While clarity on the end of load shedding remains elusive, South Africans remain on the lookout for affordable and reliable power solutions for their homes. The inconveniences brought by power outages are currently worse as the country goes through a bitterly cold winter.
Apart from heating, ordinarily, people will want to keep their lights on as well as have access to entertainment through television and personal devices such as smartphones and laptops, and to have the WiFi router on.
As a result of the above urgent needs, the market is flooded with a myriad of power supply sytems and devices promising solutions to the desperate public. This too has added to the headache of the consumers as they don’t know which systems and brands to trust as money is also too tight to make costly mistake.
