Technical FAQs 3

How much does a generator cost compared to a solar system?

A generator costs R104,904, which is more than a solar system. Over a period of 9.58 years, the generator system will cost R193,794, which is higher than the equivalent cost of the solar system over the same period.

Should you buy a diesel generator or a solar generator?

But if one can sit and think about the future expenses that would be in store, the individual would, without doubt, prefer solar generators. Diesel generators would need a constant supply of fuel – this would cause the investment to pay back itself, owing to the ever-increasing price of fuel.

Is solar PV cost-effective?

Cost analysis was conducted for short-term (5 years), mid-term (15 years), and long-term (25 years). It was found that solar PV was 84.4%, 89.9%, and 87.7% more cost-effective for a 5-year, 15-year and 25-year period respectively.
