2. Whether it is to save money, be a responsible corporate citizen or
reduce the impact of load shedding on your business, solar power is
your answer. Speak to the experts at Dako Power about a solar solution
that suits your commercial energy needs!
WE CAN HELP SAVE THE PLANET BY
CREATING A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR
BUSINESS ENERGY USAGE WHILST
ENSURING YOU HAVE A HEALTHY RETURN
ON INVESTMENT
With rising electricity prices and operating costs, it
makes sense to invest in a commercial solar system
now that will, within six years, have paid itself off.
WHY SOLAR
MAKES BUSINESS SENSE
Solar has now reached parity with fossil fuels, making it a viable
alternative source of power.
Feed excess power back into the grid and offset your electricity costs
further, once the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa)
approves feed-in tariff.
REDUCE
OPERATING COSTS
MITIGATE EFFECTS OF
CARBON TAX
Significantly reduce your business’ impact on the environment.
Offset your business’ carbon emissions by installing a solar system.
Sell your carbon credits.
3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
TAX INCENTIVES
Section 12L of the Income Tax Act details the company deduction in
respect of energy efficiency savings.
After the 28% corporate tax deduction, this translates into an effective
rate of around 27 cents per kWh saved.
The Section 12L incentive, claimable until 2020, offers a rebate of
95 cents per kWh.
A comprehensive funding model is available to commercial clients
through Dako Power.
Even without taking the proposed increase in electricity tariffs into
account, payback period is less than 7 years, without including tariff
hikes and carbon credit claims.
SAVE AS
YOU SPEND
Lease-to-own option available whereby you effectively rent the solar
system from Dako Power until it is paid off.
Reap the rewards for 30 years – a typical solar power system has a
lifespan of 30 years on all components (as long as maintenance is
done correctly).
The pay back period average is 7 years – and thereafter make 100% off
the power you produce.
EXCELLENT RETURN ON
INVESTMENT

5. Solar power is scaleable, allowing you to start off small and increase
the size of your system as your business expands and load
requirements increase.
SolarEdge offers a cost-effective module-level optimisation solution for
commercial systems that allows you to harvest more power from your PV
system, for fastest return on investment (ROI) and reduced costs.
The SolarEdge inverter is up to 30% more efficient than other inverters
on the market.
