Solar · Security · Off-Grid

Power and security, built around your site.

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.

Introducing Solvex

Solar, security and off-grid solutions, designed around your requirements.

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.

Our Solutions

Solutions for power, security, or both.

Solar security systems and off-grid solar solutions for South African sites, with more to come as our range grows.

Solar Security

Solar-powered surveillance and security systems for locations where conventional power is unavailable or impractical.

Solar Solutions

Standalone and off-grid solar power systems designed around your specific power requirements.

Remote Surveillance

Camera, connectivity and monitoring solutions that give you visibility over remote or hard-to-reach locations.

Security Solutions

Security technology and equipment to improve the protection of properties, sites, equipment and assets.

Custom Solutions

Purpose-built combinations of solar, batteries, security, connectivity and monitoring technology for specific site requirements.

Solar-Powered Security

Security that doesn't depend on the grid.

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.

Well suited to

  • Solar security cameras for farms
  • Solar security cameras for construction sites
  • Remote properties
  • Equipment yards
  • Temporary sites
  • Areas where running mains electricity is difficult

Security infrastructure that operates independently of conventional power can also add a second layer of protection alongside an existing mains supply.

Built Around Your Site

Every site is different. The solution should be too.

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.

What shapes the design

  • Location and access
  • Available sunlight
  • Power requirements
  • Camera and security requirements
  • Connectivity
  • Battery capacity
  • Environmental conditions
Applications

Where Solvex solutions are used.

Agriculture & Farms

Keep watch over gates, sheds, boundaries and equipment across large properties where mains power doesn't reach.

Construction Sites

Independent power and security for sites where permanent services aren't in place yet, or where plant and materials need protecting.

Commercial Properties

Additional or independent security infrastructure that doesn't rely on the building's electrical supply.

Industrial Sites

Coverage and power for yards, perimeters and outlying areas that are hard or costly to cable.

Remote Locations

Power and visibility for properties and sites far from conventional infrastructure.

Temporary Sites

Security and power for short-term projects, without waiting on a mains connection.

Why Solvex

A practical approach to power and security.

01

Practical system design

Straightforward, hands-on work focused on what will actually function on your site.

02

Tailored to the application

Your site and requirements shape the solution, not the other way around.

03

Solar and off-grid capable

Systems designed to run independently of conventional power infrastructure.

04

Power and security together

We combine both technologies, so you deal with one company for the complete solution.

Custom Solutions

One site, one solution, built from the right parts.

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.

About Solvex

A South African business focused on practical solar and security solutions.

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.

Get in Touch

Tell us about your site.

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:

  • Where the system will be used
  • What you need to secure or power
  • Whether mains electricity is available
  • What you want the system to achieve
