Power on your terms

Backup power, wired properly

We connect an inverter and batteries to the circuits you need during an outage, and keep heavy loads like geysers, stoves and EV chargers on mains so your batteries last. Where your board needs it, we separate essential circuits with a DB board upgrade.

Pair it with smart control

A remote geyser switch lets you heat water while the grid or solar is on, and keep it off during outages. Read our geyser and inverter guide →

FAQ's

Backup power questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

See all FAQs →

What can an inverter run during a power cut?

Typically lights, plugs, Wi-Fi, TV, fridge, gate motor and alarm. Heavy loads like geysers, stoves, ovens and EV chargers usually stay on mains so the batteries last.

Can a geyser run on an inverter?

A standard 3–4 kW geyser element draws more than most home inverters and batteries can support, so geysers are normally left off the backup circuit and controlled with a timer or remote switch.

Is inverter work certified?

Yes. Inverter and battery installations are electrical installations and should be certified.
