BACK UP BUDDIES NOW AVAILABLE

Due to our country’s electricity crisis we have to take steps to protect our homes and businesses from disruption when the power goes out. Plumstead & Okavango Electrical and lighting now stock the Backup Buddy systems. The options range from the single battery unit with DC output only, to 3kW AC distribution board connected output.

All Backup Buddies can be charged either by AC power, or as an add-on, by solar panel input. By charging your system with solar, you will start to recover the cost of the purchase and ultimately be generating completely free energy.
