Green & You

Was I ripped off? This is a question that is heard frequently in the solar industry these days. Why? Because in the past 12 months, prices on many solar components have dropped tremendously...

It is not on our annual to do list (yet). Probably, since the solar industry is fairly new to the scene, solar system servicing & maintenance is not something that is ingrained in our way of thinking. Why should it be? We discuss this question and a few of the key checks needed in the article below. #solarsystem #maintenance #servicing #commercialsolar #solarmaintenance #greenandyou

You service your car regularly right? Avid cyclists might even service their bicycles more regularly than their cars... Somehow the servicing of solar systems get brushed off more easily. Is it even necessary to service? We'll be doing a more in-depth focus on this soon, but for now the most important take-away is this: Solar systems definitely need regular servicing. Is this something you are aware of? Do you know of people or companies that service their systems? #solarsystem #commercialsolar #service #maintenance #solar #greenandyou

Numbers speak the loudest. In the business world - payback matters. These figures are from a local restaurant - and the payback looks really good. Especially the savings AFTER the payback. #payback #solarsavings #greenandyou #investment

To SOLAR or NOT to solar? Too many choices can sometimes hold you back or delay the decision. Therefore when something comes along that can make the choice more obvious, something that kicks you into action – grab the opportunity with both hands and make that decision sooner rather than later... Enjoy reading, let us know what you think!

Since the solar tax incentive for businesses is still applicable for the current financial year, solar investments for business users are the way to go. You also get to address a few serious issues, all at the same time: reliability, productivity & employee satisfaction, running costs, and long-term savings...to name a few.

Manufacturing companies have especially high energy demands, and with steep electricity costs (and most likely price hikes), commercial solar solutions are the future for major energy users. This 300 KVA commercial solar installation was custom-designed for a client in the manufacturing industry. #commercialsolar #solar #manufacturing #greenandyou

Payback calculations, investment feasibility, power consumption, electricity cost projections... All these are complex and crucial points that need your attention when deciding what route to go with your solar system. Questions to ask yourself: - What is my main goal? Uninterrupted business operations, higher productivity, long-term cost savings or something else? - What is my main problem/why am I considering a solar solution? (This might be directly related to the above, or something completely different) - How am I planning to finance the solar system? Investors, banks, phasing etc. - What are non-negotiables/what machines, appliances, tech etc should always have power? There are many more questions to ask - but these will start to prompt your thought process and get the ball rolling. We can assist with more questions and of course the calculations etc. Installation pic: Solar system installed in Memel, Free State on a beautiful farm.

A small glimpse into what's keeping us busy these days. One of the perks of installing solar panels: great views. And we're now marketing ourselves as interior designers as well. (Who doesn't love a classic blue-and-white combination?) Bottom line - you need to enjoy what you do.

Lift-off! Progress Report Part 2 for the 300kW #projectjonkersailplanes. This solar installation will power the Jonker Sailplanes manufacturing plant - where some of the best gliders in the world are manufactured. Now the ONLY thing that will make this installation look even better...is a JS glider next to it :) #solar #commercialsolar #gliders #jonkersailplanes #commercial Jonker Sailplanes Cedar Solar
