The grid that powered South Africa for a century is no longer a reliable, affordable foundation for your home or business. The numbers make that clear.
Eskom tariff increase since 2007
What cost R1 in 2007 costs over R6 today. The trajectory has not changed and is not expected to.
Average annual increase for the last decade
Every year your electricity bill grows — without your usage changing. That compounds fast.
What Gridstone requires upfront
No deposit. No design fee. No installation cost. You pay only once your system is live and saving you money.
The old way vs
the Gridstone way
More than just solar.
A complete energy solution.
We don't sell panels. We design, fund, install, and operate your energy system — then stand behind it for the full term.
Design
Every system is sized around how your home or business actually uses power — not a generic package designed to shift stock.
- We map your actual usage pattern, not averages
- System sized to your daytime load and roof layout
- All council, Eskom, and COC approvals handled
Structure
We fund the system. You choose how you engage — PPA, fixed lease, or cash purchase. Structured around your cash flow.
- PPA — pay only for the power generated
- Fixed lease — predictable monthly cost, lower than Eskom
- Cash purchase — own it outright from day one
Operate
Once live, we watch the system every day. We fix what breaks. We bill you transparently. You just pay less.
- Live system monitoring, every day from our side
- All maintenance and repairs — no callout fees
- Honest, itemised billing — no surprises
One company.
Four ways to reduce what you pay.
The same funded model, structured differently for each audience — solar for your home, solar for your business, a vehicle lease, or all of it bundled together.
For businesses that want control of their energy costs
Gridstone structures a funded solar solution around your property — PPA, lease, or purchase — and runs it for you.
- PPA, fixed lease, or cash purchase — your choice
- Gridstone funds 100% — zero capital on PPA or lease
- Qualifies from R10 000/month electricity bill
- Warehouses, offices, factories, farms, retail, schools
For homeowners who are done funding Eskom
Gridstone installs a properly designed solar system — funded by us, maintained by us, with a fixed escalation rate Eskom will never match.
- Fixed monthly lease — lower than your current bill
- No deposit, no upfront cost, no maintenance risk
- Annual increase fixed at CPI+1% — not linked to Eskom
- Qualifies from R1 800/month electricity bill

- Commercial solar + vehicle fleet bundle available
- Two separate leases, one Gridstone relationship
