ExSolar Solar Solutions

Throwback to last week’s action-packed events!

Our Exsolar team hit the ground running at Enlit Africa (Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) ), where we attended the Standard Bank Business Breakfast (by invitation), we also sent representatives to the Big Bash at The Building Centre Exhibition – what a busy week.

Along the way, we connected with partners and caught up with the industry advancements – but the real focus was PowerTrim (our Proudly South African load control that maximises your solar savings).

Missed us at the events? No problem. You can still see a live PowerTrim demo system at our shop in Somerset West, or visit The Building Centre to have a look at our display.

You insure your home against theft, loss, and injuries
So why leave electricity unprotected?

South African households are already spending 85% more on electricity than just six years ago.

And on 1 July 2026, municipal customers face another 9.01% tariff increase.

While the grid keeps raising prices, a full ExSolar installation locks in your energy costs for decades.

Beat the July hike. Start saving from day one and stop paying more every year. Own your power.

Book your site visit before 1 July. Slots are filling up fast.

ExSolar Home ExSolar Solar Solutions offers a custom solution for all your solar needs. With over a decade of experience in the field, the ExSolar team will handle your solar needs from start to finish, to the highest standard. ​

365 days without load shedding – longest streak since 2016.
Sounds great, right?

But from 1 June, municipal tariffs go up again. We've seen over 1,100% price hikes since 2007 – a typical household now pays R3,388+ for the same usage that cost R1,055 in 2014.

And a generator? With petrol nearing R25/L and diesel even higher, running one is no longer feasible for most families.

Solar gives you power at ~R0.80/kWh once installed.

The grid keeps the lights on – but the bills are breaking households.

Contact us today at [email protected] or visit our website www.exsolar.co.za to make a booking – take control before 1 June.

Storm season is here, and high winds, hail, and heavy rain can damage your solar system in ways you can’t see from the ground. A small crack or loose mount today could lead to costly failures tomorrow.

That’s why ExSolar Solar Solutions is offering a Storm Check Special for May, June, and July.

For R1250 (excl. VAT) you get:
A thorough 100-point post-storm inspection of your entire solar setup (panels, mountings, roof attachments, DC/AC electrical, inverter, and LiFePO₄ battery if present)
A detailed report highlighting any issues found
Priority booking for any needed repairs
Not included: travel outside Helderberg Basin (quoted separately), materials used on site, or extra labour beyond the inspection.

If we find faults, we’ll explain the issue and provide a quote. You’re under no obligation to proceed, but if you do, there’s no call-out fee for the extra work – only basic hourly labour & travel charges apply as well as material needed.

How to book: Give us a call, send an email or send an online booking request. Note that no roof work or inspection can be done during wet weather for the safety of our staff.

We recommend booking soon after any major storm event. Protect your investment and your peace of mind – let us give your solar system a thorough storm health check.

This May the 4th, join the Rebel Alliance — against high electricity bills.

ExSolar Solar Solutions turns every sunrise into your secret weapon.
Clean energy & lower costs.

Say goodbye to the dark side of utility bills and hello to savings strong enough to rival the Force.

Go solar. Be the rebel your wallet deserves.

Happy Earth Day 2026 – Our Power, Our Planet

You don't need to wait on politicians or big headlines to make a difference. Real environmental progress happens through local action, shared responsibility, and the everyday choices we all make together.

At ExSolar Solar Solutions, that is exactly what we do:
Our building runs (mostly) on solar power – over the last 12 months, only 21% of our electricity came from the grid.
We recycle our cardboard, paper, scrap metal, and e-waste – contributing to a circular economy with Mpact Recycling and Auga Trading Pty Ltd

Today, let's use our power to protect the planet we all depend on.

Happy Easter from ExSolar Solar Solutions!

Just a friendly reminder that we will be closed for the long weekend to give our hardworking team a much-deserved break.

Enjoy the holiday with family and friends — we’ll be back, recharged and ready to help you harness the power of the sun.

We’ll see you again on Tuesday at 08h00. Please email any quaries to [email protected] .

April Fools? Unfortunately, this is no joke.

Fuel prices have skyrocketed today, and Eskom has implemented its 8.7% tariff increase for direct customers starting today.

The 2026/27 financial year is off to an expensive start.

But here's the good news: With solar, you can lock in your energy costs and protect yourself from these constant hikes. While everyone else is paying more, solar users are saving more—month after month.

Thinking of taking control of your power bill? Let's talk.

Sometimes, you really do need to think inside the box.

When we say we’re hands-on with every detail of our custom insulated backup systems, we mean it—literally. Final fit, finish, and a whole lot of focus going into this remote unit before it ships out.

Building reliability from the inside out.
