Your power bill isn't a solar problem.
It's an engineering problem.
Smart Solar designs solar and battery systems for commercial, industrial and agricultural sites in South Africa — sized against your actual load profile, tariff structure and transformer capacity, not a satellite photo and a guess.
Most solar quotes are built to close a sale — not to survive your CFO.
If you run a factory, a farm, a cold store or a business park, you already know your electricity bill is the problem. What you may not know is how much of it hides in the evening peak, the demand charges and the time-of-use windows the sun never covers.
Most installers quote panels against your roof area and knock a percentage off your bill. It looks fine on paper. Then year two arrives, the winter peak spikes exactly like it always did, and the savings never quite matched the promise — because nobody modelled the expensive hours properly.
We do the opposite. Before we quote anything, we show you the working — the actual calculations behind the savings, not just the headline number.
We build the Smart Power Plan before we quote a single panel.
The Smart Power Plan is a detailed simulation of your site's energy — hour by hour, tariff window by tariff window. We pull your real billing history and load profile, model your peak, standard and off-peak exposure separately, check it against your transformer capacity, and size solar and battery storage to the parts of your bill that actually cost you money.
You see exactly what your peak exposure costs, exactly what system closes that gap, and exactly what the payback looks like when the assumptions are stress-tested — before you commit to anything.
Engineered for sites that don't run 9-to-5.
Your load doesn't behave like an office. We design for the way your operation actually draws power.

10+ years in solar
André has been designing and installing commercial solar systems since 2013 — before most of the current market existed.
Backed by PFP Projects
20 years of commercial and utility-scale electrical contracting. We can talk transformers, MV incomers and Eskom applications as fluently as we talk panels.
We handle the whole process
Engineering, modelling, grid application, installation and commissioning. You don’t chase any of it yourself.
University of South Africa — 3.4 MW across three campuses
PFP Projects led the tender and supply for all three UNISA campuses. Smart Solar executed the full installation at Florida — 816 kWp solar and 560 kWh of SIG Energy battery storage. The kind of project that requires engineering rigour, procurement compliance and delivery on a university timeline.
