Solar Inverters at Game

What Game typically stocks, indicative 2026 pricing, and when to choose a hybrid inverter from a specialist instead.

Game stocks budget backup inverters and small portable units rather than full hybrid solar inverters. They suit load shedding backup for a few lights and devices. For a panel-and-battery solar system you need a hybrid inverter, which Game does not typically carry. Prices below are indicative for 2026.

For Solar You Need a Hybrid Inverter

Game inverters are backup-only. To run solar panels and a battery you need a hybrid inverter such as Deye, Sunsynk or Victron. These are sold and installed by specialist suppliers, not retail stores, and need a Certificate of Compliance. Indicative installed prices: 5kW hybrid from around R18,000, 8kW from R28,000 before panels and batteries.

Solar Inverter Prices at Game FAQs

Game backup inverters run from around R899 for a small 600W unit to R3,999 for a 2000VA trolley inverter, with portable power stations up to about R7,999. These are backup inverters, not hybrid solar inverters.

Most Game inverters are battery-backup only and cannot accept solar panels. For a true solar system you need a hybrid inverter (Deye, Sunsynk, Victron) from a specialist supplier with professional installation.

Prices vary by product: Makro often has the best geyser deals, Takealot offers competitive solar lights and accessories, Builders has good overall selection. Always compare across stores - prices can differ by 20-30% for the same product.

Online often has better prices and more selection. However, for heavy items like geysers, in-store pickup saves delivery fees. For installation, local stores may offer bundled installer referrals. Check return policies before buying.
