Solar power offers a clean, renewable alternative to generators, which rely on fossil fuels and emit pollutants. Generators are also subject to fuel availability and changes in fuel prices. Solar power requires barely any ongoing expenses.

While both are sustainable energy sources, solar power is more reliable and easier to install in residential settings. Wind turbines are noisy, require manual intervention in excessive wind, need large spaces of land, and depend on wind direction and speed. Thus, wind power is often less reliable than solar power.

Financing Your Solar Investment

When considering the cost of a solar system, it’s also important to factor in the potential savings from reduced electricity bills. Often, these savings can offset the initial investment within a few years, after which the solar power system continues to generate virtually free electricity for its lifespan, typically 25 to 30 years.

iDetic provides transparent pricing and ROI calculations. We help our customers understand all the costs and benefits associated with solar power. Our team of experts works closely with each client to design a system that meets their energy needs and fits their budget. This ensures the best possible value for their investment.

Understanding Backup Power and Solar System Prices

The cost of solar power systems and backup power solutions can vary widely based on several factors, including the size of the system, the type of technology used, and the specific energy needs of a home or business. Understanding these costs is crucial for anyone considering making the switch to solar energy.

The initial investment in a solar power system can be significant. However, the long-term savings on electricity bills and the increasing affordability of solar technology make it a wise investment. With South Africa’s rising energy costs, the return on investment for solar power is compelling.

Get Energy Independence With a Home Power Backup System

Choosing iDetic for your solar and backup power needs means investing in energy independence, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. iDetic’s comprehensive offerings and dedication to customer satisfaction make it the perfect partner for those looking to embrace solar energy in South Africa.
