Why go solar
Three ways solar pays you back
Electricity tariffs only climb. A solar system turns your roof into an asset that reduces your bill and keeps your power on.
Lower your electricity bill
Solar cuts your daytime draw from the grid, and battery backup lets you avoid peak-tariff usage.
Power through load-shedding
Stage 2 or Stage 6, your essentials keep running on stored solar energy. No schedule to plan around.
Add value to your property
A registered solar and backup system is a genuine selling point that adds appeal and resale value.

Frequently asked questions
Who actually installs the solar system?
Alumo does. SolarGuide is an independent referral partner: we help you compare options and get a free quote, then Alumo (one of South Africa's leading solar installers) handles the design, installation, warranties and after-care.
Will my system keep running during load-shedding?
Yes. Every Alumo home package includes battery backup, so your essentials (lights, Wi-Fi, fridge) keep running when the grid drops. Larger packages (like Gold) store more energy for longer backup.
Do I have to buy the system upfront?
No. Alumo offers rent-to-own over 3 or 7 years, a month-to-month subscription from R1,299/month, or outright purchase. On finance, many households pay a monthly amount close to what they already spend on electricity.
Is there any guarantee it will actually save me money?
For business systems, Alumo offers a money-back savings guarantee: if the system doesn't achieve the promised savings in the first 3 months, Alumo refunds the rental and deposit and pays the difference (systems up to 1MW). Terms are set and fulfilled by Alumo.
What does it cost to get a quote?
Nothing. Getting a quote through SolarGuide is completely free and there's no obligation to proceed.
