Frequently Asked Questions

Solar panels work by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity. They contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that produce a flow of electrons when exposed to sunlight, generating direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) for use in your home.

The size of your solar system depends on your energy consumption, location, and budget. Our professional team will assess your needs and recommend the best system size for your property.

The cost of solar system installation varies depending on system size, equipment, and installation complexity. Typically, residential systems in South Africa range from R60,000 to R300,000. Get in touch so our team can provide a custom quote for you today.

Solar power can significantly reduce your energy bills, often by 50-90%. Your actual savings will depend on your system size, location, and electricity usage patterns.

Solar systems are designed to last for 25-30 years, with some components, like inverters, requiring replacement around the 10-15 year mark.

Yes, solar systems can still generate electricity on east or west-facing roofs, albeit with slightly reduced efficiency. Our professional installers can optimise your system's design for your specific roof orientation.

Without a battery storage system or hybrid inverter, solar systems typically don't provide power during a grid outage. However, adding battery storage can allow your system to operate independently of the grid and cover you when load-shedding is occuring.

Depending on your requirements, we offer financing options for solar systems (rent to own), cash purchases, monthly fixed cost solutions and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Get in contact with our team to find out more.

Yes, most solar systems are grid-tied, meaning you remain connected to the grid and can draw electricity when solar production is insufficient. We do also offer ‘Off-Grid’ solutions to our clients.
