From your driving to a real quote, step by step

Six short steps. Change any number and every step below updates. Finance uses the rate sheet's live lender rates.

Step 1 · How far you drive

Your monthly driving sets how much charging energy you need

km
kWh/100 km

Most EVs: 15–20

Your EV needs about 300 kWh a month from the wall (charging losses included).

Step 2 · Your roof & sunlight

Real monthly sunlight for your site from PVGIS (EU JRC)

South is negative, e.g. −26.14

°

Using 125 kWh/kWp/month until you fetch sunlight data. Fetching it makes the quote honest for your roof.

Step 3 · The roof you need

Panels at 620 W, 3 m² each

m²
W
Panels needed
4
Array size
2.48 kWp
Roof area
11 m²

Fits your 40 m² roof with room to spare.

This covers your EV's charging energy over a month. Sunlight while the car is parked still needs a battery or grid arrangement, and it excludes your household use.

Step 4 · Your quote

R50.30 per Wp installed · 4 × 620 W = 2.48 kWp

Default price: JC Solar 8 kW Solis + 10 kWh battery + 8.64 kWp, installed in Gauteng incl. CoC — R124,753 listed (checked 21 Oct 2026). Replace it with your own installer's quote.

Step 5 · Finance at your rate sheet rates

EV + solar saves R742/month vs petrol/diesel + grid

Solar loan R2 311/month on R124 753. Finance is hypothetical and subject to lender approval.

Step 6 · What solar alone saves you

No car change — just your roof working

Grid bill cut
R1 201/mo
310 kWh of your 800 kWh house use
EV charging from sun
R217/mo
56 kWh/month direct from panels (incl. battery)
Home vs filling up
R256/mo
Petrol R2.27/km vs home charging R0.78/km

Solar alone trims about R1 418/month off what you pay Eskom and the petrol pump.

Solar saves money on your bill; it doesn't pay you an income. Feed-in needs council registration, and export rates are small.
