What does an inverter do?

An inverter converts direct current (DC) from batteries or solar panels into the alternating current (AC) a site's equipment runs on. In a backup system it also charges the batteries and switches the site over to them when the grid supply fails.

Can you install batteries for backup power during load-shedding?

Yes. Solar Smith supplies and installs inverters and battery systems, sized to the load they have to carry, so the site keeps running when the grid supply goes down.

Do you service inverters and batteries after installation?

Yes. Maintenance and servicing are part of what Solar Smith does once a system is running.

Which sites do you install inverters and batteries on?

Shops, offices, industrial sites and farms across Cape Town and the Western Cape: anywhere the work has to carry on through an outage.

Which areas do you cover?

Solar Smith takes jobs across Cape Town and the Western Cape, from the office in Kommetjie on the South Peninsula to Noordhoek, Fish Hoek, the Southern Suburbs, the Northern Suburbs, the Helderberg, the Cape Winelands and the West Coast. Tell us where the site is when you ask for a quote.

Power when the grid goes down

The inverter turns battery and solar power into the mains supply the site runs on, and the batteries store it for when the grid goes down. We size the system to the load it has to carry, supply and install it, then maintain and service it.
