Solvex designs and supplies practical solar, security and off-grid solutions for sites where mains electricity is unavailable, unreliable or impractical. We look at what you need to power or protect, then build the system around it.
An installed solar-powered security unit: panel, battery enclosure and camera on one mount.
Solvex is a South African company that designs and supplies practical solar, security and off-grid solutions. We don't simply sell a standard product. The site, the power requirements, the security requirements and the intended application decide what the right solution looks like.
Whether you need to power a remote site, secure it, or do both, we start with what you actually need it to achieve.
Solar security systems and off-grid solar solutions for South African sites, with more to come as our range grows.
Solar-powered surveillance and security systems for locations where conventional power is unavailable or impractical.
Standalone and off-grid solar power systems designed around your specific power requirements.
Camera, connectivity and monitoring solutions that give you visibility over remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Security technology and equipment to improve the protection of properties, sites, equipment and assets.
Purpose-built combinations of solar, batteries, security, connectivity and monitoring technology for specific site requirements.
A solar security system combines solar panels, battery storage, cameras and connectivity into one independent installation. The panels charge the batteries during the day and the batteries power the system, so it can operate without a mains connection or a generator.
That makes solar-powered security cameras and off-grid surveillance practical where running electricity would be difficult, costly or simply not possible. How a system performs depends on the site, available sunlight, battery capacity and system design, which is why we size each one for its application.
Security infrastructure that operates independently of conventional power can also add a second layer of protection alongside an existing mains supply.
We look at the actual application before recommending anything. A system that suits one site can be the wrong choice for another, so we start with the conditions and requirements in front of us.
Keep watch over gates, sheds, boundaries and equipment across large properties where mains power doesn't reach.
Independent power and security for sites where permanent services aren't in place yet, or where plant and materials need protecting.
Additional or independent security infrastructure that doesn't rely on the building's electrical supply.
Coverage and power for yards, perimeters and outlying areas that are hard or costly to cable.
Power and visibility for properties and sites far from conventional infrastructure.
Security and power for short-term projects, without waiting on a mains connection.
Straightforward, hands-on work focused on what will actually function on your site.
Your site and requirements shape the solution, not the other way around.
Systems designed to run independently of conventional power infrastructure.
We combine both technologies, so you deal with one company for the complete solution.
We aren't tied to a single product, so we can combine different technologies to suit a particular site. As we add new products and technologies, they become part of what we can build for you.
If your requirement doesn't fit a standard package, tell us what you need and we'll work out how to get there.
Solvex is technically minded and solutions-focused. We're interested in solving real problems, particularly getting power and security to places where conventional infrastructure doesn't reach.
We work from the requirements of the site and the customer, and we'd rather ask the right questions up front than supply something that doesn't fit. Solar-powered surveillance is one of the solutions we currently specialise in, and it sits within a broader range of solar, security and off-grid work.
The more we know about what you're trying to achieve, the better we can point you to the right solution. When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
