It’s no secret that electricity prices in South Africa are climbing. With Eskom approved for a 19% tariff increase in 2025 and similar hikes expected in 2026 and 2027, we’re looking at a 57% jump in electricity costs over the next three years. For households and businesses alike, this spells trouble for monthly budgets. But what if there was a way to lock in your electricity costs and shield yourself from these rising prices?
This is where solar energy—and the concept of Levelised Cost of Energy (LCE)—comes into play.
What Is Levelised Cost of Energy (LCE)?
The LCE is a fancy way of saying, “What does it really cost to generate your own electricity over time?” It includes the total cost of your solar system—equipment, installation, and maintenance—spread out over its lifetime.
For a 5kW hybrid solar system, the LCE comes to just R1.78 per kWh over 10 years (the warranty period of our high-quality products).
Now, compare that to Eskom. Their current average tariff is R2.00 per kWh, and with the expected 57% increase, it’s estimated to reach a staggering R5.23 per kWh over the same period. That’s nearly three times more expensive than solar!
Solar vs. Eskom: The Financial Reality
Here’s the bottom line:
– Eskom Average Tariff (2024–2033): R5.23 per kWh
– Solar LCE (2024–2033): R1.78 per kWh
Switching to solar means you’ll pay only a third of what you’d pay Eskom for the same electricity. Over time, this adds up to tens of thousands of rands in savings for your household or business.
Beyond Cost Savings: Energy Independence
Solar energy isn’t just about saving money. It’s also about taking control. With a hybrid system, you can:
– Rely less on the grid and avoid the impact of load shedding / power outages.
– Lock in your electricity costs, protecting yourself from future tariff hikes.
– Increase the value of your property, as solar-equipped homes are more attractive to buyers.
Don’t Let Eskom Drain Your Wallet
Eskom’s price hikes are inevitable, but paying those skyrocketing tariffs isn’t. Solar energy offers a smarter, cheaper, and more reliable solution.
