Solar Panel Installation Cape Town | Inverters & Battery Backup

About Our Solar & Backup Power Services in Cape Town

Load shedding has changed the way Cape Town residents and businesses think about electricity. Whether you are running a business on Long Street that cannot afford to close during power cuts, or a family in Gardens who needs lights, Wi-Fi, and the fridge running during Stage 4, backup power is no longer optional -- it is essential.

Abacas Solution has been providing electrical services in Cape Town for over 25 years, and solar and backup power has become one of our most requested services. We design, supply, and install complete solar PV systems, hybrid inverter setups, battery backup solutions, generator connections with changeover switches, and UPS systems for sensitive equipment.

Cape Town's electricity tariffs are among the highest in the country, making solar panels a strong financial investment beyond just load shedding protection. A properly sized system can dramatically reduce your monthly electricity bill while keeping essential circuits running during outages. Call 067 071 9472 for a free site assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a solar system cost in Cape Town?

Solar system costs depend on system size and components. A basic battery backup for load shedding starts from competitive rates, while full solar PV systems with batteries vary based on your energy needs. We provide detailed quotes after a free site assessment.

Will solar panels work during load shedding in Cape Town?

Solar panels alone will not work during load shedding unless paired with a hybrid inverter and batteries. We design systems that keep your essential circuits running during outages while also reducing your electricity bill.

How long will a battery last during load shedding?

Battery runtime depends on capacity and your load. A typical residential setup running lights, Wi-Fi, TV, and fridge can last 4-8+ hours. We size the system to cover your needs during Stage 4 and beyond.

Can I start with batteries and add solar panels later?

Absolutely. We install hybrid inverters that support both battery and solar. Start with a battery backup now and add solar panels when your budget allows -- the system grows with you.

Do you install generators with changeover switches in Cape Town?

Yes. We install manual and automatic changeover switches that safely connect your generator to your DB board. This prevents dangerous backfeed into the municipal grid and ensures seamless power switching.
