Solar Tech Solutions - NMT
New Media Technology has partnered with Solar Energy and Inverter Solution Experts who have over 10 years industry expertise and knowledge.
We offer the following solutions for your home or office.
Quick Load-shedding solutions
The initial requirement for Load-shedding solutions came from critical power shortages in South Africa. Providing inverter solutions ensured that homes, businesses, servers and schools could continue running when the grid power fails.
Solar Solutions
As power becomes more expansive organisations are opting to harness Solar Energy Power Installations from small sites requiring a single light and Pc to sites requiring dedicated solutions with arrays of Inverters offering upto 60Kwatt output.

How many batteries do I need for my inverter?
To size a battery bank we take the hours needed continuously x watts = total watts/DC volts=amps needed.
Example: 3 hours of run time needed * 1500 watts = 4500 watts total / 12 volts DC = 375 amps. You will need a total of 375 amps of stored power in the batteries. We don’t recommend fully depleting your batteries so keep this in mind when you are calculating the number of batteries needed.
Here is another example: Let’s say you purchase a 2000 watt inverter 12 Volt. If you max out the inverter at 2000 watts, you are pulling 2000 watts /12 volts = 166.6 DC amps per hour. If you use a 200 amp 12 volt battery you would divide 200 amp battery / 166.6 amps = 1.2 hours of run time. This is if you plan on fully depleting the battery, which we DON’T recommend. We recommend 50% depth of discharge. Since we recommend 50% depth of discharge, you would divide 1.2 hours /50% = .60 hours. If you use 30% depth of discharge you divide 1.2 hours/30%=.36 hours.
