Home Solar FAQs

All you need to know about going solar and becoming electricity independent.

How does solar work?

Solar systems include three core components:

1. Solar panels capture sunlight
2. Batteries store energy
3. An inverter converts stored solar power into electricity

Solar energy is generated by sunbeams captured by solar panels. This energy is then stored in your solar system battery. When needed, your inverter converts the stored solar energy into electricity for use.

Is solar safe?

Yes. Once installed and in place, solar energy is safe to use.

Which appliances should have power during a blackout?

Besides the need for lighting, appliances typically used during blackouts include stoves, TVs, WiFi modems, PCs, and Geysers.  Appliance usage differs by season where, for example, you may need to use heaters in winter and fans in summer. 

How long does solar power last?

How long does solar power last?

Can I upgrade my solar system later?

Yes. You can upgrade your entire solar system or make specific upgrades to your equipment.

Upgrades can include adding extra solar panels to capture more sunlight, additional batteries to store more energy, or extra inverters to manage the energy consumption.

How do I pay for solar?

Two simple and easily accessible options include:

1. Activating your access bond facility if you have a bond (home loan).
2. Apply for solar product finance from any of South Africa’s leading banks.

How long does an installation take?

Installation takes between 3 to 4 days, depending on the size of the installation. Learn more about how we complete professional solar system installations.

Does installing solar increase my property's value?

Yes. Adding solar can increase your property value by 3% to 4%.

Do I get an Electrical Compliance Certificate with my installation?

Yes. You will receive a valid Electrical Compliance Certificate or CoC. This can be provided to your bank to ensure that your bond agreement stays valid. It can also be presented to your insurance company in the event of a claim.

Do solar systems come with warranties?
