Fully Hybrid
A hybrid solar system is grid-tied with battery storage. They come with a special 'smart' inverter that can transmit direct current (DC) power to and from your batteries, and channel alternating current (AC) power between the grid and your home when necessary. In the context of residential solar+storage systems, a hybrid inverter (sometimes referred to as a multi-mode inverter) is an inverter that can simultaneously manage inputs from both solar panels and a battery bank, charging batteries with either solar panels or the electricity grid (depending on which is more economical or preferred). Their capabilities may go beyond this, however – some devices also handle inputs from wind turbines, generators, and other power sources.
Off-Grid
No ESKOM
People say all the time that they want to get off the grid. Beyond just meaning getting away from it all for a while, getting off the grid has a specific technical meaning with regards to your relationship to your utility and how you get your power. So, what exactly does it mean to go off the grid?
The term “off the grid” refers to living autonomously without reliance on a utility for power. Off-grid living is often ideal for rural locations where there is a lack of reliable grid access. Off-grid homes will require alternative power options like solar energy.
One of the questions we get a lot is, well, where do the batteries go? In a modern system, most of the time there aren’t any. The way that it works: you’ve got your sun, you’ve got your house, and you’ve got your solar. Couple of pieces of equipment that make this whole thing work: you’ve got an inverter, you’ve got your meter, and you have the electrical grid. So the suns going to hit the panels and create direct current electricity. That direct current is going to run to an inverter. The inverter switches it from DC to AC (alternating current) which is what we use in our house.
When you’re producing more power than you’re able to use, that excess is going to get flushed out through the grid and it’s going to be stored there as a form of kilowatt hour bank, an electricity savings account if you will.
When you’re not producing as much as you’re using, during the night or in the middle of winter, you’re going to pull from the grid again. Our goal is to get you to a point where the energy that’s going out equals the cost of the energy that’s coming in, and thus, zeros out your energy bill.
Solar Plant Monitoring
At Ampnet Solar, we provide 12 months of free monitoring of the installed solar plant. This is to ensure that your solar solution operates as intended.
We can monitor your system and update any setting on the inverter to optimize the system for your needs.
Gas Pojects
Gas Installations
There are many ways that natural gas appliances can help you save money while adding comfort, convenience, and efficiency.
With a large supply of natural gas in the United States, prices are expected to remain low and stable compared to other energy sources. Natural gas appliances make the most of this affordable, abundant resource. They are an excellent investment, and now is the perfect time to make the switch.
Today, over three-quarters of home buyers choose natural gas to heat their newly-built homes. Whether you’re looking to convert to a natural gas furnace, install a new natural gas fireplace, or use natural gas in other ways, we’re here to help.
Natural gas appliances are clean, reliable, and easy on your budget.
Solar Lighting
Outdoor solar lighting systems use solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity is stored in batteries for use at night. Manufacturers most commonly use nickel cadmium, sealed lead acid, and lead acid batteries. Outdoor solar lighting systems work well in most areas in South Africa.

Generators
In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines, and even hand cranks.
The power factor correction is a technique of increasing the power factor of a power supply. Switching power supplies without power factor correction draws current in short, high-magnitude pulses. These pulses can be smoothed out by using active or passive techniques. This reduces the input RMS current and apparent input power, thereby increasing the power factor.
LED
LED is highly energy efficient – Less heat, more light, lower cost. Use less electricity for the same light output - 85% less electricity when compared to conventional lighting and around 18% less electricity compared to CFL. Worldwide, around 20% of electricity is consumed in lighting.
Energy Audits
An energy audit is an assessment of your home that takes a look at current energy consumption and then identifies energy efficiency measures that you can conduct to make your home more efficient.
