Off Grid Systems - FAQ

Commercial Power:

Can I get extra power?

Our system allows you to run on a day to day basis without having to adjust anything, however if your business or home requires extra power at any time you can override the system via your panel and get the extra boost you need.

Is there a back up facility within the system?

Yes, unlike being connected to the grid when you can be completely without power during power cuts, our systems have a by-pass switch so that you can run off your generator should anything untowards happen with your battery bank. Meaning you have access to power at all times.

How long does it take to get a system installed?

From your initial call to getting the system installed can take as little as 2 weeks. Once we have spoken to you and got a full understanding of your power needs we will send you a full quotation. If you are happy with the quote your goods can be dispatched as soon as payment is received.

Will a local electrician be able to install the system easily?

Yes, we supply full documentation and installation diagrams for both domestic and business systems. If they have specific queries they can also speak to us to discuss what they need to do.

Why not just buy a large generator?

The traditional route would be to install a large generator that meets your maximum power requirement, and run the generator whenever you need power. This can be a costly and ineffective way to supply power.

By installing an off grid connect system, you will dramatically reduce the run time of the generator and have the benefits of 24 hr power supply.

The generator will run in defined periods, or if the batteries become discharged past a preset level. By programming these run times to coincide with your power usage you can further reduce your fuel usage. The system is fully automatic starting and stopping the generator when required.

I already have a generator, how can you help me run it more efficiently?

We have an inverter solution for clients that have already have larger generators which are costly to run. You can reduce your fuel costs by up to 70% by using the inverter for the smaller loads.
