Soly enables me to manage my land practice activities in a meaningful and cost-effective way through risk-free financing, professional installation, and maintenance with purpose.

We received excellent service from Soly South Africa with installations of our solar system. Without the arrangement we would not have been able to afford solar systems. Our electricity costs have also been reduced by 90% since installation. More...

We are extremely delighted with the installation provided by SOLY South Africa and feel a profound sense of relief knowing that we now have a reliable and efficient alternative source of electricity to power our Guesthouse in the heart of the Winelands.

I 100% endorse Soly as the installer you should use for installing any of your electricity supply backup and/or solar needs! The process was seamless, fast and professional- from the initial consultation, digital property survey, proposal, engagement with the head of installation, day of installation and post-installation consultation. And 'what you see is what you' get... and reasonably & comparably priced for excellent equipment & service- they didn't suggest something bigger and/or more expensive when it wasn't needed, proposed equipment that was 'best of breed', but still priced competitively or even better, and made recommendations where it was needed. It took this 'formula 1 pit crew' under 4 hours to complete the installation of 8 solar panels, 2 batteries and 8kVA inverter! And they didn't leave until I understood everything about my installation, how it was optimised, what's still to be done (i.e. the certification of the installation, which they do) and how the app (which tells me EVERYTHING!) works. I even had drone footage of my roof, and this was loaded onto the app! And my garage was 'neat & tidy' before driving off. I was also left with EVERYONE'S contact details... and told that I can contact them anytime if anything is unclear or needed. Their years of experience shows, and it is clear that this company is a leader in their market! THANK YOU Bas, Georges and JP & his installation team! THIS is what excellent service looks like! 10 stars! More...

This is a proper solar company. From the initial online consultation to determine the needs and placing of the panels to the on site visit by Georges to the installation, everything was handled very professionally and efficiently. The entire installation was completed in 1 day with Georges and his team working like a very well oiled machine. The installation is very neat and the site was left very tidy. Georges stayed right up until commissioning around 6.30 in the evening and ran through all the settings and parameters with me to make sure I understood the app and settings for maximum solar generation and minimum reliance on the grid. Thank you to everyone at Soly and especially Georges. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Soly. More...

What inspired you to start your own business?
In 2013, brothers Patrick and Milan van der Meulen founded Soly with one mission: to make solar energy accessible to everyone. Captivated by the immense potential of solar energy, the founders saw it as an affordable, decentralised, and clean energy source.
At that time, the efficiency and feasibility of solar panels were uncertain, and high investment costs deterred companies and homeowners alike. Soly addressed this challenge by becoming the first solar provider in the Netherlands to offer a solar lease solution. Today, Soly plays a crucial role in South Africa’s renewable energy transition.
Why should our clients choose you?
At Soly, we are proud to share that we have been serving more than 35,000 satisfied customers. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is the driving force behind our success.
We install our products within 2-4 weeks, thanks to our certified installers, who are active throughout the country. We have been a leader in the solar energy market since 2013.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We provide virtual consultations with a solar expert, to provide you with a tailored proposal of what would be best for your property. This helps us showcase exactly how your solar solution could look and helps us to understand your specific needs. An added bonus? We help the environment by minimising our consultants carbon emissions from travel. If you do require a site visit, that can be organised upon appointment.
Residential Solar Packages
Every home's energy requirements are as unique as the individuals who live within them. We understand that, and that's why we've curated three exceptional solar packages to cater to your unique needs.
Each package has Tier 1 components, which comprise of solar panels for your home, an inverter and battery backup system to ensure that energy is available even when the sun isn't shining.
Affordable Monthly Solar Packages
With our rent to own package, solar energy is more accessible than ever in South Africa. We’ve included three of our most popular price plans for solar system rental, for you to get a good idea of what we can offer.
This comprehensive solar package features high-quality solar panels, a hybrid inverter, and a battery, designed to maximise energy storage and cost savings for optimal efficiency and reliability—all at an affordable monthly cost, where you rent to own your personal solar energy system.
Residential Grid-tied Packages
The grid-tied package is an affordable way to get started with solar, offering a cost-effective entry point for those looking to reduce their electricity bills. This package includes solar panels and a hybrid inverter at an affordable monthly rate.
Our primary goal is to provide a solar solution that meets your current energy needs while remaining adaptable for the future. With the flexibility to expand your system as your energy demands grow, this package is fully customisable, allowing you to easily upgrade and scale as needed.
Commercial Solar Solutions
The instability of grid energy can disrupt your business operations and hinder your growth. On top of that, reliance on non-renewable energy is a major contributor to carbon emissions, harming the environment.
Solar power is a secure alternative that offers financial and environmental benefits. Choose to invest in commercial solar systems for long-term savings and energy self-sufficiency.
You can also opt for a solar panel lease to enjoy immediate benefits with minimal upfront costs. Both options not only reduce energy expenses but also boost your company's sustainability efforts.
Solar Batteries
Solar batteries ensure optimal flexibility for your home or business. Our battery can be connected to practically any type of inverter. In addition, the battery function is modular, so you can scale up with an expansion of your solar system.
At Soly, we offer a range of cutting-edge battery backup systems, and our team of experts is dedicated to helping you make informed decisions tailored to your home lifestyle.
