What We Offer | Solar Technology

By generating electricity from solar power, businesses can significantly reduce their electricity bills. Solar energy can provide long-term cost stability, protecting businesses from fluctuating utility rates.

Commercial solar helps reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, promoting clean and sustainable energy. It contributes to corporate social responsibility and can enhance a company's environmental reputation.

Businesses that install rooftop solar panels qualify for accelerated depreciation of 125% of the initial costs in the year the business started using the solar system.

For example, a company that invests R150 000 in a solar system can deduct the following:

• Subject to a valid VAT invoice being issued by the supplier, VAT of 15% is reclaimable on the total installation charge.
• An income tax saving of 27% for companies.
• The income tax savings will be R40 500 if the R150 000 is VAT exclusive.

Commercial solar systems can be customized to meet the specific energy needs of a business.

Net metering allows excess solar energy generated during the day to be exported to the grid, earning credits that can be used when the solar panels produce less electricity, such as during nighttime or cloudy periods.

Solar panels have a long lifespan (typically 25 years or more) and require minimal maintenance.

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This electricity can be used to power various appliances and electrical systems in the home, including lighting, heating, cooling, and electronics.

Many residential solar systems are connected to the electric grid through a process called net metering. Excess electricity generated by the solar panels can be sent back to the grid, and homeowners receive credits or compensation for the surplus energy they contribute.

Residential solar systems can significantly reduce or eliminate electricity bills, depending on the size of the system and the household's energy consumption.

Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source. By installing solar panels, homeowners can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the fight against climate change.

Individuals that install rooftop solar panels qualify for a 25% rebate on the cost of new or unused solar panels – up to a maximum rebate of R15 000. You will need to invest in solar panels worth R60 000 if you wish to take advantage of the full tax incentive.

For example, if your household has between five and ten solar panels at a cost of between R12 500 and R25 000, you can claim a rebate of between R3 125 and R6 250.

Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Routine cleaning to remove dust or debris and occasional inspections to ensure optimal performance are usually sufficient.

Some homeowners choose to incorporate energy storage systems, such as batteries, alongside their residential solar installations. These batteries store excess electricity generated during the day for use during periods of low solar generation or power outages.
