Commercial solar installation in Cape Town

Solar PV, battery storage and hybrid-power systems designed around real load profiles, protection, generator coordination and maintainable operation.

Engineering support built around the site.

A useful commercial solar solution starts with load behaviour and the client’s operating objective. Energy saving, backup duration, peak reduction and critical-load resilience lead to different system architectures.

AfriTech coordinates PV generation, batteries, inverters, protection, metering and existing standby generation. The result is a system designed to work with the facility rather than a collection of components selected in isolation.

Questions clients ask before we start.

Should a commercial system include batteries?

Not always. Batteries are justified by backup requirements, tariff structure, operating risk and the value of stored energy—not simply by the presence of solar panels.

Can solar work with an existing generator?

Yes, but the control philosophy, changeover arrangement, minimum generator loading and inverter compatibility must be assessed.

Do you separate essential and non-essential loads?

Where appropriate. A load assessment helps define which circuits must remain available during an outage and what capacity is required.

Discuss your commercial solar requirement.
