Solar advice (finance advice included as well)
Permalink   
 

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting solar but my knowledge is slim on this. I apologize if this has been discussed, i couldn't find any threads on this.

Ive looked at a few rent to own or purely rental options which honestly dont look attractive. Im also not keen on throwing money into something that wont be mine. And if i look at the T&C's on some of these companies, it's really making me steer far away.

Im not looking at going off grid but I'd really like to bring down my electricity bill to offset my monthly cost for the solar (and of course help with load shedding). I dont know how much power our household consumes in a month, i know a starting point would be to check that. Can anyone tell me how to get an accurate reading? We using roughly R1500 of electricity a month in summer and then around R1700 in winder.

I also own the property and I think the best would be to take a loan on my bond for this.

Can anyone share some advice on how I could go about this so that i can make the right choices.

Advice is difficult because we don't know what your household needs are. However looking at your monthly spend, it appears similar to mine. So I'll relay our story of what we ended up doing.

If you're looking at ways to make the most of solar, checking out Octopus Energy tariffs could be worth it. They’ve got options that work well with solar setups, especially if you can shift your energy use to cheaper time slots or even sell excess power back.
