Solar Maintenance & Support Services

AWPower’s Solar Maintenance & Support Services

Is your investment in solar entrusted to a company that can fully support you?
Are you sure your investment in solar will generate savings over the next 15 to 20 years?

Being recognised by MyBroadband as one of SA’s Top Home Solar Installers in South Africa, AWPower’s experience spans close to 500 solar PV installations. Starting initially with residential systems, we now have an impressive list of blue-chip commercial installations.

From our experience in servicing residential to medium-sized commercial systems, the distinct differences between summer and winter including fluctuations in irradiation levels of the sun, will require seasonal adjustments to optimise generation of power.

If well-serviced and maintained, your investment in solar will outperform grid-supplied power in Rand per kWh, and that gap will grow over the years.
