The Energy Crisis

South African businesses are paying too much for electricity

Municipal tariffs have increased by over 400% in the last 15 years. Eskom's approved tariff path guarantees above-inflation increases for years to come. Load shedding costs the economy billions annually.

For commercial property owners and operators, electricity is now the fastest-growing line item on the income statement. Diesel generators are expensive, noisy and environmentally damaging.

Solar + battery storage is the proven, bankable alternative. Lock in your energy cost today and save for 25 years.

How funded solar works

SolarXgen partners with equity funders to deliver powerful, grid-tied solar solutions with full battery backup — at no cost to you. You simply pay a discounted energy rate and save from day one.

Immediate savings from day one

Your locked-in PPA rate starts below your current tariff. Savings begin the moment the system is commissioned.

25-year energy security

Long-term energy lease with full O&M included. We maintain the system for its entire lifetime. Your rate escalates at 5-7% vs 10-15% municipal increases.

Keep your capital for core business

Solar becomes an operating expense, not a capital expense. No impact on your balance sheet. Preserve cash for growth.

S12B tax benefit (capex option)

If you prefer to purchase: deduct 100% of the system cost in year one under Section 12B. Typical 3-4 year payback.
