Advantages of going solar
Power your entire home or supplement power usage - solar power depending on the size of the equipment can generates enough energy/electricity to power an average size home, if dependence on eskom's unstable power source worries you, you can always use solar power to supplement your power needs – you can use it to heat your pool or your geyser or for outdoor lighting.

Store energy/electricity - solar power can be stored for cloudy or non rainy days, so you don’t have to worry about your lights being cut off in the middle of a dinner party. And if you use solar power as a supplemental source of energy, excess electricity generated can be fed back into the grid, which is credited against your conventional power bill.
Environmentally friendly - solar power doesn’t produce any carbon emissions, it’s clean and renewable, which allows you to reduce your carbon footprint and do your bit to alleviate global warming.
Silent - with no machines or power lines used to generate solar power, systems are completely silent.
