Stay powered even in extended outages


Power cuts in South Africa aren’t just load shedding - they can last for days. When the grid goes down, most backup systems (like UPS units and small inverters) run out of power, leaving you without lights, Wi-Fi, or even a working fridge. With the right solar inverter system, you can keep your home running while your neighbours scramble for alternatives.


How one homeowner stayed powered through a 4-day outage


Before solar:

Monthly electricity bill: R3,000 (approx. 810 kWh per month) No backup power for extended outages


Reho's solution:

5kW hybrid inverter 5kW solar panel array 10kWh battery backup Total cost: R140,000 (excl. VAT)


How it pays for itself:

With a solar rent-to-own plan over 72 months, your monthly payment is around R3,000 (credit rating dependent). The system generates 750 kWh per month, covering nearly all your usage. Batteries provide 9 kWh of backup power, keeping essentials running even during long outages.

The real benefit

Reliable power, no matter what


  • 90–95% off the grid = Up to R2,800/month saved

  • Your net electricity cost drops to just R200–R300 per month from the very first month

  • Power through outages that last days, not just hours

  • No more worrying about spoiled food, dead devices, or sitting in the dark


Instead of waiting for the power to come back, take control of your energy today.
