Power Up Your Home
Understanding Solar Inverters
Solar panels capture sunlight, but your home runs on AC electricity. That’s where the inverter steps in! Think of it as a translator, converting the DC power from your panels into usable AC power for your appliances. Inverters also control the flow and maximize the power you generate from the sun.
Off Grid Inverter
Off-grid inverters do not synchronize with the grid and works alone; meaning that this inverter is used when there is no grid power available and it supplies DC to AC instantly to power up appliances.
Grid Tied Inverter
Grid tied inverters connect our homes and can supplement all our surplus power back to the grid. This type of inverter delivers power to your appliances directly from your PV array when solar power is available and switches back to the grid when not calculating usage for the average home.
See the average daily usage of the appliances in our homes below and the power they use. With this we can calculate the size of solar system you need.
Hybrid Inverter
Hybrid inverters are a combination between solar and battery inverters, intelligently managing power from PV panels, batteries and grid at the same time.
A hybrid solar inverter is the combination of a solar inverter and a battery inverter into a single piece of equipment that can intelligently manage power from your solar panels, solar batteries and the utility grid at the same time.
How much can I save with a residential solar system in the Western Cape?
Most Western Cape homeowners cut electricity costs by 50–80%, depending on system size and energy usage.
Can solar power keep my home running during load-shedding?
Yes. Hybrid and off-grid systems with battery storage keep your essential appliances running through any outage.
How long do solar panels and batteries last?
Solar panels typically last 20–25 years, while lithium batteries last 8–12 years with proper care.
Does SomeWatt Solar provide installation and maintenance?
Yes. We handle full installation, system configuration, and after-sales support throughout the Western Cape.
