From a candle to an entire powered house.

Six systems, every size — each PayGo financed and yours after the term.

What do you need to power?

The PayGo model

Flexible monthly payments. Ownership at the end of your term.

Choose a PayGo plan that suits your home and pay monthly at participating Pay@ retailers, selected spaza stores, or with card. Each successful payment keeps your system active for the next month. If you miss a payment, service is paused until the account is brought up to date. Once the agreed term is complete, the system belongs to you.

Honest answers.

If yours isn't here, an agent will answer it in person.

Is there a credit check?

No. We don't run a credit check, we don't look at your bank account, and we don't need a payslip. We only need your South African ID.

What happens if I can't pay one month?

Your system simply pauses until your next payment - it never cancels. You don't lose what you've already paid, and there's no penalty interest.

What does "own it" actually mean?

After you complete the monthly payments for your selected plan term, we hand over full legal ownership. The panels, the battery, every light: yours. No final balloon payment.

How long will the system last?

The solar panels carry a 20-year warranty. The lithium battery is covered for 5, and typically runs 8-10 years.

What if something breaks?

Call your agent first - 80% of issues are solved on a single visit. If we need to replace a part under warranty, we do it free.

Do I need a roof?

Any solid roof works - tin, tile, thatch. If you don't have a suitable roof we can fit a ground-mount pole in your yard.
