Across many South African townships, the impact of ongoing grid instability has become a daily challenge. For religious institutions that serve as both places of worship and vital community hubs, unreliable power can disrupt services, gatherings and educational activities. To address this, one religious organisation launched a multi-site solar power project, aiming to secure dependable backup energy for several of its chapels.
To deliver this vision, they partnered with EBS Solar and Electrical, a trusted Gauteng-based renewable energy provider and Sunsynk Approved Installer with more than four years of experience specialising in Sunsynk hybrid inverter systems. EBS Solar and Electrical designed and installed custom solar solutions across multiple chapel sites situated throughout township communities in South Africa. Each site needed a system powerful enough to support essential loads through prolonged outages while maximising solar generation wherever possible.
About the Install
At the heart of every installation were Sunsynk hybrid inverters, selected for their reliability, intelligent controls and quick commissioning, an important advantage in a project spanning several locations. Larger chapels required robust capacity, achieved through the installation of dual 12kW Sunsynk three-phase inverters in parallel, providing stable and efficient 24kW output. Smaller chapels received tailored designs using either 10kW Sunsynk single-phase inverters or 8kW Sunsynk Lynks inverters, ensuring that each site benefitted from a correctly sized, high-performance solution. This customised approach allowed the systems to operate efficiently while maintaining Sunsynk’s engineering consistency across all locations.
Sites in Dobsonville and Pimville integrated Sunsynk X Batteries, chosen for their seamless compatibility with Sunsynk inverters and excellent efficiency. With storage capacities ranging from 10kWh to 30kWh, these systems now keep chapels fully functional through extended periods of load shedding, safeguarding everything from lighting and sound systems to the study spaces used by students.
A key advantage noted by EBS Solar and Electrical was the ability to centrally monitor and manage all installations through Sunsynk Connect, Sunsynk’s remote monitoring and control app. The system allows both the installer and the client to troubleshoot, optimise and track performance across multiple sites, significantly reducing downtime and simplifying long-term system maintenance. Combined with strong warranty support and after-sales service, the Sunsynk ecosystem provided the ideal foundation for a project requiring consistency, reliability and scale.
