Alternative energy sources

With a website such as ours promoting alternative energy, energy management, generators and so on it follows that many sales people crawling the web approach us each day with their alternative electrical products. I am wondering just how much business my site actually brings in for me, however what is most apparent is the lack of technically proficient sales persons, I don,t know how many generator, inverter, and battery back up sales pitches I have listened too over the past three months. What I do know is ; BE CARE FULL. there are many emergency electrical back up products currently doing the rounds that will damage your current electronic equipment permanently. Be specific about what electrical loads you would like to supply continuously and for how long a period. Ask what type of sign wave your back up system is producing. If a TRUE SIGN WAVE is not specified chances are the equipment will be real cheap and will be producing a clipped, square or stepped sign wave which will, damage your equipment. Generators too come in different price brackets if they are the smaller portable units make sure that they have AVR equipment. Automatic Voltage Regulation as without this you will also expose your equipment to poor sign wave conditions, fluctuating frequency as well as fluctuating voltage. So cheap, as always does not exist and specifically in areas of power generation or elctricity storage and lets consider that the purchase of any such alternative power generation equipment in SA should be seen as a long term investment and not a temporary solution. Professional teams and technicians do exist so if you require a full audit on your home or office environment give us a call we will produce an audit on the connected load the critical load and advise as to what type of back up is required. We suggest energy saving initiatives with your lighting, control secondary equipment and so on. Remember though that we will promote a cleaner green sustainable solution and this is normally initially a little more expensive than some other offers you may receive.
