The Background
Dr. Thabo Pilane, a medical specialist living with his family in a Potchefstroom estate in South Africa, struggled with frequent power outages. Manually operating their diesel generator, located in the garden—especially at night—was inconvenient and disruptive. It also caused high diesel consumption, significantly increasing their monthly electricity costs. Frustrated by these challenges, the family sought a reliable and cost-effective solution.
The Challenges
The family faced high monthly electricity costs due to expensive diesel fuel consumption. They also had to rely on a noisy, manually operated diesel generator during frequent power outages, which required them to go outside to start it.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Dr. Pilane implemented the Sungrow residential solution SH10RS with the SBR128 battery. This system seamlessly switches on and off, providing uninterrupted power and reducing monthly electricity costs, thereby improving the quality of life for his family. Sungrow’s innovative features, such as PID protection technology and built-in safeguards against surges and arc faults, ensure optimal performance and safeguard the integrity of the household’s electrical infrastructure. This blend of cutting-edge functionality and robust protection enhances the overall value proposition for discerning customers like the Pilanes. Additionally, Sungrow’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond product innovation to encompass environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility, ensuring that customers can feel good about their investment in renewable energy.
The Impacts
This solution significantly reduces electricity costs by replacing expensive diesel with efficient solar energy storage, cutting the family’s monthly electricity bill to just 15% of what they used to pay. It also offers fully automatic, silent backup power that instantly switches on during outages with no user intervention, eliminating the inconvenience of manually operating a generator.
“We exclusively recommend Sungrow to our clients for three key reasons: First, their technical support is unmatched in responsiveness and expertise. Second, their patented PID Zero technology virtually eliminates panel degradation. Finally, with built-in surge protection at both system and household levels, it delivers peace of mind that goes beyond just energy savings.”
