Tired of sitting in the dark or high electric bills?  Wickfords Solar will provide you with a solution to your problems. We provide systems from a small back-up unit to  full mini-grid systems for large businesses and full off-grid solutions to farmers.

Electricity costs will keep on rising and power shedding is not a thing of the past. Change now to a solar solution and enjoy savings from day one.

With the rising cost of electricity and the bleak outlook of electricity supply now is the time to make a change. Wickfords solar together with our partners, Journey 2 Green, Reviron and Pegasus Systems can provide you with a tailor made solution regarding your electricity needs.

From the small back-up system to 3-phase generator or wind turbine coupled systems and 2 MW mini grid systems - we can provide it.

With South Africa being the country with the most sunshine hours per year it will be wise to invest in your PV system as soon as possible. The sooner you invest the sooner you can recuperate your investment.

The average ROI of a system is 3.5 years which will leave you with at least 10 - 15 years "free" electricity. Maintenance on our systems are very low and items carry a 10 year warranty with a 25 year life expectancy.

Statistics

Why Renewable Energy Systems?

859

Load-shedding hours 2020

According to a CSIR  report South Africa endured 859 hours of load-shedding during 2020 or about 9.8% of total 8760 hours per year

40

Trees Planted

The amount of trees planted per 1 kW rooftop system. 

924

Reduction of  CO2 gas in kg

A 1 kW rooftop system will reduce the amount of CO2 gas emissions by 924 kg per year. This is the equivalent of planting 40 trees.

Why Solar ?

As a responsible citizen it is the duty of every human being to contribute for the prevention of global warming.

There are several ways by which you can contribute and one of the best ways is to use an alternative source of energy instead of using fuels that produce more carbon dioxide.

  1. SUNSHINE HOURS- South Africa has more sunshine hours than any other continent on earth making it ideal for PV system solutions
  2. EASY AND SIMPLE - once your system is installed you will have no more load shedding, lower or no electric bills and clean energy 24/7
  3. AFFORDABILITY - solar energy is becoming increasingly more affordable due to higher demands and drop in production costs

Back Up

A back up system is basically an inverter and batteries. The system is charged by electricity (ESKOM) via the inverter and can then be used during times of power outages.

Feed In

This system is used to reduce electricity consumption by using a large PV array to supply electricity during daytime. It is still connected to the grid (ESKOM) and is only operational when it is sunny.

Grid Tied

A grid tied system is used where electricity can be fed into the grid (ESKOM) thereby reducing the clients electricity bill. It is a PV system with back-up batteries and inverter.

Off Grid

This is a complete stand alone system and is managed by the user. It has an inverter, solar array and batteries for use at night time. Can be coupled with a wind turbine and / or generator to charge batteries.
