Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about cost, sizing, timelines and support. If your question isn't here, send it to us directly.
How much does a solar system cost?
Cost depends on your energy consumption, property requirements, equipment choice and system design. We provide a clear quote after assessing your specific needs rather than quoting a generic package price.
How do I know what size solar system I need?
We start with an assessment of your consumption and usage patterns, then size the system to match — rather than guessing or defaulting to the largest option available.
Can solar help during power outages?
Yes, when paired with battery storage configured for your essential loads. We explain what a system can and can't cover during an outage before you commit.
Can you install solar for a business?
Yes. We have installed systems for a restaurant and other SMEs, assessed the same way as residential projects: around actual operating needs.
Do you work on existing solar systems?
In many cases, yes. Get in touch with details of your current system and we'll assess whether we can help with repairs, upgrades or maintenance.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the complexity of the project. Our fastest residential installation was completed in three weeks; larger commercial projects can take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline as part of your quote.
Can you help reduce my electricity costs?
Often, yes. An energy assessment can identify where consumption is wasted and whether solar, storage or efficiency upgrades offer the best return for your situation.
Do you provide maintenance after installation?
Yes. We offer inspection, fault-finding and ongoing technical support after your system is installed and commissioned.
What should I have ready before requesting a quote?
A rough idea of your monthly electricity bill or usage, what you're trying to achieve (cost savings, backup, or both), and your property type and location. We'll fill in the rest during the assessment.
Are there any Johannesburg-specific considerations for solar installations?
Roof type, orientation and local load-shedding stage all affect system design. Working from Rosettenville, we're familiar with typical Johannesburg property types and factor grid reliability into how we size battery backup.
