What are the benefits of solar energy?

Solar energy reduces electricity bills, decreases reliance on fossil fuels, lowers carbon emissions and can increase property value. When paired with a backup battery solar can provide you with power during grid outages and load-shedding.

Is my home suitable for solar energy?

Solar viability depends on factors like sunlight availability, roof orientation, and shading. Our solar consultants will help you to determine your property's solar potential

What is included in the solar rental package?

Our rental packages include all the equipment required to provide you with solar and battery backup power, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and on-site support, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Can I purchase the solar power system at a later stage?

Yes, our rental agreements provide the option to purchase the solar panels at a predetermined price at the end of the period. Alternatively, you can renew your rental at a reduced price for an additional term.

What happens if I move or sell my home?

In the event that you move home we can relocate your system to your new property. In the event of a sale you can transfer the rental agreement to the new home owner, who will continue with the monthly rentals for the remainder of the contract.

How are payments structured on your packages?

We provide two payment options. For rental packages payments are monthly in advance. Alternatively, we offer an outright payment option with a once off cost.

Do I need to maintain the rented solar panels?

No, we handle all maintenance and repairs as part of your rental agreement. You can relax while we ensure your system performs optimally.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 years, and our rental agreement covers maintenance throughout this period.

Can I add more panels or batteries to my rental system?

Yes, with a Metrowatt solution, you can at any time expand your rental system by adding more panels and batteries to meet increased energy needs.

Are there any hidden costs?

There are no hidden costs associated with our solar rental packages. We provide transparent pricing on our quotations, so you always know where you stand.

What happens during bad weather or at night when there's no sunlight?

During these times, your system automatically switches to grid electricity, ensuring uninterrupted power supply. In the event of load-shedding, your battery will provide backup power.

Do I need to prepare anything prior to installation?

It's best to have a good idea of which electrical circuits you would like to have backed up during load shedding. Ensuring that you have strong Wi-Fi signal at the location that your inverter will be installed will allow us to quickly give you app access for your system.

Where is the best place to install the inverter and battery?

Inverters and batteries are typically installed undercover to protect from the elements and out of living spaces as cooling fans may be distracting. For smaller homes and apartments we offer inverters which are sleek and silent.

Is a certificate of compliance included in the installation?

We will issue a certificate of compliance on completion of your installation. Our technical team will verify your home's existing state of compliance and issue a certificate in accordance with national regulations.

How long does it take to install solar?

Installations typically take between 2 to 3 days to complete. Factors such as rain, complex roof types, system size and existing non-compliant electrical wiring can delay the installation beyond this time frame.

How do I monitor my solar system's performance?

Once installation is completed we provide you with access to a monitoring app available on your mobile phone that allows you to track your system's production and performance in real time.
