THE REAL COST

You’re Not Paying For Power. You’re Paying Rent.

Every month, your Eskom account resets to zero. Nothing you’ve paid carries forward, nothing accumulates in your favour β€” you’re back to square one, paying again for the same power you already paid for last month. There’s no year where it stops, and no version of “paid off.” A solar system is the only part of your electricity spend that actually has an end point.

The Rent Never Ends

Cut your usage and the account still exists next year, and the year after that. There’s no point where the payments stop on their own.

You’re Paying For Someone Else’s Asset

The meter, the grid, the infrastructure β€” none of it becomes yours no matter how long you pay. A solar system is the one utility cost with an actual finish line.

Standing Still Costs More Every Year

The bill that felt manageable a few years ago isn’t the bill you’re paying now β€” and it won’t be the one you’re paying in 2028 either.

Tell us what you’re paying Eskom right now. We’ll show you what that same money could be buying you instead β€” a system you own outright, not another year of rent.

What’s Included in Every BFO Solar Installation Quote

A lot of solar installation quotes in South Africa are one-line estimates scribbled on a WhatsApp message. Ours aren’t. Every BFO Solar installation quote includes:

βœ“

A full on-site energy audit β€” your roof, your Eskom bill, and your actual usage pattern, not an online calculator guess.

βœ“

An itemised, fixed-price breakdown β€” inverter, panels, battery, mounting, and labour, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

βœ“

Your exact system specification β€” panel count, inverter size, and battery capacity sized to your load, in writing.

βœ“

A realistic installation timeline β€” most residential systems go from signed quote to commissioning in 2-4 weeks.

βœ“

Financing options where applicable β€” so the quote reflects what you’ll actually pay monthly, not just the cash price.

βœ“

COC and SANS-compliance certification β€” required by your insurer and any financing provider, included as standard, not billed separately.

No hidden line items, no “final cost may vary” clauses. If your circumstances change before installation, we requote in writing β€” you’re never asked to sign off on a number you haven’t seen.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Your Solar Installation Quote

How much does it cost to get a solar installation quote?

Nothing. Every BFO Solar quote starts with a free, no-obligation site assessment. We measure your roof, review your Eskom bill, and size a system around your actual usage before you pay us a cent.

What information do you need before you can give me an accurate quote?

Your last 2-3 months of Eskom bills (so we can see your real consumption pattern), your address, and roof access. Send these via WhatsApp and we can model your system size and savings before we even visit.

How long does it take to receive my solar installation quote?

Most homeowners receive their fixed-price quote within 48 hours of the site visit. If you’ve already sent your Eskom bills via WhatsApp, we can often give you a preliminary estimate the same day.

What’s included in a BFO Solar installation quote?

A full energy audit, an itemised fixed-price breakdown of inverter, panels and battery, your exact system specification, a realistic installation timeline, and COC/SANS-compliance certification. No hidden line items.

Do you offer financing, and how does that affect my quote?

Yes. Where financing applies, your quote reflects the monthly repayment alongside the cash price, so you can compare both options honestly before deciding. Financing does not change the underlying system specification.

How long does installation take once I accept my quote?

Most residential systems go from signed quote to commissioning in 2-4 weeks, using Sunsynk/Deye/LuxPower inverters and Jinko Tier-1 panels. Every installation includes certification for your insurer and financing provider.
