Renewable Solar for Commercial Systems
Renewable solar for commercial systems just makes financial sense. Prices of panels, inverters and batteries have come down and now it’s simply a no brainer. The solar energy savings for businesses are massive and the benefits kick in from day one.
The commercial solar energy solutions ensure only tier one inverters, batteries and panels are used. All come with a minimum 10 year warranty. Our highly experienced teams will install a fully compliant industrial solar systems. We include all the safeguards needed to ensure your system lasts and performs at it’s peak for years to come. We use inverters with AI capability in order to ensure batteries are discharging at the best times. This takes load shedding schedules into account and ensures that peak times and bills are avoided.
So what equipment do we stock? There have been many products imported into the South African market with a huge surge when the load shedding kicked in around 2020. Many of these products are not registered with the City Councils and are not legally allowed to be installed. They also come with very limited warranties and almost no back up support. We started out selling mainly Sunsynk and Deye inverters with Shoto, BSL, Freedom One and Volta batteries. These had good warranties and good support. Then Fox ESS and Sigenergy hit the market by storm. The inverters could handle bigger energy spikes as well as more panel power. The batteries were so much safer and more efficient that we decided that we would stock these components exclusively. The manufacturer back ups are better than anything we have ever experience in the past. A good solar panel is the engine of a solar system that powers your business. We stock: Ja Solar, Trina, Canadian Solar, Aiko, Trina and Jinko solar panels. They all come with very good warranties and are the most efficient at capturing the sunlight and turning the rays in electricity for your business.
Some businesses are opting for solar panel installation with inverters and no batteries. This means really low costs and high savings. PPA rates can be as low as R1.23 per kWh. Lithium Ion batteries can then be added at a later date.
There is one more very big reason to opt for renewable solar energy for commercial solar systems. SARS is rolling out their Carbon Tax plan and it is going to be another painful expense on business users and possibly the final nail in the coffin for many.
Here is a link to SARS’s timelines: sars.gov.za/customs-and-excise/enviromental-levy-products/carbon-tax/. By installing solar you not only avoid yet another crippling tax you also get to cash in on carbon credits that the system offsets you can get more info on how this works on our website by clicking here: sundialsolar.co.za/carbon-credits.co.za
Sundial Solar offers maintenance packages as well as on going operations services to tweak the system settings in order to maximize your savings and ensure your energy security.
Financing options for businesses

These rates can be up to 60% less than standard tariffs and even much less than peak charges. Because we own and operate the system you can be guaranteed that the system will do what we promise and that it will be meticulously maintained. It’s a zero risk, zero investment option and saves you money from day one. By discharging batteries at peak times your company can avoid crippling penalties and peak rates. There is no worry about banks loans and interest rates hikes and we insure the system at our cost.
