We design, finance and install solar for South African homes and businesses.

We guide you through every step, so you can plan around rising electricity bills instead of dreading them.

We believe every South African deserves freedom from rising electricity bills - and solar makes it possible.

We know it's hard when your electricity bill keeps climbing every year, whether you're running a business or a household. Eskom's electricity tariffs, as approved by NERSA, have risen by an average of about 11% a year over the last ten years, roughly two and a half times inflation. This year (FY2026/27) NERSA approved 8.76% for customers supplied directly by Eskom (from 1 April 2026) and 9.01% for municipal customers (from 1 July 2026), and neither businesses nor families can plan around that kind of uncertainty.

We help homes and businesses cut their power bills by up to 92%. We've been doing solar for years and know how to make it work for each client. We don't just put up panels, we help you through everything so you save the most money possible.

You'll stop worrying about your electricity bills going up every year. Solar helps you save money every month and gives you power you can count on, for your business or your home. You can plan around Eskom's price increases instead of dreading them.

Ready to see how much you can save? Book a call today and we'll show you exactly how solar can cut your bills and give you freedom from rising energy costs.

Why I started ZenSolar

I've run a service business for over 20 years, mostly on business projects. I've always taken pride in two things: doing the work properly, and building relationships with clients that last. The jobs I enjoy most are the complex ones, where a lot of moving parts have to come together to solve a real problem.

A few years ago, power became that problem for me. I had to solve it for my own business first, and I learned what a good system takes. I also saw how often people were sold the opposite: rushed designs, cut corners, and systems that didn't last.

So I started ZenSolar to do it the way it should be done. Every system is designed around how you actually use power, installed properly, and looked after for years, not just until the invoice is paid.
