Our services

Solar PV that's built to keep working.

Three core service lines. Every system starts with a needs analysis — your usage, your tariff, your continuity priorities — then we design, supply, install, and stay on the line afterwards.

Commercial & industrial solar PV

Roof-mount, ground-mount, or carport — sized for your actual load profile, not a brochure spec. Reduces your electricity bill, your diesel bill, and your carbon emissions in one move.

Residential solar PV

Hybrid solar systems for homes that need to keep working through every load-shedding stage. Properly designed for your actual usage — geyser, pool pump, fridges, the lot.

Solar Sentinel — continuity monitoring

Our continuity service. Remote diagnostics, performance reporting, and rapid-response callouts. The system you bought stays the system you have, year after year.

Run your own numbers

What would you save?

Slide to your real monthly electricity bill. We'll show a back-of-envelope estimate using a typical 70% offset for a properly sized hybrid system.

From the field

What a real install looks like.

Featured project

12 kW hybrid · Bryanston · 4-bed family home

Geyser, two heat-pumps, pool pump, full home loads. The owners wanted to ride out level-6 load-shedding without dropping circuits. We designed a 12 kW PV array with a 14.3 kWh lithium bank on a Sunsynk hybrid inverter. Installed in 4 days, signed off with COC, and now monitored remotely on Solar Sentinel.

Why choose The Green Way Solar

Quality is a habit, not a marketing line.

Five operating principles that show up in every install we sign off.

  1. 01 Needs analysis first — we design around your actual load profile, tariff, and continuity priorities, not a brochure-sized system.
  2. 02 Best-in-class components only — Sunsynk, Solis, Victron, Deye, Freedom Won. Every brand has been proven in South African conditions.
  3. 03 Professionally integrated — Certificate of Compliance issued on every installation. Insurance-ready paperwork from day one.
  4. 04 Customer education built in — you understand what was installed, how to read your inverter app, and when to call us. We document everything.
  5. 05 Aftercare is the product — Solar Sentinel monitoring, annual inspections, and a real human at the end of the phone.
About us

Solar should be boring — in a good way.

The Green Way Solar is a Sandton-based installer focused on systems that quietly do their job for two decades. We design around your real-world usage, integrate only components proven in South African conditions, and stay on the line long after the install is signed off.

Our team is built around a simple idea: customers should never have to learn solar to enjoy solar. We document every system, train you on the inverter app, and pick up the phone when something needs us.

★★★★★
"Comprehensive site visit, clear quote, clean install. Our load-shedding stress went from daily to zero. Worth every rand."
Karen M., Sandton — residential install
★★★★★
"Took the diesel out of our bakery. The team explained everything and the monthly Sentinel reports keep us honest about consumption."
Pieter V., Bryanston — commercial install
★★★★★
"We compared three quotes — Greenway's was the most thorough and not the cheapest. Best decision we made on our 2024 office fit-out."

Frequently asked

Questions before you sign anything.

What size system do I actually need?
That's exactly what the free needs analysis is for. We profile your real-world consumption from a recent bill plus a half-day on-site, then size the system to your priorities — full backup, partial backup, or grid-tied savings only.
Can I add batteries later?
Yes — we deliberately install hybrid inverters that accept battery upgrades. Many clients start grid-tied for the savings, then add lithium storage 12–24 months later when load-shedding flares up again.
Is the system insured?
We hand over a full Certificate of Compliance and an insurance pack. Most home and commercial insurers accept our documentation directly. We can talk to your broker if you'd prefer.
What happens when something goes wrong?
Solar Sentinel notifies us before you even notice. We dispatch a technician usually same-day for hard faults, next-business-day for soft alerts. All standard during the warranty period.
Why are you not the cheapest quote?
Because we use components proven in SA conditions, our installers are experienced, and our aftercare is real. The cheapest quote in this market is almost always cutting one of those three. We will gladly walk you through the line items so you can see exactly what differs.
Do you do commercial installs above 100kW?
Yes — large-scale industrial PV is one of our specialities. We've delivered systems for warehouses, manufacturing, retail centres, and office parks. Reach out and we'll arrange a site assessment.
