Fewer Government Restrictions
The South African Government has removed the threshold for private electricity provision. This is great news because it means that businesses can generate solar p[power without requiring a license.
You will still need to comply with technical and environmental standards and will definitely still need to contract a registered and accredited solar power consultant
But you can now start “selling back” excess power to Eskom (or City of Cape town as the case may be) saving you money on your electricity spend and generating an additional revenue stream.

South Africa has the perfect Climate for Optimal Solar Power generation
With an average of over 2500 hours of sunshine per year, South Africa has the ideal climate for solar power production. Your business will be producing plenty of solar power which will help pay off the upfront investment much sooner!
Solar Power Technology is constantly improving
The Solar power and renewable energy industry have made significant strides in advancing and improving its technology. These days solar PV panels are not only more efficient in producing electricity but in some cases, have decreased radically in price.
Businesses that install solar power also receive incentives under South Africa’s power plan which will further offset the cost of rooftop solar power installations.
Businesses that install solar panels will also benefit from Eskom’s pricing structure and which allows them to sell excess solar energy back to Eskom
Solar Power for your Business Helps save the Environment!
Solar energy is green energy! Investing in solar helps decrease our global dependency on fossil fuels which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

Solar Power for your Business has Good Longevity
The cost to maintain Solar PV systems is low and If properly maintained, Solar PV systems can last up to 30 years. Inverter and battery backup systems used in Hybrid Solar PV projects last between 5 and 15 years.
Banks Finance Solar Power for Commercial Buildings
The South African government has eliminated much of the red tape to installing large solar projects and even the banks have offered their support.
Most major banks in South Africa (including; FNB, Standard Bank and Nebdbank) offer finance for large solar PV projects. You could structure a deal where you don’t take any risk on the investment.
Solar power is flexible and scalable
Businesses can choose from three types of Solar PV systems: Grid-Tied, Hybrid and Off-grid. Each Solar PY system can be built according to your exact specifications and requirements.

Tax benefits for large carbon emitters
In 2019, the Carbon Tax Act was introduced into law. Solar PV will come to play an important role for large emitters as they seek to manage their carbon footprints, reduce their carbon tax burdens and appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers.
Solar installations need not be complex
Navigating the process of commercial Solar PV installations can be challenging, but with InPower’s Finance solutions it doesn’t have to be
