Yes, all our solar and inverter installations in Cape Town are signed off by a registered electrician with a valid wireman’s licence. EFI also employs a registered electrical engineer who handles all our SSEG (small scale solar electricity generation ) applications with the City of Cape Town.
Having a back up inverter does not actually increase your electricity bill. To some , it may seem as though they are experiencing an increase in their electricity expenditure, however their perceived increase is actually the amount that they were saving during the time of loadshedding.
Our Inverters and lithium ion batteries store and discharge electricity very efficiently ( with very little loss) Because the inverter and battery installation eliminates loadshedding, some people may concluded that the inverter has increased their electricity consumption. This is simply not the case. Adding solar panels to a inverter back up system will obviously reduce the clients electricity costs drastically as they harvest solar energy from the sun.
