Solar prices: common questions
How much does a solar system cost in South Africa in 2026?
Our installed systems currently range from a battery backup kit to a 20kW three-phase system. Every price on this page is live and includes installation and the electrical CoC.
Do you sell solar panels on their own?
No. We price complete installed systems, so every package already includes its panels, inverter and battery. The panel count is listed with each package.
Why do two packages of the same size have different prices?
The inverter brand. Batteries and panels are usually the same within a size, while the inverter brands differ in price, monitoring app and support.
Can I finance a solar system?
Yes, through your home loan. Many banks let you add solar to your bond, which spreads the cost over the bond term. Ask us about it when you request your quote.
Want an exact price for your home?
Tell us your suburb and roughly what you spend on electricity, and we will recommend the right size.
