Residential Solar Installation – Farmall
Residential Solar Upgrade â Farmall, Fourways
LOCATION: Farmall, Fourways
CLIENT: Private Residence
JOB TYPE: Solar Power Installation / System Upgrade
SYSTEM COMPONENTS: Additional Batteries, Inverter Upgrade
OVERVIEW: In response to intensifying load-shedding schedules, this homeowner in Farmall partnered with Solys Electronics to upgrade their existing solar setup. The goal was clear: extend backup power capacity and restore peace of mind during South Africaâs deepening energy crisis.
THE CHALLENGE:
Power outages were lasting longer â often up to 6 hours â putting strain on small-scale systems not originally designed for that duration. The client needed a solution that could handle full evening usage, including lighting, refrigeration, media, and occasional cooking.
Scope and Execution
Solys implemented a strategic system enhancement that included:
- High-capacity battery bank expansion
- A smart inverter upgrade for better load management
- Reprogramming the system for optimal day-night energy shifting
OUTCOME:
The upgraded system now delivers longer, smoother transitions during outages, with enough reserve to power the home through most evening blackouts. Energy anxiety is down â comfort and control are up.
HIHGLIGHTS:
â
Load-shedding-proof for longer outages
â
Seamless inverter performance
â
Enhanced energy storage
â
Future-ready configuration
