Eskom-free living! This property runs entirely on solar power, eliminating loadshedding and high electricity costs. Solar energy powers the property, backed up by a generator that kicks in when battery levels are low. The generator recharges the batteries, and once they're sufficiently charged, it automatically switches off, reverting to solar power. A smart electronic system ensures a seamless transition.
