SMME businesses no longer need to suffer during grid outages with the affordable APC SMART-UPS

Businesses today have become extremely reliant on a continuous supply of electricity, due to most of their vital systems being run electronically. Unfortunately they are now really starting to feel the effect of the continuous grid outages, which are leaving their employees unable to complete their daily tasks. This has lead them to look for alternative solutions, which haven’t always been viable for small to medium sized businesses.

In the past SMME businesses have shied away from installing a renewable energy solution due to either budget constraints or not being able to justify the permanency of the system because of rented premises. This has unfortunately left them reliant on a very unstable energy grid – not a good solution for any business. With the increase of load-shedding Renu has been flooded with enquiries for an affordable backup system so were determined to find an appropriate and affordable solution. As an existing approved partner for Schneider Electric South Africa (worldwide experts in energy) Renu approached them for a solution that would cater to South Africans’ needs.

The APC Smart-UPS On-Line is great for companies that are still growing and don’t want their initial outlay to be more than they can afford. Its versatile capabilities allow
