Inverter and battery installation

needs

Here's what you need to know. A complete 5kW hybrid inverter system with a 5kWh lithium-ion battery, including professional installation and a CoC, typically costs between R65,000 and R90,000. Prices can vary based on the brands chosen and installation complexity, and this is especially relevant for Alberton residents.

A modern lithium-ion (LiFePO4) battery can last over 10 years and handle thousands of charge cycles. A lead acid battery will likely need replacement within 2 to 3 years, making lithium far more cost effective in the long run. Yes, absolutely. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

It is required by law and essential for your home insurance. A CoC is a legal document issued by a registered electrician certifying that your installation is safe and complies with South African electrical regulations (SANS 10142-1).

Here's a practical breakdown. No. Any system that connects directly to your home's wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician to be safe and legal in South Africa. A DIY installation will void your home insurance and your equipment warranties. This is worth noting for Alberton homeowners.

This is one of the most common questions we get. For essential loads (lights, TV, router, a few plugs), a 3kW or 5kW inverter is usually sufficient. For homeowners in Alberton, to run heavier appliances like a kettle or microwave, you would need a larger 8kW+ system and a substantial battery bank.
