At Energy Independence, we offer a wide range of energy solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. As energy experts, we aim to maximise our clients’ investments by creating customised energy packages that include energy efficiencies and backup solutions.

We calculate your needs based on your requirements. One of the most important calculations is your peak power demand which is the amount of power that will be drawn from the system during peak use . One of our skilled team members will recommend the size system you need based on your first consultation. Commercial and Hospitality projects are designed and built differently from residential installations and through a detailed process, our engineers will recommend fit-for-purpose energy solutions based on your company’s requirements.

Batteries have varying lifespans depending on their quality and technology. A high-quality, well-maintained lithium-ion solar battery can last up to 10 – 15 years. We ensure that a battery management system (BMS) is connected, significantly extending the lifespan of your battery. Proper maintenance is crucial, as a well-maintained battery will last longer and can even exceed its expected lifespan.

The angle and intensity of the sun’s UV rays on your roof significantly impact your power generation, making the location of your installed panels crucial. Factors such as shade, roof orientation, trees, other obstructions, weather conditions, and maintenance all influence the maximum output of your system. We design the most efficient layout for your building, considering all these unique factors to optimise performance.

Before proceeding with your solar system purchase, carefully consider the following factors: energy requirements, system design, appropriate technology, quality and durability of the system’s components, the credibility and reputation of your installer, product and installation costs, project duration, and your contractor’s experience and qualifications.

A properly installed system by a qualified installer will be reliably and reduce your monthly utility bills and provide sufficient power during unexpected power outages and load-shedding schedules. With proper maintenance and an adequately sized system for your energy needs, you will not be affected by power outages.
