Quantity: 1 R7,360.00 Subtotal : R7,360.00
Client: Private Residential
Project Type: Full off grid system for main house and three surrounding cottages
Location: Atlantis Farms, Western Cape
Date Completed: January 2024
The client’s requirement was to go fully off-grid from Eskom. They were paying R6000 per month just for access to electricity, and this excludes the monthly electricity usage costs. Client needed the main house and the three surrounding cottages to be fully independent of Eskom. They required a system that would provide enough electricity during the day, as well as having enough battery power when the sun goes down.
After doing the site visit, we determined that the east facing panels were to be mounted higher to avoid shading from trees and the west panels mounted lower to avoid the shade from the chimney.
The solution was to have 9 solar panels facing east and 9 solar panels facing west, mounted on a corrugated roof with hanger bolts fastened into the wooden substructure.
This system will help our clients go off grid and save R6000+ on monthly Eskom/utility expenses. The panels will produce enough electricity to supply the household during the day, as well as charging the battery bank, which has a large enough capacity to power the house during times when the sun is not out. For cloudy days, New Tech Power installed the system so that a generator can be connected if there be more than 3 days of no PV production to charge the batteries.
