Why we are showing you this
Prepaid24 has handled prepaid electricity for South African households for eighteen years. We see what people spend, when they spend it, and how often the lights go out. So when a homeowner asks whether solar is worth it, we are not guessing.
For most homes spending more than R2,500 a month on electricity, a properly sized solar and battery system covers itself through the monthly rental. The lights stay on during load shedding. The bill stops climbing every winter. And there is nothing to buy upfront.
The wizard further down the page is the fastest way to find out if your specific home qualifies. It checks your roof, your suburb, and your spend, and shows you the system that fits. You are not committing to anything by using it.

Order, save your quote for later, or ask for a callback. There is no pressure to purchase.
A few things worth knowing
You stay on the grid.
Solar covers the day. The battery covers most of the evening. On a stretch of cloudy weather, your prepaid electricity is still there in the background. You buy less of it, but you keep the connection.
You rent the system, you do not buy it.
A fixed monthly amount, month to month. If a panel cracks, the installer replaces it at no cost to you. No deposits, no balloon payments, no twenty-year tie-in, NO MAINTENANCE, no unforeseen additional charges, because inverters or batteries failed.
If you rent your home, the wizard still helps.
The owner of the property has to be involved before installation, but it costs nothing to check what would fit, and to share that with your landlord.
