Backup Power
Keep essential appliances running when the grid is unavailable.
From simple backup power to complete solar and battery systems, Solar8 helps you understand the options and choose a solution that fits your property, usage and goals.
Keep essential appliances running when the grid is unavailable.
Generate your own electricity and reduce grid consumption.
Combine generation and storage for greater control over your energy.
Every home is different. These recommended systems provide a great starting point, but every Solar8 recommendation is customised to your electricity usage.
These system ranges are starting points. Your final design is determined by your electricity profile, operating hours, available roof area and backup requirements.
A practical starting point for offices, retail stores, guesthouses and smaller commercial properties.
Balanced solar and storage solutions for larger offices, warehouses, farms and operational sites.
Engineered systems for high-energy users where production, demand and return on investment are the priority.
Battery storage helps shift solar energy into the evening and can provide backup power during grid interruptions.
It manages energy flowing between your solar panels, battery, property and the electricity grid.
We focus on the right balance of generation, storage, backup and future flexibility rather than simply selling the biggest system.
Your electricity usage and backup priorities guide the system design.
We work with established solar, inverter and battery manufacturers.
The installation is planned around safety, reliability and clean workmanship.
We remain available after installation for technical support and system assistance.
Solar is a significant investment. We can help you understand the system cost, expected energy benefits and available finance options so you can make an informed decision.
A few straightforward answers to help you understand the building blocks of a solar system.
Not necessarily. A battery backup solution can be appropriate when your main priority is keeping essential loads running. Solar panels can then be added or expanded when reducing grid consumption becomes a priority.
It depends on the appliances you want to run, their power requirements and how long you want them supported. Battery capacity should be sized together with the inverter and your expected usage.
Some battery platforms are designed for modular expansion. Future expansion should be considered during the initial design so that the inverter, wiring and installation can accommodate it.
A hybrid inverter coordinates solar generation, batteries and grid power. This makes it suitable for systems where solar generation and battery storage work together.
Yes. Three-phase properties require the appropriate inverter and electrical design. The final configuration depends on the property's supply and the loads that need to be supported.
Yes. The free assessment is designed to collect the information needed to understand your usage, property and goals before recommending a suitable direction.
Whether you're looking for backup power during load shedding, lower electricity bills or complete energy independence, our team is ready to design a system that fits your property, your budget and your future.
