Not many travellers are aware that it is conveniently possible to drive with a current-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) on the road network connecting Cape Town, Johannesburg, East London, Durban, Gaborone and Maputo.

Cape of Good Hope SPCA, the founding society of the SPCA movement in South Africa and the oldest animal welfare organisation in the country, has chosen AWPower to implement a grid-tied solar solution, with additional modular battery backup systems to support essential loads.

AWPower engineers have achieved outstanding success with designing solar PV systems for commercial buildings, including medium size shopping centres such as in this video story.

Solar PV & power backup solutions (UPS’s) available today are certainly bringing some light to this dark tunnel of the pandemic, struggling economy and load shedding. The energy sector is producing solutions that are better and costing less, providing great savings and security.

AWPower engineers recently completed the conversion of its offices to sustainable living, including integrated facilities for charging battery powered electric vehicles (EVs). The objective was to design and install a solar PV system that would provide most of the energy requirements of the building by providing backup power during load-shedding, reducing costs and ensuring sufficient power to charge EVs during office hours.

Don’t let load-shedding be a handicap to your home office. The 600W 12v DIY load shedding Power Box from AWPower will keep your essentials like Wi-Fi and PC/Laptop afloat during load shedding

If you are looking for a long-term modular approach towards energy security, plus savings, for a house, office or holiday cottage, then starting with a battery backup system that is fully expandable to solar PV may be the smart way to go.

The business case for grid-tied, rooftop mounted solar PV has become a no-brainer. AWPower have partnered with Nedbank to develop a finance option that in most cases result in a positive cash-flow from day-1 of installation.

AWPower successfully hosted an energy seminar on 21 May 2019 at the Nedbank Auditorium at V&A Waterfront, attended by about 80 delegates. Following the seminar, we received a mail from Dr Anthony Keen, a well-known off-grid energy pioneer, who attended the seminar. His summary of the event, which covers highlights from each of the speakers, is not only a very accurate recap of the major talking points from the day, but also provides some further insight into the matters discussed.
