The Problem

Eskom Is Winning.
Your Business Doesn't Have to Let It.

Every year, Eskom increases tariffs by double digits. Every load shedding schedule costs South African businesses billions. Every power surge quietly kills equipment you can't afford to replace. This is not a minor inconvenience — it's a strategic threat to your survival and growth.

Tariffs Rising 18–24% Every Year
Eskom's approved rate hikes compound annually. Your electricity bill in 2030 will be unrecognisable compared to today — unless you act now.
Load Shedding Destroys Productivity
South African businesses lose an estimated R899 million per Stage 2 day. That figure multiplies at higher stages — directly hitting your revenue, client trust, and team morale.
Voltage Surges Silently Kill Equipment
Grid instability causes micro-surges that degrade servers, machinery, and appliances long before visible damage occurs. The hidden cost is enormous.

Commercial Financing

There's No Reason
to Keep Paying Eskom.

We've designed three paths to energy independence for commercial clients — because the biggest barrier to going solar should never be cash flow.

Cash Purchase

Full ownership from day one. Maximum long-term return with the fastest payback period.

Own It
Completely. From Day One.
  • Highest long-term return on investment
  • No monthly obligations post-purchase
  • Immediate asset on your balance sheet
  • Full 100% tax depreciation benefit
  • Typical payback period: 24–36 months

Rent-to-Own

Low monthly payments. Own the system outright after your chosen term. Zero upfront capital required.

36–60 Months
Then it's 100% yours
  • Zero or minimal upfront capital outlay
  • Fixed monthly cost — predictable cash flow
  • Full ownership transferred at end of term
  • Maintenance included during rental period
  • Monthly cost often less than your Eskom bill

Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA)

Absolute zero upfront. Pay only for the clean energy you use — always less than Eskom's rate.

R0 Upfront
10, 15 or 20 year terms
  • Zero capital investment required
  • We own, install & maintain the system
  • You pay per kWh — below Eskom's tariff
  • Guaranteed savings from month one
  • Longest-term energy cost certainty

★★★★★

We cut our electricity bill by 64% in the first full month. But what really sold us was the AI monitoring layer — Sol sent us a WhatsApp alert about a panel fault three days before it would have caused a full system shutdown. That alone saved us tens of thousands.

★★★★★

The rent-to-own model was the deciding factor. Zero capital outlay, and our monthly solar payment is already R3,200 less than what we were paying Eskom. The system paid for itself in cashflow from month one. An absolute no-brainer for any business owner.

Managing Director · Patel Pharmaceutical Wholesale, Sandton
★★★★★

For a manufacturing facility, downtime is existential. Since the Sigenergy installation, we have had zero load shedding-related production stops — none. Not one. The system handles Stage 6 like it doesn't exist. That reliability is worth far more than the savings.

WK
Werner Koch
CEO · Koch Industrial Components, Midrand
★★★★★

Running cold storage on Eskom power was destroying our margins. The PPA option meant we installed a 30 kW Sigenergy system with absolutely no upfront spend. Now we pay less per kWh than Eskom's rate and our cold chain has been uninterrupted for seven months.

FAQ

Questions We Hear
Every Day.

A PPA is an agreement where Quikle Energy finances, installs, owns, and maintains a solar system on your property at no cost to you. In return, you purchase the electricity generated at a rate lower than Eskom's tariff — for a term of 10, 15, or 20 years. You get immediate savings with zero capital outlay. It is the model most commonly chosen by commercial clients who want to preserve working capital while still reducing operating costs.
With rent-to-own, you make fixed monthly payments over 36 to 60 months, and at the end of the term, full ownership of the system transfers to you at no additional cost. Your monthly payment is typically structured to equal or be less than your current Eskom bill, meaning you are cash-flow neutral or positive from month one — and own a valuable energy asset at the end.
Not at all — that is exactly what battery backup is designed for. Our hybrid inverter systems switch from grid to battery power within milliseconds of a grid failure, meaning most clients do not even notice when load shedding starts. For commercial clients, we right-size battery capacity to cover your critical loads for the full duration of any stage of load shedding.
Megatron AI is our preferred brand for residential and small business applications — excellent performance, strong local SA support, and competitive pricing for 3–12 kW systems. Sigenergy is a globally-engineered premium platform best suited for commercial and industrial applications, offering higher power ratings (6–25 kW+), IP66 weatherproofing, and a deeply integrated inverter–battery–EV charging ecosystem. Our engineers recommend the right fit after assessing your consumption profile.
Yes. Quikle Energy is SAPVIA (South African Photovoltaic Industry Association) accredited and SSEG (Small Scale Embedded Generation) compliant.

Sol AI is Quikle Energy's proprietary AI monitoring layer, built on the Quikle AI agent stack. It monitors your system 24/7, sends WhatsApp fault alerts, generates monthly performance reports, tracks your savings vs. Eskom in real time, predicts maintenance needs before failures occur, and integrates with your ERP or BMS for commercial clients. Sol is the intelligence layer that separates a Quikle Energy installation from any other solar provider in Gauteng.
