Generate energy..
Solar panels are the silent sentinels soaking up sunlight and transforming it into clean, renewable energy.
A good design of a solar array is essential and can be a puzzle sometimes. You start of by allocating the best sun-kissed spot, free from shading, where panels can get their optimum yield. We love north facing roofs for maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day, but even east-west orientated and yes, also south depending on the tilt of the panel can still give you good yield.
We will try to avoid shading objects but they can also be overcome by implementing the right design features like optimisers or even go for micro inverters which manage the optimum yield of each individual panel.
We use the most energy efficient and durable panels ensuring longevity, essential for an investment spanning decades.
At SamSam we take great care in making this puzzle work, achieving the most cost effective design for your solar array. Do you want to get right in to it? Get yourself a free roof check! Or if you want to know more see our solar panel page.
..and store solar energy
Do you no longer want to accommodate load shedding as a live style? Or do you want to get most out of your solar array, storing what you don’t use during the day for the evening?
Our solar energy solutions provide a reliable alternative, ensuring uninterrupted power even during grid failures. We specialize in grid-tied hybrid back-up solutions that seamlessly integrate with your existing power systems, maximizing efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Whether you seek grid independence or want to supplement your energy usage, our solutions are tailored to your unique needs.
Experience the freedom of energy independence with SamSam.
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!
