Why Solar Power?

Why Solar Power?

Solartech Overberg

Homeowners in Southern Africa face power shortages and fast-rising energy costs. At the same time, Southern Africa is ideally placed to harness some of the highest levels of direct normal irradiance in the world! This is an ideal environment for home solar power solutions because every Rand you spend on solar solutions is more productive than in most other parts of the world. By installing a Sol square Solar System you can reduce your energy costs drastically and therefore save money.

By doing so we put you in the driver seat of the electricity cost truck!

How do we generate reliable, affordable and carbon-neutral, i.e. green electricity? This is one of the fundamental questions Africans will have to solve in our century.

As African home solar power pioneers, Solartech’s response has always been to focus on the sun. The African sun endows us with more energy than we could ever imagine using - energy that is clean and free, and cannot be exhausted at all!

We are excited that Africa is starting to embrace this and currently commences the migration from fossil fuels towards harmless and carbon-neutral renewable energy.

Solartech - South Africa’s home solar power experts​

We are committed to ensuring that solar power becomes the basis of our children’s power supply. To achieve this, we offer solar solutions for our discerning customers that take into account the varying energy needs found in Africa from pure cost-reduction to energy independence and home solar systems.​

In Africa, solar power is already profitable and at the same time, makes a dedicated contribution towards the mitigation of climate change. You can produce your own electricity and no longer be stressed by Eskom’s electricity price hikes.​

Going green is your responsibility! Getting you there is ours!
