South Africa has reached a clear solar inflection point. For a growing number of households and businesses, generating power yourself is already materially cheaper than buying from the grid, and that gap keeps widening with each tariff increase.
The blunt truth is that solar is no longer an ‘alternative’; it is increasingly the cheapest electricity source available, because after installation you generate kWh at a far lower effective cost than grid supply. Critically, this can hold true even when systems are financed. In many cases, monthly savings are large enough to cover the loan repayment and still improve cash flow.
• Cost savings and ROI: In many cases, your solar savings offset the loan repayment and more.
• Energy independence: You generate your own clean power and protect yourself from future tariff shocks.
• Increased property value: A properly designed PV system can improve resale appeal and value.
• Supplier due diligence: Bank-approved partner = stronger controls, legal clarity, track-record, due diligence and uncompromising installation standards.
• Faster payback: Start benefiting from day 1, while you repay over time - and you still own the asset.
The point is simple: stop paying for unreliable electricity - and start paying yourself
How it works (fast, structured, bank-backed)
1. Contact One Energy for a needs analysis and quote (site assessment and proposal tailored to your loads and consumption patterns).
2. Apply for finance through MFC, a division of Nedbank (terms typically 12–96 months, subject to approval).
3. Once approved, installation is scheduled and completed to the required compliance and quality standards.
4. You switch on: always-on power, drastically lower bills, and far less exposure to outages and tariff hikes.
The next step is a site assessment and a finance-ready proposal from One Energy.
