Home solar
A lower bill, from your own roof.
Solar panels and a hybrid inverter that run your house on sunshine first and the grid second. Sized to what your house actually uses in daylight.
What’s in a system
Four parts. We price each one separately so you can see where the money goes.
- 01Solar panels
- Tier 1 monocrystalline panels on the sunniest roof faces. North is best in South Africa, but east and west faces still earn their place on most homes.
- 02A hybrid inverter
- The box that turns the panels’ power into what your plugs use. A hybrid runs the house from solar first, then a battery if you have one, then the grid.
- 03Mounting and protection
- Rails and brackets made for your roof type (tile, IBR or flat concrete), plus the isolators, surge protection and DB board work the regulations ask for.
- 04The app
- See what your roof is producing, what the house is using and what came from the grid, from your phone.
The part most quotes get wrong
Bigger isn’t better. Right is better.
Solar pays you back when your house uses the power it makes. Panels that produce more than the house can use in daylight either go to waste or get sold back to the grid for a fraction of what you pay for power.
So the scan sizes your system to the share of your use it can cover sensibly, and it tells you when your roof is the limit. If a quote you’ve had is much bigger than ours, ask why.
Good questions
Will solar work on a cloudy day?
Yes, just less. Panels produce on overcast days, and the scan’s year of sunshine already includes the cloudy ones.
Do I need a battery?
Not to save money on your bill. Solar without a battery runs your house in daylight. A battery is for backup and for using more of your solar at night. The estimate shows both prices.
Can I add more panels later?
Usually, if the inverter has spare capacity. Tell us if you’re planning a pool pump, an EV or a granny flat and we’ll size the inverter for it now.
What about my geyser?
A geyser is one of the biggest loads in a house. Running it in the middle of the day on a timer is often the single best way to use your own solar.
