Based in Fourways, Use the Sun offers tailored solar power solutions that can meet your particular application, and turn your home into a renewable energy-driven powerhouse, with all the economic benefits that come along with not being reliant on Eskom for power.

With a solar energy system set up by Use the Sun, you can completely reduce or eliminate your monthly power bill and reduce the impact of load shedding on your home.

As the country’s power supplier increasingly struggles to meet the demands of residences and businesses, load shedding has become the norm a decade-and-a-half after it was first instated to reduce pressure on the country’s power grid.

Solar power has become a viable and affordable alternative for consumers that want to untether from the national grid and harness the powerful energy provided by our nearest star, the sun.

KEEPING YOU IN THE DARK?

The time to invest in solar is now. A safe, environmentally friendly and reliable replacement for costly and unreliable fossil fuel power, solar energy also doesn’t have any emissions. As the world moves towards renewable energy alternatives in a bid to curb climate change and its effects, investing in solar has particular value for South Africans, who are hamstrung by regular and unannounced loadshedding, leaving them without power for hours on end.

Because most of South Africa averages more than 2 500 hours of sunshine per year, with average solar radiation levels ranging between 4.5 kWh and 6.5 kWh per square metre in one day, the country is ideally suited to solar. As technology has developed, solar equipment has become more affordable, and Use the Sun’s turnkey solutions can be tailored to fit your pocket and your needs, whatever they might be.

benefits of solar power

During a consultation, Use the Sun will go through all the available options, ranging from frameless solar panels to battery back-ups, among many others. Each residential solar power system is custom-designed, using only the highest quality products and guaranteeing clients the highest power output. By correctly installing and matching your equipment, Use the Sun saves you money and ensures you have power, even when the rest of the neighbourhood goes dark.

You can opt for a system that runs your whole house off the grid, or choose a basic solar option that only runs essential appliances and lights. Each system installed by Use the Sun is completely tailored and personalised according to the client’s requirements.

A typical residential solar set-up features a DC system with battery back-up, which can work on the grid or off the grid. With a system like this, critical loads are supplied when planned or unplanned power interruptions occur, whilst the whole house benefits from solar production when the power grid is working, with the grid topping up the balance that solar cannot meet. Use the Sun will recommend a system that works for you.
