Botswana is currently facing a load-shedding crisis, causing power outages that disrupt homes and businesses. Many people assume that going solar requires a complete off-grid system, which can be expensive due to high installation costs. However, a more affordable and practical solution exists: a solar backup system that ensures continued power supply during blackouts without requiring a full solar panel setup.

What is a Solar Backup System?

A solar backup system is designed to provide power when the grid fails. Unlike an off-grid system, which relies entirely on solar panels and batteries, a backup system integrates with your existing electricity supply, storing energy in batteries for use when needed. This reduces costs while ensuring reliable electricity during power cuts.

Why Choose a 5kW – 8kW Backup System?

A 5kW – 8kW solar backup system is an ideal solution for homes and businesses needing 6-10 hours of uninterrupted power during blackouts. Here’s why:
✅ Cost-Effective – Lower installation costs compared to full off-grid systems.
✅ Reliable Power – Keeps essential appliances running (lights, fridges, TVs, computers, and WiFi).
✅ Scalable – Can be expanded with more batteries or solar panels in the future.
✅ Seamless Transition – Automatic switch from grid to backup power.

What Does a 5kW – 8kW Solar Backup System Include?

A well-designed backup system consists of:

• Hybrid or Inverter System (5kW – 8kW) – Converts stored battery power into usable electricity.
• Battery Storage (5kWh – 15kWh) – Stores power for later use.
• Solar Panels (Optional) – Can be added to charge batteries during the day, reducing reliance on grid electricity.

How Long Will a Backup System Last During a Blackout?

The runtime depends on battery size and load demand:

• 5kW system (with 10kWh battery): Powers a small home or office for 6-8 hours (lights, fridge, TV, router, and a few plug points).
• 8kW system (with 15kWh battery): Supports larger homes and businesses for 8-10 hours, including computers, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances.
