AWPower: Voted as one of MyBroadband's Top Home Solar Installers in SA!

Off-Grid
Solar PV

A common misconception that people have when thinking of going solar, is that they want to take their building off the grid. What they don’t realise is that, in most cases, a grid-connected system is much more cost-effective and lower in maintenance than an off-grid system. However, there are some cases where a truly off-grid system is the right choice.

Grid-tied
Solar PV

The business case for grid-tied, roof mounted solar PV has become a no-brainer following the rapidly rising price of grid electricity, together with the falling costs of solar system equipment and the introduction of tax incentives for commercial businesses.

AWPower are trusted solar installers for many companies, businesses and commercial buildings; view one of our recent installations in Cape Town below.

Battery-tied
Solar PV

If you are looking for energy security, plus savings on your electric bill for your home, office or business, then a battery-tied system with a hybrid inverter may be the solution you need. These systems can be pricey, and if budget is a challenge, starting with a battery backup system that is fully expandable to solar PV in the future may be the smart way to go.

AWPower offers bespoke solar design and installation services for your unique needs.

Solar Maintenance & Support

Is your solar investment backed by a company that ensures long-term performance and peace of mind? With the right care, your solar system will consistently outperform grid-supplied power, especially as electricity prices rise.

We chose a company that was stable, reliable, has been in the market for a good time and could deliver what they said. We have not been disappointed."

"Fantastic service from a professional team. I have been in contact with AWPower for a number of years now and their service has been excellent! The most recent project was installing a hybrid solar system at my residence. I was kept updated throughout the design, costing and inventory ordering process and installation took less than 2 days. The team are always available to attend to my queries and can adjust my system remotely to cater for changing requirements caused by higher levels of loadshedding. I highly recommend AWPower."

Ruchir Severaj Google Review

"I can highly recommend AWPower for solar installations. They give competitive prices and provide excellent workmanship. They installed an 8kw system for me with 2x100Ah batteries and 15 solar panels. They have been around since 2015 and know what they were talking about... not like many pop-up solar installers."

Frans Snyders Google Review

"Knowledgable, helpful staff greatly facilitated our choice of an inverter. Competent, tidy installation. Back-up service, while we familiarised ourselves with unit function, was excellent. The system has worked flawlessly to date."

Electric Vehicle Solar Integration

EVs charged with “dirty” electricity from the South African grid, which is mainly coal-powered, are not as sustainable as you may think. Charging your EV from renewable energy – such as a solar PV system – not only makes the vehicle much more sustainable, it also reduces the vehicle’s running costs substantially.

They were happy to look an inverter they didn't (and don't) install and quickly figured out what was wrong. Most solar people only know their own stuff. Replacement works with my strange batteries, installed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend.

Great experience dealing with AWPower!
Christiaan and team sorted out our problems, and facilitated all approvals with CoCT... very knowledgeable and willing to assist! Enrico and staff handled installation on site very well, and quickly.
Highly recommended!

AWPower are a top end alternative energy (AE) engineering organisation. In the security estate, in which I am a member of an AE technical committee, AWP have themselves designed and engineered first time innovative and groundbreaking solutions serving the aging six station sewage pump system, the lake water pumping systems, the +-5km perimeter security & camera system, and the admin offices. The sewage pump stations have been fitted with solar pumping inverters to automate the system and to provide remote detailed management thereof. The system also provides a simplified visual display alarm system dashboard for monitoring in the 24hr security office staff. All available excess power generated “overflows” to provide the extensive lake to ponds pumping systems with cost saving power, and further excess is exported to the grid. Payback for the comprehensive system has been calculated at 4 years, and the system has been designed as an expandable AE system to cater for the estate’s future needs. I must state that the high level of AWPower’s engineering and workmanship stands above any other alternative energy company that I have had contact with in my corporate and private experience, and are thus highly recommended for any AE task, be it domestic or commercial.

I recently used AW Power and was thoroughly impressed. Their overall service is outstanding, professional, reliable, and everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. The team showed excellent attention to detail, catching even the small things others might miss. Their staff are not only friendly, but deeply knowledgeable, always ready to help with any concern.

One of the biggest strengths is their constant availability: whenever I had questions or needed a resolution, they responded quickly and effectively. And the workmanship? Truly top‑tier, solid, precise, and clearly done with care.

I’m very satisfied with AW Power and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking high quality and dependable service.

The team was efficient, professional, and incredibly neat with the installation of my solar system. Everything was explained to me clearly and patiently, which made the whole process feel much less daunting. They even helped me calculate expected savings based on my invoices, which made it easier to see the affordability. I always felt like I was in good hands — no pushy sales tactics, just genuine care to make sure I understood everything. Highly recommended!

The professionally designed solar and battery backup system installed by AWPower at my home has been a game changer. It has been running for 6 years, and they have continued to provide excellent service and advice when repairs, changes and upgrades have been necessary. In an industry filled with fly-by-night operators, it's reassuring to work with actual professional engineers who demonstrate a high level of knowledge and attention to detail. If you're looking for quality design and execution, AWPower are hard to beat.

AWPower did a fantastic job from start to finish. I needed a solar setup that wasn’t just about generating power but also worked seamlessly with my home automation and energy management systems. They understood that from day one and helped make it happen.

The installers were brilliant—efficient, clean, and professional.
The electricians were top-notch, making sure everything was done safely and neatly.
The engineers ensured the system was optimized for both performance and future integration.
And Dean in sales? He tied everything together—patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to work through the details to get the best setup.
There were 22 implementation revisions, and not once did they push a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, they made sure I got the best value while keeping the system fully compatible with my automation setup. Now, my home runs smarter than ever, and the solar system fits right in.

Great team, great work—highly recommended!

Achieved more than we expected for less than we feared.
As trustee of a mid-range complex, we went through a rigorous process to select our supplier of a solar solution. AWP came out on top, and we have not regretted using them. Our aim was to reduce our electricity bill, and we have met every target!

AWPower recently installed a solar system, including an EV charger (as pictured), at our home. We were extremely impressed with the process, and with the professionalism, knowledge, and efficiency of all involved. I would highly recommend AWPower to anyone considering installing solar energy.

We are proud to be associated with AWPower. The company went out of their way to assist and design new user-friendly technology through solar and inverters, that will help manage our sewer pump stations, resulting in huge savings. They went the extra way to think "out of the box" and help us become the first estate in the country that will be using the technology they introduced to better manage sewer levels, create savings and making us a leader in the industry. Their workmanship is of the highest standards.

We can recommend AWPower to any company and welcome you to call us to discuss more you wish to know.

A year ago, after extensive research, I chose AW Power to install my solar system. They not only offered the most competitive price but also showcased their expertise through countless emails and consultations.

They installed my Victron inverter and battery backup system expertly, and it’s been running flawlessly ever since. A year later, I saved up to add the solar panels, and once again, Christian worked wonders to secure the panels I wanted (thanks once again!).

The team did a fantastic job with the installation, leaving me with a beautifully set up and reliable system. They were also incredibly helpful in answering all my questions, even assisting with integrating the system into my Home Assistant setup (home-assistant.io), allowing me to manage my entire home and solar setup seamlessly.

It’s great to be mostly off the grid and never have to worry about rising electricity costs or load shedding again. **Highly recommended!**

AWPower have a very professional approach to doing business, which can be intimidating, but their knowledge of the system and their willingness to address my concerns convinced me to engage them to install a solar system for my home. I am not disappointed; the installation team was friendly and efficient, and the system works well.

Very professional in all aspects, from the site visit and quoting to the installation and final hand over as well as the monitoring of the system afterwards.

When commissioning a big home and business solar installation, it was really reassuring to have a team of engineers behind it - check that the selection we made was right, and compatible, and overseeing the installation process and sign-off, which was also done by a refreshingly professional crew of roofers and electricians.

I am very impressed with the service I have received from AWPower. I was assisted by Dean, who listened to my household needs and gave me great suggestions. Enrico headed the installation and it looks great. When I experienced issues they assisted me quickly and efficiently. I can already see at least a 3/4 reduction in my electricity usage from the grid.
The service was professional and friendly. I am very happy to recommend them.

AW Power have installed an inverter and batteries at my Mother's retirement cottage - along with replacing all the ceiling lights with downlighters. We pretty much managed the process remotely - as we live in Portugal. From initial contact to completion, it went very smoothly. AW Power where clear, prompt, tidy, helpful and accommodating - delivering on all their commitments and our expectations. They have also helped us upload the app and connect to the installation so that we can monitor it from Portugal. My Mother - and all friends - are delighted with the work that AW Power have done, and we can thoroughly recommend them.

The whole experience with AWPower from start to finish was an absolute pleasure. Everybody was extremely competent, knowledgeable and friendly from my very first call to AWPower right through the installation up to completion. Installation was quick, neat and seamless. This includes the accounts department. After installation service is the best I have ever encountered with even after-hours communication no problem. The system is working flawlessly, I can without doubt recommend AWPower 100%.
