Frequently asked questions
How long does the installation process take?
For most agricultural projects, installation takes 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the system size and site complexity. Before that, we complete a detailed assessment, design, and approval process to ensure the system meets your farm’s specific operational needs. We work around your production schedule to minimise disruption.
What maintenance is required for the solar system?
Solar systems are low-maintenance, but agricultural environments can introduce extra dust and debris. To keep the system running at peak efficiency, we recommend routine panel cleaning and annual performance checks.
Are there any government incentives for installing solar panels?
Yes. South African farmers may qualify for Section 12B tax allowances, allowing you to deduct the full cost of qualifying solar equipment in the first year. This significantly improves ROI. We can guide you through what’s available and help you prepare the documentation needed for SARS compliance.
