The national power grid has been hitting the headlines recently, when South Africa was plunged into the Dark Ages for almost two weeks. While we’ve seen a reprieve from load shedding for the time being, news from the top is that we’re not out of the woods yet. 

Government and Eskom heads alike have painted a bleak picture of what we might expect in the future. The problem of load shedding is going to be around for a long time.

This is bad news for families trying to live their lives, and businesses trying to stay afloat. So are there solutions to this ongoing problem? We believe that there are.

Business Insider approached us to find out how much it would cost for a South African family to go off the grid, and we were happy to oblige. Here’s their article. As you can see, we have some of the most affordable solutions in the market.

Note that, besides the full solar solution that frees you completely from the unstable grid, we can also provide a basic back-up system for only R49,500. You don’t have to be in the dark any more!

Bottom line: solar power doesn’t cost you as much as you think. For the cost of your monthly utility bill, you could be off the grid tomorrow and paid off within 5 years, instead of paying for the rest of your life! Use our Solar Savings Calculator and see how our costs work in your favour.
