With NERSA’s recent loss in its legal battle against Eskom, South African consumers are once again left to bear the financial burden of escalating electricity costs. This ruling paves the way for yet another tariff increase, meaning households and businesses alike will pay more for power — all while continuing to face the frustrations of loadshedding, unreliable infrastructure, and an uncertain energy future.
“There has never been a better excuse to go solar than now,” says Riaan Le Roux from DH Solar and Electrical. “Every price hike is a reminder that Eskom’s grid is becoming increasingly unsustainable. The smart move is to invest in energy independence — not just as a cost-saving measure, but as a long-term investment in your home, your family, and your future.”
For many South Africans, solar power has moved beyond being a luxury or a backup plan — it’s now an essential part of living sustainably and managing household budgets responsibly. Installing a solar system offers immediate and tangible benefits:
- Protection against rising tariffs – By generating your own power, you effectively lock in your energy costs and insulate yourself from future price increases.
- Energy security – Keep your lights on and appliances running during loadshedding and power outages.
- Long-term savings – Solar systems typically pay for themselves within a few short years, after which the electricity they produce is essentially free.
- Sustainability – Reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a greener, more resilient South Africa.
“Many homeowners are realising that solar isn’t just about comfort anymore — it’s about control,” adds Le Roux. “By taking charge of your power supply, you’re also taking charge of your financial future.”
The global trend toward renewable energy continues to gain momentum, and South Africa — with its abundant sunshine — is perfectly positioned to benefit. Advances in technology, competitive pricing, and flexible financing options have made solar installations more accessible than ever.
