In 2014, solar energy was the cheapest source of energy for 1% of the world’s population. In 2019 it was 2/3rds and by 2024 it will be the cheapest form of energy for the entire world and is predicted to be cheaper by a factor of 20 in 2026, compared to other energy sources, as the prices of batteries and other key components continue to fall.

Solar power works by converting energy from the sun into power. There are two forms of energy generated from the sun for our use – electricity and heat. Both are generated through the use of solar panels, which range in size from residential rooftops to ‘solar farms’ stretching over acres of rural land.

Solana Energy utilises Solar Energy Solutions to offer Solar as a Service solutions to residential and commercial clients.

Solar energy is the radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar energy received on Earth is vastly more than the world’s current and anticipated energy requirements. If suitably harnessed, solar energy has the potential to satisfy all future energy needs.

Renewable energy is energy from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. Renewable resources include sunlight, wind, the movement of water, and geothermal heat.

Corporate South Africa is dependent on sustainable energy supply to build sustainable businesses. The amount of space utilised by industrial businesses make them ideal candidates to generate more energy than what they can use. Solana Energy can assist companies with Energy Generation Projects or provide streamlined solar solutions that provide just enough power to run operations sustainably.

When you hear a corporate talk about an Energy Generation Project it means that they will generate enough power to be able to add power back into the electricity grid to take strain off the national energy provider.

By adding solar panels to your home, you can take control of rising electricity bills and keep more money in your pocket. You don’t have to stress about sourcing the best product and maintaining the solar solution, that’s our job. After Solana installs your solar system, we won’t leave you stranded with a solution that causes stress. The team at Solana Energy will be there every step of the way to maintain your solar solution to ensure your system works just as it should.

Think of using a Wi-Fi service provider. The service provider will install Fiber to your home and supply a modem to use the service. You don’t own the modem or fiber but have a right to use it for a monthly agreed price.

Solar as a service works exactly the same. Solana supplies all the hardware – panels, batteries, etc. and install it at your premise. You can enjoy the benefit of the solar solution for a monthly agreed upon price.

Solar as a service give more people access to utilise Solar as a sustainable power solution as users don’t need to have the initial upfront cost that’s usually too high for many to afford.

With Solar as a service you don’t need to have access to funds to cover the upfront installation costs. You will be paying a set monthly fee that will replace your electricity bill if you switch to solar completely.

Only brand leading Tier 1 product components are used for our installations. These components are sourced from reliable manufacturers and come complete with a 10 year performance guarantee.

Solana Energy will continue to own the solution and will maintain it throughout the contract period.

There will be rules for use in the contract to ensure the user look after the product appropriately. All routine maintenance and upkeep will be managed by Solana Energy.

Solana Energy will collect the panels and batteries should you wish to terminate the contract or discuss terms of purchase should you decide to purchase the solution and continue maintenance in your personal capacity.

We believe Solana Energy is one of the most exciting renewable energy projects in the country at the moment as its integrated nature and ability to support multiple elements of the broader ecosystem.

Uplifting communities through skills development and job creation as well as facilitating a just energy transition makes Solana a very unique business proposition.

Whilst loadshedding has dealt a critical blow to our economy, it has also prompted government to change legislation and allow for a more decentralized generation environment. This change has resulted in several sizeable generation projects being announced and recent developments within the finance sector to make investment available to support growth all point to a market poised to take off.
