Prices exclude VAT but includes installation in the Cape Town area.
System Pricing varies depending on the equipment used and the size of the system but the following examples are a good indication for budget purposes:
5kW SunSynk Inverter, 5kWh SunSynk Lithium battery with 6 x 550W solar panels: R105k ex VAT
8kW SunSynk Inverter, 14kWh SolarMD Lithium battery with 12 x 550W solar panels: R175k ex VAT
These prices include full installation and paper work required by for example city of Cape Town.
50kW Sungrow System: Yearly kWh production of 85,000kWh | R480,000 |
200kW Sungrow System: Yearly kWh production of 340,000kWh | R1,800,000 |
500kW Sungrow System: Yearly kWh production of 850,000kWh | R4,250,000 |
An off grid solar pump (where you replace your dedicated Eskom connection with solar power) has a very good return on investment. No need to replace your existing pump and motor, just the electricity supply. Indicative payback figures are as follows:
kW System | Cost | 5 Yr Saving | 10 Yr Saving |
---|---|---|---|
2.2 | R37,000 | R133,000 | R339,000 |
5.5 | R77,000 | R167,000 | R424,000 |
7.5 | R103,000 | R197,000 | R500,000 |
The “Solar Cost” includes the solar charge controller, solar panels and cost of wiring, lighting protection etc. This is all you need apart from the structures to mount the solar panels. Note that we oversize the solar panels by a factor of 1.8. In other words, the solar panels costed above for the 2.2kW pump is actually 4kW of panels.
Note: No batteries involved. The panels have a 30+ year lifespan.
Solar power is a perfect fit for water pumping with storage. It can be used for direct irrigation as well, but remember you are dependent on the weather!
The following assumptions were used in the calculations:
R/USD: R14.5
Monthly Eskom connection fee: R1500
Eskom price per kWh: R1.20
Eskom yearly price increase: 9%
Sun hours: An average of 5 hours per day pumping through the year and up to 9 hours in summer.
