Solar is only expensive when the installation is done according to the safety regulations, which have been put in place for the consumer’s protection. A solar installation has to be registered via an SSEG application and signed off by a professional engineer. These are all extra costs that add to the full system price when […]

This is a common misconception among clients who install a solar system. Solar panels produce electricity during the day. If it is not used, it can be stored in your battery for use at a later stage. Although your house will use considerably less electricity, you will still need the grid for those cloudy and […]

A Tier 1 solar panel is like a top-quality, high-performance solar panel. It’s made by a reputable and reliable manufacturer known for producing efficient and durable panels. Think of it as buying the “Toyota” of solar panels – you can trust it to generate a lot of electricity and last a long time.

Solar panels generate electricity that is used by all your essential circuits during load shedding. Most people don’t realise that when there is no load shedding, the energy generated by the panels flows to all of your circuits, including the non-essential ones. Therefore, if your geyser is set to heat during the day, that electricity […]

A 5kW inverter will power your general appliances, such as plugs and lights, in a small residential home. Your fridge/freezer, Wi-Fi, TV, and computer will all be working as per usual during load shedding. The key is to avoid using more than one heating appliance at a time during load shedding.

Yes, you can monitor solar production remotely using remote monitoring systems. As part of our after-services support, we ensure that your system always performs at its best by tracking energy production, system performance, and any potential issues from a remote location.

Section 12B of the Income Tax Act allows businesses to deduct 125% of the total value of the solar and backup solution. For more information, read the following document from SARS: SARS legal draft

BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage System. It’s a system that stores electrical energy in batteries for later use. A BESS is the perfect solution to save on your monthly electricity bill whilst protecting your business against loadshedding.

Yes, it is possible to integrate an existing generator with a solar power system. This setup, known as a hybrid system, can provide backup power when the solar panels are not generating electricity.

A grid-tied solar system switches off when there is loadshedding and only functions with a grid connection. For your solar system to work during loadshedding, we can integrate it with a battery or a generator.

A grid-tied solar system is a solar power system that is connected to the electrical grid. It generates electricity from sunlight and feeds electricity directly to your loads. If the grid-tiered system is not integrated with a generator or backup battery, it will switch off during loadshedding.
