Net metering in South Africa is a billing system that allows homeowners and businesses with solar PV installations to sell excess electricity back to the grid. Here’s how it works:

1. Electricity Generation: Solar panels generate electricity during the day.
2. Usage and Excess: You use some of this electricity to power your home or business. Any excess electricity is fed back into the grid.
3. Credits: The excess electricity is tracked by a bi-directional meter, and you receive credits for the electricity you contribute to the grid.
4. Offsetting Bills: These credits can be used to offset your electricity bill when you use more power than you generate, such as at night.

Net metering provides several benefits, including cost savings on electricity bills, a reduced carbon footprint, and a return on investment for solar energy users

Answer: The cost of solar panel installations varies depending on system size and requirements. For a 3kW system, prices typically range from R45,000 to R75,000, a 5kW system ranges from R70,000 to R120,000, and a 10kW system can range from R140,000 to R250,000. These prices depend on factors like roof type, location, and system complexity. Contact us for a free, tailored quote.

Answer: Yes! South Africa enjoys plenty of sunshine, making solar energy a reliable and sustainable energy source. With the right system and components, solar can provide power year-round, even during the cloudy season. Let us help you ensure a steady power supply—contact us for a consultation.

Answer: No, you don’t have to be connected to the grid. You can opt for an off-grid solar system, especially in remote areas. We provide both grid-tied and off-grid solar solutions. Reach out to us to discuss which option is best for you.

Answer: Solar panels are designed to last for 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance. Their efficiency will gradually decrease over time, but they will continue to generate power for decades. Ready to invest in a long-lasting energy solution? Contact us to get started.
