Cheric Energy (Pty) Ltd

Servicing the South African and Central African market from Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal

Cheric Energy concentrates on off-grid and standby energy solutions. Our focus encompasses the solar energy market and the less familiar Hydro Carbon (fossil fuel) fuel generator technology.

The solar industry has made significant improvements in efficiency over the years and as a result, Cheric Energy recommends that the use of solar energy be incorporated into the current power supply as a backup system in times of power outages or to go completely off-grid. In our estimation, a professionally installed and commissioned installation can reduce costs from day 1 and recover installation costs over a period of 2-3 years. With an estimated lifespan of 15-25 years, this could represent a significant economic benefit to your business and home. 

Cheric Energy constantly keeps abreast of new age techno developments, and are actively exploring the mostly untapped hydrogen field. Zero emissions are high on our agenda. Cheric Energy endeavours to source locally manufactured products wherever possible, and if not, only trusted name branded parts, that have a known and proven backup service.

We are primarily servicing the solar energy and biogas market, concentrating on off-grid and standby power

Understandably, there are those who view this form of standby energy as "Pie in the Sky" dreams. We do also cater for this market, in the form of Hydro Carbon fuel (biomass) generator technology.

Although the solar industry has made some major improvements in efficiency, there are some instances where it still falls short, as in heavy duty engineering tool power supply. Here a generator of some power is recommended, but solar is slowly gaining ground here, too.

South Africa has at present got a flailing supply utility, and the country is regularly exposed to power cuts called blackouts as the utility struggles to keep its head above water. Regular assurances of stable are made only to be contradicted shortly after. This is killing the economy, costing businesses billions of rand and demoralising the population. The fact is that this is unlikely to change in the next few years. The utility is expanding its grid faster than it can generate power to feed it, and even as its new power facilities come on stream, there is ever greater demand.

We have the answer -GO OFF-GRID and TAKE BACK YOUR LIFESTYLE AND PROFITS. Use solar, water, biogas, wood gas, and wind and generated power. Its never been so vital to survival. Although it is expensive initially, the cost of a good installation is recovered in savings within 2 to 3 years, and as parts in most installations last between 15 and 29 years, this represents a very significant economic benefit.

Research and sourcing

We are constantly following up on new-age techno developments, and are exploring the mostly untapped hydrogen field, and this is very promising. Zero emission. Just good old-fashioned water – from whence it came to which it reverts.

Cheric Energy strives to use locally made units wherever it is possible (currently 95%) and where not, we source trusted name brand parts that have known and proven backup service. We strive to be all South African-made suppliers and have no doubt that this can come to be in time.
