Solar energy comes from the sun and is converted into electricity through the use of solar systems that are portable and lightweight. These systems can be installed both indoors and outdoors, and are eco-friendly, with no carbon monoxide emissions that pollute our environment.

Since solar energy is the cleanest, most abundant natural resource available many experts think it will be by far the most used energy source in much of the world by 2030. By moving from fossil fuel-dependent energy sources to clean, safe, and renewable solar we can lower public safety risks and overall public health costs, which improves our communities and country overall.

As a citizen, you are empowered to generate your own electricity, whether as a community or individual. 84% of children have more time to study when connected to solar. 91% of customers feel safer than with kerosene lamps and there is no risk of fire hazards often seen with petrol generators. By choosing solar you are choosing the best, most efficient option available on the market today.

A physical survey will be done by our installation team, which will collect the following information: roof orientation and shading analysis, roofing details, load analysis, and solar PV system usability check. Then, prior to the start of the installation, customers will engage in a one-on-one sit-down with our installation team to answer any questions and make sure that the entire process is fully understood.

An invoice will be sent to your email along with the terms & conditions for you to read and accept by either a written or electronic signature, or alternatively a written approval via telephone or an electronic message.
