 Why you should have a generator.

The generators is a machine that by now every South African is not only familiar with but has perhaps even considered buying. Generators in South Africa became a hugely popular product as a result of the ongoing issues experienced by Eskom but few realise that generators are used by almost every power grid in the world in order to create electricity.

A generator is used to supply electricity to the power grid and these types of generators will normally be huge in order for them to be capable of generating enough electricity to meet the needs of a large population of people. The world is largely moving away from the use of generators and non-renewable energy as the first choice when it comes to a primary electricity source. Instead people are using generators as a backup for when the power cuts. Power Planet provides clients with a wide range of petrol generators and diesel generators from a variety of trusted brand names.

 

Few businesses in South Africa can survive without a generator when load shedding strikes. Load shedding is costing the South African economy billions as businesses have to stop their operations for a number of hours each day simply because they cannot function without electricity. This is causing devastating effects especially on the small businesses and the niche industries that cannot cope with the loss of productivity and the loss of customers during those times when there is load shedding.

The best solutions for these businesses is to invest in a petrol generator or a diesel generator which are conveniently also available as silent generators and portable generators. These machines will serve as your backup electricity supply for when the power goes out and they will keep you going for those few hours when you have no access to electricity. Closing shop for even a few hours each week can mean major down time and delays in projects and manufacturing.  We also specialise in SABS approved solar geysers - click here to view our solar geyser stock.
