Offices in the Point and along Florida Road keep routers and small servers on a line-interactive UPS so the network rides through short trips.

Portable power stations are handy for flats on the Golden Mile where a fixed inverter is not allowed, and CCTV systems in Umhlanga often get their own 12 V backup supply.
Backing up in Durban
Durban gets its electricity from eThekwini Municipality, and the things that cut it here are often weather related. Summer storms bring lightning and heavy rain, flooding can damage substations and cables in low-lying parts, and cable theft still knocks out streets for hours. Most requests come from households on the Berea, in Durban North and in Umhlanga estates who want lights, wifi, the fridge, the gate and the alarm kept running, usually with an inverter and a lithium battery bank. Body corporates in beachfront blocks ask about lifts, booms and pumps. The coast is hard on electronics: humid, salty air corrodes terminals and heat builds up in closed garages, so ask installers where the kit should live.

- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a kit charging beside the guard hut for the radio, lights and the intercom
- Offices and home offices: a kit for a small office or home office to keep laptops and wifi going
