Watts Up Solar specialises in the installation of solar and back-up systems by qualified professionals.
Our mission is to provide exceptional customer service by installing high-quality equipment, in an efficient and effective manner with flawless operation from the beginning.
The placement of our systems is planned for least visibility and most aesthetical appeal. Every client should enjoy uninterrupted reliable power and reduced electricity charges. We're here to harness clean energy to mitigate the impact of load-shedding, and the ever-increasing electricity costs on households and businesses.
Loadshedding and mounting energy costs are encouraging more South Africans to generate their own power through solar. It's a great way to save money on electricity or spare yourself the frustration and inconvenience of power outages and loadshedding.
The first step is to focus on the “essential” items such as lights, fridges, TVs, Hi-Fi, decoders, Wi-Fi routers, security, alarm systems, etc. These can be powered by relatively small systems.
Non-essential and high-consuming appliances such as geysers, stoves, ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, and electric heaters may remain dependent on the grid and only used when power is available.
Solar systems allow you to end the effects of load-shedding, save electricity, and increase the value of your property. A solar or backup system can increase the value of your home by 3% to 4%, but this figure could be as high as 8%. Homes with solar or backup power solutions are often an important requirement for prospective buyers in South Africa. Many property sellers are aware that an installed solar/back-up solution will place their property ahead of others.
Solar systems become more attractive over time as electricity prices continue to rise!
