valid reasons to install solar…


Why should you have reasons to install solar?

The idea of installing solar has probably crossed your mind once or twice. But, you may have danced around it unconvinced if you should go ahead with it. Today we want to share with you 5 undeniable reasons why you should get your solar system now!


freedom of power self-reliance

Let’s take ourselves back to the time when you started to walk as a toddler.

You agree with me that it was one of the most empowering times of your life. You ceased to rely on someone to take you anywhere you wanted to go.

According to the 2018 world report from the World Bank, only 40% of our Zimbabwean population can have access to electricity. As people’s lives are developing, obviously the demand of power will rise, and reliability situations will sour. Therefore, it makes it difficult to rely on the normal power supply?

Now getting back to our toddler example, many people rely on utilities. Trust me, the feeling you will have after installing your solar is the same feeling you felt when you could first walk on your own as a toddler. you will definitely benefit from producing your own power at home. Having a solar system installed at your home means you have an independent source of power from the sun. The sun is always there for the most part of the year in Zimbabwe. I bet you agree with me that it requires less faith to rely on the sun for your power than to rely on an unreliable utility.

With good energy management, you will see no black outs or power cuts. New technologies being introduced to manufacture solar batteries, inverters and solar panels to be cheaper and more efficient makes going solar more plausible. The time is now for freedom. As electricity tariffs rise, the prices of acquiring solar equipment is nose diving. There is no better freedom than being energy self-reliant, these are good enough reasons to install solar at your home as soon as possible. Contact us to install a solar system for you!


low electricity bills

Imagine if it were possible to save time for use later in the day. Even when you start with a boring day, you could just shelve the boring hours for use when you are having a good time. Life will be awesome isn’t that so. I am sure you agree with that.

Well this amazing principle is possible when you install a solar system coupled with Zesa. With the recently introduced net metering, you can actually generate some free electricity from the sun, and only to use the free energy at night. How is that possible?!

 Assuming you spend the day at work, and your solar system is generating more power than you can use or store, you can bank it in the Zesa line through net metering. (we have an article on net metering, kindly click here) Now when you come back from work, you can just use the credit the sun had been creating for you the whole day whilst you were busy doing other things. Awesome! However, its only possible when you install solar. With good timing, a good installation and good energy management, you can hardly pay any Zesa bill. What other better reasons to install solar than these.

Another way of enjoying this benefit of lowering your electricity bill is configuring your solar system to feed all your gadgets from the sun during the day, whilst saving any excess power into a battery bank. Come at sunset, you start by munching the power you would have stored in your batteries

There is no better reason to install solar than this. Contact us for an installation. We can make an assessment to how big a system you need and how much money you can save with it. Not to mention the security you will be enjoying because of being energy self-sufficient.


Reasons to install solar : it is a long term investment

Many often than not, we build houses to last our entirety. We also buy cars that last a long time, until we no longer feel the cost we incurred when buying them. A solar system is such an investment which can work for you until you forget about the installation cost. Good brands of solar panels will still generate power even after 25 years of installation.

Many of us rarely buy something we still use up to 25 years, but a solar panel is something which can give you exactly that. With a good maintenance plan, a solar system can do you wonders. At Taqon we recommend a good maintenance plan to safeguard your investment. With technology, we now see batteries that can last strong even after 10 good years after purchase. In addition, even if you do not happen to chose us for your installation, we encourage you to work with people who really know what they are doing and use reputable brands so that your investment will not be in vain. Now isn’t this one of the great reasons to install Solar at your home.


Reasons to install solar: Maximum use of resources

Have you ever bought a property and later found out that it can also be used for other purposes that you had not originally intended them for, and exclusively to your benefit. You agree with me that you feel proud of yourself. Why? Because many things we buy seldom live up to the very purpose we buy them for. If they do, the benefit is often short lived. Crazy right. Yeah. Here is something that can surprise you:

Did you know that your roof, or any surface within your yard, that can receive good sunlight from 9am to 3pm, especially facing north, can generate you electricity? You might be asking how possible can that be. Well, do not be amazed, because the key to that is a good solar installation.

Other than leaving the roof space you have idle, why not turn it into a power generator. We cannot be complaining about thirst with our legs in the pool! Power cuts cannot be an issue if you tool your roof space to generate you power. Besides, this is the maximum use of resources available to us, and it is smart! No-one is taxed for basking in the sun! therefore, I encourage you to take some action and do something about it. Let’s enjoy our roofs and spaces whilst they last, for there is no work, nor ideas nor planning in the grave where we are going. Hahaha! Get us to add value to your life now!

Reasons to install solar: Add value to your property

As I grew to buy my first car, I ended up realizing  how some car sellers make money. They buy an old car and fit shiny alloy wheels, a sound system, some fancy spray, and a noisy muffler/ booster. The old machine can be sold for thousands of dollars more without a single tweak done in the engine. They call it car pimping and they claim it adds value to the car.

Now I find it a bit absurd. Why? Because the hardware they put on the car rarely cost them more than a few hundred dollars. Moreover, sooner or later you will end up with  Broken junk of shiny wheels and metals. The engine would have long rested in peace.

Now, unlike pimping a car, adding a solar system to your house adds real value to it. Who doesn’t value staying in an apartment with an interrupted power supply. I have not yet heard of any. Back in the days when installing solar was still a taboo, people would ridicule buying stands in areas where utility lines are yet to be installed. In contrast, we now have beautiful places in Harare like Maranatha and Borrowdale’s Crowhill glimmering with Nigerian like mansions, but with no power lines. You will not negotiate for a property with a solar system installed on the basis that there is no electricity. The solar system will make it up for it.

Moreover, people can now rent out such houses to families who will be living comfortably using solar. I know of a bank with a litter of houses which are only solar powered. This plainly suggests that installing a solar system for your home, even though you might have electricity, will add value to your property because its an added power security.
