Connecting solar power to a 3-phase supply is entirely possible. Options include:

1. Connecting your solar system to only one of your supply phases with a single-phase solar inverter.
2. Connecting your system into all 3 phases of your supply with a single, 3-phase solar inverter.
3. Connecting your system into all 3 phases with 3 separate single-phase inverters.

Victron Products – 5 years
Canadian Solar Panels – 25-year linear power output warranty; 12-year enhanced product warranty on materials and workmanship
Pylontech Battery – 7years from date of installation, extended for 3 years by successfully registering the product with Pylontech

The system is service-free and is monitored remotely by NuPower on the Victron platform, which our clients also have access to.

The system installation generally takes two days in total, weather permitting – one day for the system components and another for the electrical connections; most of the time concurrently, but it can also be spaced over two or three days.

The systems installation generally takes two days in total whether permitting. One day for the system components and another for electrical connections. Most of the time concurrently but can also be two or three days apart.

This will depend on the discharge load on the battery and this, in turn, will be determined by what is connected to the battery.

• 7kWh bank @90% discharge at a rate of 1kWh will last 6,3hrs
• 7kWh bank @90% discharge at a rate of 2kWh will last 3,15hrs
• 7kWh bank @90% discharge at a rate of 500Wh will last 12,6hrs

The battery is expected to last for 6000 cycles at an 80% discharge – this is roughly 16 years.

This will depend on the house and the kWh consumption of the house, but all our systems are modular and can be expanded on to become fully off-grid.

Yes, our system is fully modular and upgradable over time to suit your needs.

8 x 405W panels will, on average, generate 15Kwk/day, depending on the consumption of the home; assuming 25kWh/day, the saving will be the 15kWh/day, resulting in a 60% saving.

The entire house will benefit from the system under normal conditions with no interruption from the grid. Once the grid fails, only lights and plug circuits will receive power from the system. Pumps, ovens, stoves, geyser elements and underfloor heating, for example, wil not have power during power failures.

In most cases this is not possible, as the infrastructure does not allow for it. It is however possible at some estates with specialised metering in place. The system is capable of feeding power back into the grid where possible.

Grid Tied

This system consists of two components: solar panels and a grid tied inverter. This system produces energy and feeds into the house to reduce the consumption. The inverter is tied to the grid and needs it; if the power fails the systems switches off. If system needs to be upgraded to hybrid, either the inverter will have to be changed or a hybrid inverter will need to be added to the system to accommodate for the battery bank.

Hybrid

This system consists of three components: solar panels, inverter and battery bank. This system produces energy and feeds into the house to reduce the consumption and recharge the discharged battery bank. In the event of a power failure, both the panels and the battery bank supply power during the day, while at night, only the battery bank. The hybrid inverter can only operate with the battery bank connected. With panels it is a hybrid system; without panels it is only a back-up system.
