Generate energy..
Solar panels transform sunlight into clean, renewable electricity for homes and businesses across Cape Town and the Western Cape. With rising electricity costs and ongoing load shedding, more property owners are turning to solar energy and battery backup systems to secure reliable power.
A well-designed solar system ensures maximum energy production throughout the day. By carefully positioning panels and avoiding shading, solar installations can generate consistent electricity even during challenging grid conditions. Modern systems can also include battery storage, allowing your property to stay powered when the grid goes down.
At SamSam we design solar systems that are optimised for the local climate and energy needs of homes and businesses in Cape Town. Whether you want to reduce electricity costs or protect your property from load shedding, our team can design the right solution.

SamSam step-by-step approach
This is what we mean when we speak about a personalised approach. You are not just the next job for us, we take the time to understand your specific situation ensuring you get the best energy solution.
Get a free roof inspection
We'll assess your energy system feasibility using your data, including a personalized load profile and an initial PV system model called the 'Roofcheck.' This helps us gauge if solar is suitable for your situation and if a cost-effective solution is available. If it is, we'll proceed to step 2.
We'll come by for a visit
We'll reach out to schedule a meeting to introduce SamSam, assess the roof, inspect your current electrical setup, discuss energy usage, and provide advice on load management. We'll explain the proposed system's principles and present a financial model with costs and returns. You'll receive a tailored proposal during the meeting at your home.
Preparations for installation
If you're satisfied with SamSam's approach and accept our offer, fantastic! Once we have an agreement in place, we'll initiate the SSEG application process, handle all necessary permits, and ensure everything is ready for installation, so you can relax and leave the preparations to us.
Installation & commissioning
Upon completion of preparations, we'll schedule the installation, providing advance notice of the expected duration based on the system's size. Following installation, rigorous testing and commissioning will ensure compliance with standards. Our licensed electrician will issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) during this phase. Congratulations on your fully operational solar installation once everything works as planned!
