If your business installed solar during load-shedding, that system is now an asset sitting on your roof — but is it working as hard as the capital you sank into it?
Most aren’t. Across the C&I market, rooftop solar averages only ~60% utilisation: soiling, faulty strings, tripped inverters and drifting settings quietly eat the yield, for want of proper monitoring and maintenance. Meanwhile Eskom tariffs have roughly doubled in five years.
Grid Africa’s offer is simple:
- We buy your installed solar and battery system at fair value — releasing capital back to your core business.
- We take over monitoring, maintenance and optimisation — and lift the plant back to full performance.
- We supply your power back under a long-term agreement priced below Eskom — savings of up to 35%.
And we can add battery storage to make every kilowatt work harder. The battery stores cheap power and deploys it when the grid is most expensive — shaving demand peaks, shifting load out of costly hours, and capturing the price gaps between cheap and pricey periods. In short, it actively manages when you draw from Eskom, smoothing spikes and lowering the bill against any tariff.
You offload the asset, the risk and the admin. You keep cheaper, more reliable power.
We’re actively acquiring from malls ,retail centres, schools and universities, hospitals and clinics, factories, warehouses and office parks. Lets connect at info@gridafrica.com
