Solution benefits
No upfront investment
We offer fully installed systems with Power Purchase Agreements.
Pay less for electricity
Solar tariffs are up to 50% cheaper than Eskom with transparent escalations.
Pay only for what you use
With a PPA, you pay only for solar power when your business uses it.
More green power
Give your operations a sustainability boost by harnessing clean solar.
Our commercial solar energy solutions make it easy for your business to take control of your energy use, save money on electricity bills and achieve your sustainability goals.
Our Energy Experts can tailor a solution that offers the financial and environmental benefits your business needs to thrive.
01. How do I know if solar energy is right for my business?
If you’re looking to save on your monthly electricity bills, then solar is the affordable power solution for you. It’s also one of the best ways to boost your business along its green energy journey if you need to meet sustainability targets.
02. Does solar energy take me off-grid?
If your business needs power during grid outages or loadshedding, you need to have a commercial solar system connected to a battery energy storage system (BESS). Without BESS, the solar energy system is known as grid-tied, meaning it can supply power only when the grid is on.
03. Isn’t it expensive to install commercial solar energy systems?
Buying a solar energy system cash can be a costly endeavour with a heavy initial capital outlay. The ongoing maintenance costs also add to this expense. With a Power Purchase Agreement, you can get a top-tier commercial solar energy system without any upfront investment or ongoing maintenance costs.
04. How much can I save on my electricity bill with solar energy?
This depends on how much electricity your business uses during the day. Solar energy can replace most of your expensive daytime utility power. With a Power Purchase Agreement, you pay only for the solar energy you consume, giving you even more savings.
Our portfolio of clean energy projects stretches across the country, bringing the power of renewable energy to hundreds of businesses.
Our tried and trusted process ensures that each commercial solar solution is the perfect fit for our customers.
