What to know locally in Gauteng
Battery shops along Beyers Naude Drive, in Wynberg and in Silverton stock 48V lithium modules, deep cycle blocks and the 12 V gate batteries that fail after a run of outages. Estates in Midstream and Silver Lakes replace boom and guard hut batteries in batches. Old lead acid goes to scrap dealers in Benrose, Wadeville and Pretoria West. Keep battery stacks locked inside: theft from garages and outbuildings is a real concern.
Power in Gauteng
Electricity in Gauteng reaches most homes through the metros: City Power in Johannesburg, the City of Tshwane and the City of Ekurhuleni, while Eskom supplies Soweto, parts of Sandton and Midrand and many townships directly. Load shedding is quieter than it was, yet cable theft, overloaded mini substations and violent Highveld thunderstorms still black out whole suburbs, sometimes for days while a fault is traced. Most households want the wifi, lights, TV, fridge, gate and alarm kept going, usually with a 5 kVA hybrid inverter and a 48V lithium module. Estates, offices and small server rooms ask for larger 3 phase systems. Summer lightning is the biggest danger to electronics here, so make surge protection part of every quote.
