Centurion notes on backup systems & services
Townhouse owners in Eldoraigne and Rooihuiskraal often have a small garage or no outside wall to spare, so installers suggest a compact 3 to 5 kVA hybrid inverter with a wall mounted battery. In Irene and the Midstream area, bigger homes go for 8 kW units with room for solar later. Ask the installer to deal with the body corporate's paperwork and confirm the CoC will be handed over.
Backing up in Centurion
Centurion falls under the City of Tshwane, and its estates and townhouse complexes have grown faster than parts of the local network. Residents in Eldoraigne, Rooihuiskraal and Irene usually trace their outages to a faulty mini-substation, stolen cable along the main roads or a lightning strike during a summer storm. Body corporates are a big part of the work here: complexes want the gate, booms, guard hut, CCTV and sometimes a borehole pump backed up, then owners add their own inverter. Business parks along the N1 and in Highveld Techno Park ask for UPS systems on networks and servers. Check the estate rules before work starts, because many control where inverters and batteries may go.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: hybrids for the clubhouse, gatehouse and borehole pump with panels on the common roofs
- Homeowners: an 8 kW hybrid running essentials on battery, with solar panels added later
- Offices and home offices: a hybrid carrying computers and lights, with solar trimming the daytime electricity bill
