The municipality decides your rate every year. Until you decide otherwise.
R200,000 or more upfront, with the maintenance, insurance and obsolescence risk that always sits with you.
A fixed month rental, regardless. You pay the same on the days you use it as the days you don’t. Savings are never guaranteed.
R3.20 a kWh only for the electricity that you use, and none of the risk. Zero wasted power and guaranteed saving from day one.
Electricity supply has changed. Shouldn't the way you buy it change too?
Keeping the lights on shouldn't mean worrying about rising prices, unpredictable increases, or facing the high upfront cost of buying a solar system. Yet that's the reality most homeowners face today.
Electricity prices keep increasing
They keep climbing, and at a rate faster than household incomes, squeezing your household budget more and more each year.
You never know next year's increase
Tariff increases from Eskom and your municipality change from year to year, making it difficult to budget with confidence.
Getting solar right is complicated
Knowing what size system, which equipment and which installer to choose is daunting. And ensuring the system is properly installed, compliant and up to code with the latest regulations is a real risk.
Buying a solar system is expensive
Owning solar takes a big upfront investment and the ongoing cost of keeping it delivering the savings you expected is one most homeowners overlook and never budget for.
Owning it means owning the responsibility
Maintenance, repairs, warranty claims, insurance and long term performance through ongoing optimisation all become your problem.
Every year you wait, the bill takes a bigger, less predictable bite
Illustrative, based on historic electricity tariff increases over the past 10 years (14.2% CAGR). Municipal tariffs rise at rates that change every year while ooba Power's increase is a predictable 7% each 1 July.
Do nothing, and the bill keeps winning. Unpredictable increases from Eskom and your municipality compound year after year.
Standing still is the most expensive choice. The longer you wait, the more you pay with no idea what next year will bring.
Own the savings, not the system
We get it! Most homeowners feel solar is out of reach: it costs too much to buy outright, and choosing the right size, equipment and installer is complicated when you'll only ever do it once. ooba Power does it all for you: we install, own, insure and maintain the system so that you don't have to. You simply buy the electricity you use, for less.
ooba Power designs, installs and manages the system.
We design, install, and maintain a professionally engineered solar system at your home. All at no upfront cost to you. ooba Power retains ownership of the system, which means we insure it and carry all the risk.
You pay a reduced electricity rate
Buy only the power you use at a lower rate than what you would get it from the municipality, with a predictable, 7% annual increase. Any power you don't use is fed back to the grid, helping us keep your rate as low as possible.
You get affordable, hassle free electricity. Savings from day one
Enjoy lower, predictable bills and reliable power, with no maintenance, repairs, warranty claims or performance worries.
It takes the right combination to deliver real savings
A system is only as good as its engineering, the equipment it's built from, and how it's supported over its lifetime. Get any one of these wrong and the savings (and your capital) quickly disappear. That's the risk we remove.
Engineering

Equipment

Ongoing management & support

Get the engineering, equipment or support wrong and the savings vanish. ooba Power ensures all three are done properly so that you don't have to worry about the risk. Own the savings, not the system.
