Flexible Solar Finance for South African
Upfront costs and unpredictable Eskom hikes make solar feel out of reach.
Buying panels outright demands R4M in cash, freezing growth capital.
Eskom’s tariffs climb 12–18 % yearly, turning your energy spend into a moving target.
Traditional loans leave you tied to fixed assets and exposed to maintenance surprises.
We believe every South African business deserves clean, affordable energy—regardless of balance-sheet size. Your finance should fuel growth, not stall it!
Zensolar’s Solar finance Program lets you:
We know you want to cut your energy bills without emptying your bank account or crowding your balance sheet.
For over ten years, Zensolar has arranged hundreds of millions in solar finance—through Power Purchase Agreements, rent-to-own plans, leases, and wheeling deals—for dozens of South African businesses, helping them save from day one and choose if they buy or keep solar off their books
And we can do the same for you.

Are We a Good Fit?
If you can say yes to the following statements, then we can help you!
- You’d rather list solar as OpEx than lock up capital.
- Predictable costs and clear ownership both matter.
- Compliance (NERSA, SANS, permits) should stay with your provider.
However, you’re probably not ready yet if…
- You prefer a big upfront payment and instant asset ownership.
- You want to handle all permits and maintenance yourself.
- You don’t mind Eskom’s variable hikes.

Rent-to-own allows you to pay a fixed monthly fee to use a solar system, with ownership transferring to you after a set period. Unlike leases or PPAs, you eventually own the system outright.
You enter an agreement with a provider, make monthly payments over a fixed term (usually 5–10 years), and at the end, ownership of the solar panels transfers to you.
Upfront costs are typically low or zero. Monthly payments depend on system size, contract length, and provider, but are designed to be affordable and competitive with current electricity bills.
Most rent-to-own contracts last between 5 and 10 years, after which you own the system and can enjoy free solar electricity.
You may be able to upgrade or expand the system, but this usually requires amending your contract and may affect monthly payments.
For many, rent-to-own solar offers a path to ownership with manageable payments, protection from rising utility rates, and long-term savings, making it a popular choice.
Providers typically cover maintenance and repairs during the rental period. Once you own the system, you are responsible for upkeep.
Some agreements allow transfer to the new homeowner, subject to approval. Otherwise, you may need to settle the remaining balance before selling.
Providers usually require a credit check and proof of income, but requirements are often more flexible than for traditional loans.
A provider will assess your electricity usage, roof space, and budget to recommend a system that matches your energy needs and financial goals.
