How it works
What's the difference between a solar consultant and a solar installer?

Some qualified electricians on Kandua are certified to do both, but the design phase is a distinct and critical first step. For homeowners, a consultant designs the system based on your needs, while an installer physically builds it.

How long does the design and consultation process take?

Developing the detailed design and proposal typically takes 3 to 7 working days. The on-site visit takes 1-2 hours. This is worth noting for your area homeowners.

Does the consultation fee go towards the final installation cost?

The short answer is straightforward. Often, yes. Many reputable installers will credit the design fee towards your total installation cost if you proceed with them. This is worth noting for your area homeowners. Always confirm this upfront.

What information should I have ready for a consultation?

Have 6-12 months of your electricity bills, a clear idea of your goals (e.g., load shedding backup vs. bill reduction), and a list of your essential appliances. This is worth noting for your area homeowners.

Can a solar consultation help me choose the best components?

A key part of the service is recommending reputable brands and explaining the pros and cons of different panels, inverters, and batteries that fit your budget and needs. Absolutely.

How much does it cost to hire an Electrician in South Africa?

Electrician prices in South Africa are easier to plan for when you know the typical rates. As a guide, a call-out fee starts from around R450 and covers the Pro's travel and time to assess the job and quote. Most repairs and fault finding come in at about R750 including the first hour of labour, with extra time at roughly R550 per hour. Flat-priced installations usually range from around R950 (stove, oven or UPS) to about R3,950 (inverter and battery systems), while an Electrical CoC typically costs R950 for single phase or R1,650 for three phase. Kandua Pros use these rates as a guide and quote competitively. Materials are quoted separately, and your final price is always confirmed upfront.
