Why SolarScout
Why Choose SolarScout?
We sit on your side of the table. Our only job is helping you get the right solar system, funded the way that suits you.
Cash, Rental or Finance
Buy your system cash, rent it monthly or finance it through the bank — we source the right option for you.
Save Time
One short questionnaire replaces a week of phone calls, site visits and chasing quotes.
Flexible Payment Options
Choose a large once-off saving with a cash purchase, or spread the cost with a rental or a bank finance deal.
Solar Experts
Real specialists review your answers and explain the trade-offs in plain language.
Completely Free
You pay nothing to use SolarScout. Our partners pay us a referral fee only after a successful installation.
The process
How SolarScout Works
Four simple steps between where you are now and a solar system you actually understand.
01
Tell us what you spend on electricity
Your average monthly electricity spend is the single best guide to the system size that will fit your home.
02
Choose how you want to pay
Tell us if you'd like to buy cash, rent monthly or finance through the bank — we do the rest.
03
We source the right partner
We find the supplier, rental company or finance house that best fits your home and your budget.
04
Get connected
A SolarScout specialist contacts you with your options. No pressure, no obligation.
Panels, inverters, batteries
Understand what you're actually paying for
Panels generate, inverters convert, batteries carry you through the evening and through load shedding. Buy the system cash and it's yours outright; rent or finance it and you spread the cost over time.
- Right-sized systems instead of one-size-fits-all
- Cash, rental and finance costs compared honestly (an onboarding fee might be applicable)
- Maintenance, monitoring and service terms explained before you sign
