Bloemfontein is the Free State's capital and home to a big university, courts and hospitals, so offices, students and medical practices are all strong buyers of backup power.

Winters on the Free State plateau are cold, with frost, and summers bring thunderstorms with lightning. Families in Langenhoven Park and Brandwag back up lights, wifi, the fridge and the gate.
