Covers & cages
Inverter and battery screens for solar installations
Load shedding put an inverter and a stack of batteries on a lot of South African walls. They are rarely in a cupboard and almost never pretty.

The work
See it properly
Click any frame to open it full size. Arrow keys move between them.
Why it is built this way
Inverters and batteries throw heat and they have to lose it. These are ventilated screens that tidy the installation without cooking it, with the cable entry planned rather than improvised.
We draw around your actual kit — inverter, batteries, isolators, trunking — so the screen covers the installation as a whole instead of leaving conduit poking out the side.
- 01
Heat gets out
Open area set for the heat your inverter and batteries actually make. Sealed boxes shorten battery life.
- 02
Covers the whole install
Inverter, batteries, isolators and trunking under one screen, so it reads as one thing.
- 03
Access kept
Isolators and displays stay reachable. Your electrician will not have to fight it.

How this one gets made
Four steps, one workshop
- Step 01
Measure
Send the opening. Rough is fine — a photo with a tape in it beats a perfect drawing.
- Step 02
Draw
We draw your actual panel at full scale and you approve the CAD before anything is cut.
- Step 03
Cut
CNC laser cut, then powder coated or sprayed, on our own machines in Prospecton.
- Step 04
Fit
Flat-packed with fixings and a drill template, or fitted by our team or an approved installer.

Will covering my inverter overheat it?
It can, if you box it in. We design a ventilated screen with open area sized for the heat load and keep clearance around the vents. If your inverter manual specifies clearances, send them and we will design to them.
Can I still see the display?
Yes, if you tell us where it is. We can leave a cut-out or a removable panel over the display and isolators.
Does it go over the batteries too?
It can, and usually should. A screen that covers the inverter but leaves the battery stack exposed looks half finished.
Often specified together
Aircon covers
A condenser needs air more than it needs hiding. We size the open area for the unit first, then make it look like it belongs on the wall.
View →Gas cages
Gas bottles have to be outside, upright, ventilated and secure. That is a safety requirement, not a styling one — so the only question left is whether it has to look like a cage.
View →Geyser enclosures
External geysers and heat pumps are the least attractive thing on most walls, and they are only getting more common. An enclosure fixes the look without trapping heat.

Rough dimensions are fine — we confirm every measurement on the CAD before cutting. No obligation, and no pushy follow-up.
