Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about going solar in South Africa.

How much can I save with solar in South Africa?
Most homeowners save 50-80% on their electricity bills with a properly sized solar system. Commercial properties can save even more due to higher daytime usage.
How long does solar installation take?
A typical residential installation takes 1-3 days. Commercial installations may take 1-2 weeks depending on the system size. The full process from quote to switch-on is usually 2-6 weeks.
Will solar work during load shedding?
Yes, if your system includes battery storage. A hybrid solar system with batteries will keep your essential circuits running during load shedding stages.
What size solar system do I need?
System size depends on your electricity usage, roof space, and budget. Use our free System Size Calculator to get a recommendation, or request quotes from installers who will do a proper assessment.
Is there a solar tax incentive in South Africa?
Yes, South Africa offers a Section 12B tax incentive allowing businesses to deduct the cost of solar installations. Individual taxpayers can also claim a deduction under the rooftop solar incentive.
How do I choose the right solar installer?
Look for verified installers with good reviews, proper certifications, and experience with your property type. Compare at least 3 quotes and check warranties before deciding.
