Summer is the season for solar 

The December holiday season is finally here. That magical time of year we look forward to all year. It’s when we get to slow down, soak up the South African sun, enjoy long lazy evenings under the sparkle of Christmas lights, and spend quality time with the people who matter most. 

But as we all know, even the brightest festive season can be dimmed by one thing, or rather, two: escalating electricity tariffs and unexpected power outages. 

At Sectional Title Solutions, we understand how frustrating it can be to face sky-high electricity costs or sit in the dark during the very period when family and friends are visiting. Increased usage during the holidays only makes the impact worse. That’s why cutting energy costs and improving energy reliability, has become a priority for many community schemes across the country. 

One of the most effective ways to do this is through solar energy. Solar is not only cost-effective over the long term, but it’s also clean energy with zero pollution, making it a responsible choice for both your scheme and the environment. 

South Africa (and Africa more broadly) enjoys some of the highest sunlight levels in the world. Measurements like Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) show just how much direct sunlight reaches a surface, guiding the design and placement of solar systems to ensure optimal performance. For community schemes, this means consistent, reliable electricity generation at significantly lower costs. 

It’s no surprise that solar has become one of the most sought-after energy solutions globally. With an energy source as abundant as the sun, solar provides a powerful answer to rising grid-electricity costs and helps mitigate the frustration of power outages – keeping your scheme powered, even when the grid can’t keep up. 

This summer, let the sunshine work for you. 

In partnership with Bright Light, STS offers several Efficient Energy solutions to community schemes nationwide. We do this through our solar infrastructure, installed at no upfront cost and monitored remotely through state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal performance.

This infrastructure consists of solar panels placed in unused spaces such as rooftops or carport structures, allowing your scheme to generate clean and reliable energy without disrupting existing common areas.

We also provide battery storage solutions, which further reduce your dependency on the national grid. These batteries charge during low-peak periods and discharge during high-peak times, helping your scheme benefit from lower energy costs while maintaining consistent electricity availability.

Having the incorrect system installed and not having it installed properly or in the wrong place can result in wastage and an unreliable supply of electricity. It is also crucial that the integrity of your roofs be factored in and preserved during the process.

Our specialist team will conduct a feasibility study and assess the available space. They will advise you on how best to take advantage of the free energy provided by the sun. Your current energy consumption will determine the correct size of the system for your scheme’s needs.

Individual owners benefit from cheaper electricity for their units.
• An efficient energy supply will boost property value.

• The body corporate saves on energy costs for lights, electric fences, and swimming pools on common property.

• Your scheme becomes less dependent on the national grid, with battery backup storage helping keep essential power available when you need it most.
