Why Solar?

Solar energy is gaining popularity globally as a cost-effective and sustainable power source, but in South Africa, the current energy crisis, including frequent load shedding and impending electricity price hikes, has made solar power an especially relevant and hotly debated topic.

Zero operating costs

Solar power offers significant cost savings due to its low operating expenses. The only regular maintenance required for solar panels is occasional cleaning to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. Additionally, solar power systems typically last for around 20 to 25 years after installation and come with a 25-year warranty.

Pay less for electricity

According to the World Energy Outlook 202 report, solar and wind energy are currently the most cost-effective sources of new electricity generation in the majority of markets. This means that investing in solar power can lead to significant savings on your monthly electricity bill. In South Africa, for instance, you could cut your electricity bill in half with the abundant sunshine, recouping your investment in solar power in as little as five years. The exact amount of savings will vary depending on the size of your solar system and your electricity usage.

Less stress

The scarcity of dependable and affordable access to electricity can be highly stressful. Regardless of using an app to notify you when load shedding is about to occur, it can still disrupt your plans. By utilizing solar power, you become less dependent on the national grid for your electricity, resulting in reduced stress and uncertainty.

More independence

There is no greater sense of independence than using solar power. You control how much power you produce, store, and utilize with a solar power system that includes both solar panels and a home battery solution. You still possess freedom and independence, even on gloomy days or at night.

Renewable Energy

One of the few energy sources with the least detrimental effects on the environment is solar electricity, which is renewable and does not pollute the environment or release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Additionally, the sun will never run out, unlike fossil fuels.

Wider range of possibilities

Solar power technology has a rich history dating back to the 1950s, and over the years, it has undergone significant improvements in efficiency and durability. As the demand for solar power has grown, more suppliers have entered the market, offering a wider range of options for homeowners. Furthermore, there are now more financing options available, tailored specifically to meet the needs of homeowners.

Enhance your property

In South Africa's real estate market, there is a growing trend towards homes equipped with solar power, with many buyers showing a willingness to pay a premium for these properties.
