FAQs
Why should I choose a cutting-edge solar installation in Wartburg instead of a conventional system?
Our cutting-edge systems use high-efficiency mono-crystalline panels, smart inverters and real-time monitoring software. In Wartburg’s sunny climate, this means up to 22 % more energy harvest, faster fault detection and lower lifetime costs than conventional poly-crystalline setups.
How long does the average residential solar installation take from sign-up to switch-on?
From the day your contract is signed, the timeline is typically 4–6 weeks: 1) Site assessment & engineering (7–10 days), 2) Permit approvals from Umgungundlovu District (10–14 days), 3) Installation (1–3 days), 4) Electrical inspection and utility interconnection with Eskom or Umngeni municipal grid (7 days).
Is my Wartburg roof suitable for solar panels?
Most roofs facing north, east or west with at least 20 m² of unshaded area qualify. We conduct a free drone survey to check pitch, orientation, structural integrity and shading from the surrounding sugar-cane fields or trees. Flat roofs can also be fitted using ballasted mounting frames.
How will a solar-plus-battery system protect me from load-shedding?
Our hybrid inverters seamlessly switch to battery power in under 20 milliseconds when Eskom cuts supply. A 5 kW/10 kWh lithium-ion battery stack can keep essential circuits—lights, fridge, Wi-Fi and security—running for 6–8 hours per stage of load-shedding.
What maintenance do these advanced systems require?
Solar PV has no moving parts, so upkeep is minimal: 1) Panel cleaning every 6 months to remove dust and pollen, 2) Annual electrical inspection and tightening of DC connectors, 3) Firmware updates via our remote monitoring portal. We offer a 5-year maintenance plan that covers all of the above.
What financing or incentives are available for Wartburg residents?
We partner with local banks to offer 60-month green loans at prime minus 1 %. Businesses can claim a 125 % Section 12B accelerated depreciation in year one, and homeowners can apply for the South African Residential Solar Tax Rebate (25 % of panel cost, capped at R15 000).
