The benefits of using solar power to power your home

Solar power is a very exciting new technology that is becoming more and more popular every day. It has been used for thousands of years by the native people of the Americas and Asia, but it is only recently that it has become a viable option for people all over the world.

Solar power uses the sun's rays to generate electricity. This means that you don't have to depend on any other form of energy. In fact, you can use this method of power generation to supplement your existing electricity supply or even replace it completely. If you live in an area where the sun shines most of the time, you will be able to make a large savings on your electricity bills.

How much money can you save by making the switch to solar energy


There are several different ways that you can get involved in solar power. You can purchase your own system, you can install one yourself, or you can lease or rent a system from someone else. Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages, so you should carefully consider what will work best for you before you make your final decision. We have access to some amazing financial options to assist you with your solar system purchase. Call us today to learn more. Some of our clients have landed up paying less than their monthly eskom bill, and then get to own the system once thier payment period is complete.

Tips for getting started with solar power in your home


The first thing that you need to do when deciding which way to go is to determine how much you want to spend. There are many different types of systems available, ranging from very inexpensive to very expensive. The cost of the system will vary depending on the type of system that you choose and whether or not you decide to hire a professional installer.

Once you have determined how much you want to spend, you will need to find out if there are any rebates or tax credits available to you in your area. There are some incentives in South Africa to encourage homeowners to make the switch to solar power. Check with your local government to see if they offer any incentives to help you with your decision.

Another thing that you will need to do is decide what type of system you would like to have installed in your home. There are two main types of systems available today: passive and active. Passive systems use mirrors to reflect sunlight into a collection area. Active systems use panels to convert sunlight directly into electricity.

If you decide to have your system installed, you will need to make sure that you have a good location for it, and a professional installer to ensure an effective installation. The ideal place is a sunny spot away from trees and other buildings.


Once you have decided on the type of system that will work best for you, you will need to make plans to build your system. If you are installing it yourself, you will need to have access to some basic tools and skills. If you are leasing or renting the system, you will need to make arrangements with the company to have the system installed. Once you have done all of this, you will be ready to enjoy the benefits of solar power.
