Retail energy solutions
Cheaper electricity. Reliable backup. Power your retail business with both.
In a fiercely competitive retail market, energy costs matter. Cheaper electricity can give your business a financial edge, while reliable backup power keeps shops, restaurants and shopping centres running smoothly when the grid goes down.
SolarAfrica provides renewable energy solutions built for retail businesses – from solar for malls to flexible Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that deliver reliable electricity without large upfront investment. Whether you manage a single store, a restaurant group or a multi-site retail chain, our energy solutions help lower energy costs and keep your business running without disruption.
The retail industry can rely on solar, battery and Wheeling to solve these challenges.
Solution benefits
Lower electricity costs
With solar energy and battery storage, retailers can access cheaper power and reduce reliance on costly grid electricity.
Keep stores running during outages
Reliable battery backup provides stable power during grid interruptions, keeping lighting, refrigeration and payment systems running.
Make use of unused roof space
Shopping centres and retail stores can turn roof space into solar generation, delivering electricity tariffs up to 50% cheaper than Eskom through PPAs and Wheeling.
Smarter, greener retail spaces
Solar carports and renewable energy systems reduce carbon emissions while adding practical infrastructure, such as shaded parking for customers.
