The Challenge
The tipping point for me was when my MacBook battery gave out, highlighting the critical role batteries and backups play in our daily lives. Previously, our only backup during power outages was for our Wi-Fi, leaving us vulnerable to disruptions. Constant power fluctuations were affecting productivity, and frequent battery replacements for our gate and alarm system added unnecessary expenses and frustration.
The Solution
Viewing power installation as a long-term investment, the decision to go solar was straightforward – especially since I work from home. While I hadn’t set a specific budget for oneSolar, I was impressed with how they aligned with my financial expectations while delivering an exceptional solution.
The Outcome
Now, power outages from Eskom go unnoticed, and I only realise it’s happening when friends mention it. The transformation is clear, with our monthly electricity bill dropping from around R4500 to just R1000.
