WiSolar embarked on initiatives to make solar power solutions more affordable. Thus, it started offering financing in June 2020. Second, it designed more durable solar power solution. For instance, WiSolar’s Green Digital Utility Solution generates about 12000 Kilowatt hours per annum and its battery can store around 9.6 Kilowatt hours. For an average-sized home, this is more than enough to power the geyser, lights, and other household appliances. Now, in a new initiative, WiSolar is offering property developers the option of a prepaid, decentralized solar electricity system for buildings under construction. By this, the company takes care of the design, permits, maintenance and installation of the solar panel system, while property developers can market solar electricity-powered houses and buildings that dodge the load shedding bullet.
The company offers local homeowners the option to purchase prepaid solar electricity at affordable rate. South Africans enjoy the financial security and convenience of the prepaid option. The price of prepaid solar electricity is much lower than what is currently being charged by the public utility, so homeowners can expect significantly lower electricity bills. WiSolar’s innovative thinking hasn’t gone unnoticed as the company was awarded the African Excellence Award for Best Solar Energy Solutions Provider in 2021 by the highly respected MEA Markets publication. WiSolar’s unique offering includes making solar energy financially accessible in South Africa. This is crucial as South Africans seek affordable, cleaner power alternatives to the public utility, and the world at large looks to find sustainable nature-friendly power solutions.
