Empowering South African Homes
A Journey Towards Energy Security and grid-free living
Kouga Renewables has a residential systems installed base in excess of 350 customers from Port Elizabeth to Mossel Bay. Since 2015 we have been providing customers with safe and reliable energy. In 2016 we installed our first Lithium-iron battery system and haven’t looked back since. Early adopters were more focused on savings, but as our country’s energy woes drag on the shift has been to larger systems offering energy security for extended power outages. Continual technological advancements in generation, conversion and storage of energy enable consumers to contemplate a grid-free lifestyle, whilst not compromising on their standard of living.
All you need to know about
Inverters and battery storage systems
Uninterrupted Power Supply
Never worry about power outages during load shedding again. Our Inverters and Battery Storage Systems are designed to keep your household running smoothly, providing you with a reliable source of electricity when you need it most.
Tailored Solutions for Your Unique Needs
We understand that every situation is unique. That’s why we offer customized solutions to match your specific requirements. Whether you need a pure backup power solution for your business, household, or to maintain your lifestyle without disruptions, we can design a system that fits your needs perfectly.
Ideal for Non-Solar Environments
Inverters and Battery Storage Systems aren’t limited to solar-powered homes. They are a versatile solution, making them perfect for properties with thatched roofs or apartments where solar panels may not be feasible. These systems provide you with security and peace of mind, ensuring your power supply remains steady, even in areas where solar installations are challenging.
Return on Investment Considerations
While Inverters and Battery Storage Systems provide invaluable security and power continuity, it’s essential to note that they may not offer the same return on investment (ROI) as solar installations. However, the peace of mind and uninterrupted power supply they offer often make them a worthwhile investment, especially in areas prone to power disruptions.

Solar Solutions for your home
Quantifiable Return on Investment
Investing in solar generation isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint; it’s also a sound financial decision. Our solar solutions provide a quantifiable return on investment (ROI) by offsetting your utility bills. Over time, the savings on your energy expenses can be significant, ultimately making your investment in solar a wise financial move. In some cases, our systems can even take you off the grid, eliminating your reliance on traditional utilities altogether.
Battery Charging with Solar Power
Our solar solutions not only provide you with clean, renewable energy but also offer an efficient way to charge your batteries. Whether you have battery storage systems for backup power or energy storage, our solar panels can harness the power of the sun to keep your batteries charged and ready for use when you need them most.
Grid Export and Credit Opportunities
Depending on municipal bylaws and regulations, the excess power generated by your solar system can be exported to the grid. This means that when your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the surplus can be sent back to the grid, and you may receive credits on your utility bill. It’s a win-win situation, as you not only benefit from clean energy but also potentially earn savings or credits through grid exports. Our solar solutions are designed to help you make the most of these opportunities while contributing to a more sustainable future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through a process called photovoltaics. The panels capture sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity.
Do I need a battery backup with my solar installation?
It depends on your specific needs and goals. A battery backup system can provide energy security during outages and increase energy independence, but it’s not always necessary.
How long do solar panels and batteries last?
Solar panels can last 25-30 years or more, while battery lifespans vary but are typically around 10-15 years.
What maintenance is required for solar panels and batteries?
Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance, while batteries may need periodic checks and occasional replacements.
Will I still receive an electricity bill with solar panels and batteries?
You may receive a reduced electricity bill or none at all, depending on your system’s size and energy consumption.
Are there incentives for residential solar installations?
Many regions offer incentives, tax credits, and rebates for residential solar installations. Check with your local government or utility for available programs.
How do I choose the right size for my solar and energy storage system?
The size of your solar system should be based on your energy consumption and goals. A professional installer can help you determine the ideal system size.
How much will a residential backup and solar installation cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the system. Factors like location, energy consumption, and available incentives also influence the price.
How long does it take to install?
Installation times vary, but it typically takes a few days to a few weeks to complete a residential solar installation.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, although at a reduced capacity compared to sunny days.
