Makro is increasing the range of backup power solutions it offers to meet the demand caused by load-shedding
Makro has announced that it will soon offer customers fully-installed solar power systems as it has noticed a significant increase in demand for backup power solutions.As part of the retailer’s 51st birthday celebration, it will also give away three fully installed solar bundles — each worth R169,000 — in collaboration with brand partners Eiger and Magneto.
“The prize includes a 5kVA Lithium-Ion battery, 8kVA Magneto Inverter, 10 x 455W mono solar panels, installation and a certificate of compliance.” He said the retailer had seen a high demand for generators, inverters, gas cooking tops and cylinders, rechargeable globes, and lanterns.“New products such as the Mobi-Volt, which is a portable device with a built-in Lithium-Ion battery and inverter, offer solutions from 0.5kW, 1.0kW, 2kW, 3kW and 5kW,” Lindhorst said.
“Customers can have these connected to their DB board with a coupler, which gives them the option to uncouple the unit for camping or use in the office. The large units can also be recharged between 5,000 and 6,000 cycles,” Lindhorst added.
