Solar installation questions, answered
Is solar worth it in Cape Town?
For most homes and businesses, yes. Cape Town gets strong sun for most of the year and electricity tariffs go up every year, so a correctly sized system usually pays for itself well within its working life. Your quote shows the expected payback before you commit.
What size solar system do I need?
We work it out from your last 12 months of electricity bills and when during the day you use power. Then we size the panels and inverter to match, adding batteries only if you need them, so you don't pay for capacity you won't use.
Do you handle SSEG registration with the City of Cape Town?
Yes. Grid-tied systems in Cape Town must be registered with the City as Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG). We prepare and submit the application as part of every installation.
Will solar keep my power on during load-shedding?
Only if the system has batteries. A hybrid system with battery storage keeps your essential circuits running during outages. A grid-tied system without batteries shuts down when the grid goes off, for safety.
Which areas do you serve?
We're based in Cape Town and install across the city, including the Northern and Southern Suburbs, as well as Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Paarl and Melkbosstrand. We regularly work out in the Overberg too. We also take on projects elsewhere in South Africa, like our 50 kW school system in Johannesburg.
How long does a solar installation take?
Most home installations take 1 to 3 days on site once the design is approved. Commercial and farm projects take longer, depending on size and site access.
What equipment do you install?
Tier-1 solar panels, hybrid inverters from SMA, Victron and GoodWe, and lithium batteries from brands such as LG, GoodWe and Tesla. We pick equipment for reliability, not the lowest price.
Do you install battery storage and UPS systems?
Yes. We install battery energy storage (BESS) for homes, businesses and farms, and UPS systems for offices, server rooms and data centres.
Do you install generators?
Yes. We supply, install and service standby and prime-power diesel generators, sized to your load and fitted with an automatic transfer switch.
What happens after installation?
You get app monitoring so you can see what your system produces, and we handle maintenance and support long after switch-on. If something looks off, call us and we'll sort it out.
The equipment we install
