Backup power for your home
Keep the essentials running when the power goes off.
Load-shedding and outages shouldn't stop your home. Amptex designs, installs and maintains inverter and solar systems sized to what you actually need to keep on, and our own electricians handle the connection to your DB board.
When to call us
Signs it's time to talk about solar or an inverter
- You want lights, Wi-Fi, the TV, security and the fridge to keep running during load-shedding.
- You already have an inverter and want to add solar panels or batteries.
- Your inverter shows faults or alarms, or the batteries no longer last as long as they should.
- You want a quieter, cleaner alternative to running a generator, or a system that works alongside one.
How we approach it
A system planned around your home
Every system starts with what you need to power and for how long. We look at your essential circuits, your DB board and where the inverter, batteries and panels can go, then quote a system to match. Installation includes the electrical connection and changeover at your DB board, and the electrical work is done and certified by our own team.
Already have an inverter that isn't working properly? We troubleshoot inverter faults, wiring and connection problems, and tell you whether a repair, a battery replacement or an upgrade makes the most sense.
For your home
What helps us plan your system
-
What must stay on
List the appliances and circuits you need during an outage, such as lights, plugs, Wi-Fi, the fridge, the gate motor and the alarm.
-
Your DB board and roof
Photos of your DB board, the roof area and where equipment could be mounted help us prepare an accurate quote.
-
Existing equipment
Tell us about any inverter, batteries, panels or generator you already have, including the make and model if you know it.
How pricing works
Solar and inverter systems are quoted after we understand your needs. What affects the price:
- The size of the inverter and battery capacity you need.
- Whether solar panels are included, and the roof and mounting work.
- The changes needed at your DB board.
Some installations need an on-site consultation before we can quote, and a refundable consultation charge applies to certain jobs. Quotations are valid for 7 days, and installations require a 75% deposit before equipment is ordered. See how our pricing works.
Before you book
Questions about solar and inverters
Can you fix an inverter that you didn't install?
Often, yes. We troubleshoot inverter faults, wiring and battery problems on existing systems. Whether a unit can be repaired depends on the fault and the manufacturer, and we'll explain your options before doing any work.
Do I need solar panels, or just an inverter and batteries?
An inverter with batteries keeps your essentials running during load-shedding by charging from the grid. Adding solar panels lets the system recharge from the sun and reduces how much grid power you use. We'll recommend what suits your home and budget.
Can I keep my generator?
Yes. Many homes use an inverter for everyday outages and a generator for longer ones. We install and service both, and can advise on how they work together safely.
