What we do
Stand-Alone (Off-Grid) Solar Systems
Complete independence, sized to what you actually use — not a generic package off a price list. Built for farms and remote sites with no grid connection.
Grid-Tied Solar Systems
The fastest way to cut what you owe Eskom. Lowest-cost way into solar, and the quickest to pay back against rising tariffs.
Questions we hear a lot
How much does a solar system cost?
It depends on your usage, roof space and whether you want battery backup. We size every system around your actual consumption and give you a clear, itemised quote — no guesswork, no hidden costs.
How long does an installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a day or two. Larger commercial and industrial systems take longer, depending on scope — we'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Will solar keep the lights on during power outages?
Yes — that's the main reason most of our customers go solar. Add a battery and your essential circuits stay powered straight through a power outage, with no manual switching needed.
How does solar protect my business from downtime during power outages?
Every power outage costs you sales, spoiled stock or idle staff. A solar and battery system keeps your tills, servers, security and essential equipment running automatically, so trading continues no matter what the grid is doing.
Can solar keep irrigation pumps and cold storage running on my farm?
Yes. We design farm systems around your biggest loads — borehole and irrigation pumps, cold rooms, packhouses and dairy equipment — so a power outage doesn't cost you a harvest, a herd's feeding cycle, or spoiled produce. We size the battery to your actual runtime needs, not guesswork.
How long does it take to pay off a solar system?
Most homes and businesses see payback in roughly 4 to 7 years, depending on your usage and how often you'd otherwise be running on backup power. From there, it's essentially free electricity — and protection from rising tariffs and power outages — for the rest of the system's 20+ year lifespan.
