Hybrid, off-grid or grid-tied?
- Hybrid single-phase — the usual choice for houses: solar, battery and grid (or generator) in one unit, with backup during load shedding.
- Hybrid three-phase — for larger homes, guesthouses, farms and light commercial sites with three-phase supply.
- Off-grid — standalone sites or pure backup builds where the grid is weak or unavailable.
- Grid-tied / on-grid — string inverters that export or self-consume solar without a battery (or as part of a larger design).
- Commercial & industrial — high-power hybrids, PCS and related C&I gear.
Popular home sizes in South Africa are 5 kW, 8 kW and 10–12 kW single-phase hybrids. Match the inverter’s continuous and surge rating to your essential loads, and match battery voltage (48 V LV vs high-voltage) to the model. Pair with a compatible lithium battery, solar panels and the right cables and BMS leads. Prefer a pre-matched kit? See our bundle deals.
Every installation must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with local wiring rules (including NRS 097 where applicable). If you are unsure which size or brand fits, ask the Powerforum team before you order — we help with sizing and compatibility checks.
Frequently asked questions
Which inverter size do I need for load shedding?
Add up the watts of the circuits you want on backup (lights, fridge, Wi‑Fi, TV, maybe a geyser or stove on a larger system). A 5 kW hybrid covers many flats and small homes; 8–12 kW suits heavier evening loads. Battery kWh then decides how long you run when the grid is off.
Do you sell Deye and Sunsynk inverters?
Yes. We stock Deye and Sunsynk hybrids alongside Solis, Luxpower, Victron and others listed on this page.
Are prices VAT-inclusive?
Yes. Product prices on Powerforum Store include VAT unless a page says otherwise.
BloombergNEF (BNEF) Tier 1 for power inverters is a bankability list (not a quality certificate). Tier 1 inverter brands in this collection: GoodWe, Huawei, Solis, Sungrow.
Why Tier 1?
BNEF lists inverter makers whose own-brand, own-made units have recently been used in solar, storage or hybrid projects that closed non-recourse bank finance. Compared with makers that have not met that financed-project bar, Tier 1–listed inverters are more often accepted by lenders and insurers. Makers that keep supplying financed projects are more likely still to be around to honour warranties, and tend to show steadier supply and longer after-sales support — which can also help resale value. Always still match the model to your battery, panels and local grid rules.
