How rooftop solar panels work

Everyone can enjoy the benefits and savings that solar provides - you just need the right solar system for your specific needs.

1
Large solar panels are put onto your roof at home or at your business. These panels take the sun’s rays and convert them into direct-current (DC) electricity.
2
The solar panels connect up with an inverter that converts the direct current (DC) into usable alternating current (AC), which can then be used to power your home or business.
3
When you add batteries for energy storage, you will be able to have power even when the grid is down. Alternatively, you can feed your stored electricity back into the grid to sell to your utility by a process called Net Metering.
4
The solar system’s inverter connects to your electrical network at your home or business, and integrates with your utility’s grid. You get the best of both worlds - electricity from your solar system when the sun is shining and from the grid when you need it, which means you always have electricity.

If you have a home-loan, you can finance your solar system with an access bond.

The benefits of solar PV systems are clear but buying the necessary high-quality equipment can be an expensive exercise. For many people, the initial investment is often too daunting.
‍
The good news is that there are affordable financing options available that have made going solar easier than ever before. For instance, if you have a home-loan, you should be able to finance your solar with an access bond.

As South Africa’s leading experts in home loans, we would be glad to assist you identifying the best possible solar finance option available to you.
