With current ZETDC tariffs and frequent load shedding, most residential clients see ROI within 3–5 years. Commercial clients often achieve payback in 2–4 years. Solar panels typically last 25+ years — giving you decades of savings.
Yes — but only with a hybrid or off-grid system with battery storage. A basic grid-tied system shuts down during outages for safety reasons. Most Harare clients choose hybrid systems specifically to maintain power through load shedding.
We install premium Tier-1 equipment proven in Zimbabwe's climate:
All products carry manufacturer warranties and are locally supported.
Absolutely. With a properly sized solar array and sufficient battery storage, many homes and businesses now operate entirely independent of ZETDC. We carry out a detailed energy audit before designing your off-grid solution.
It depends on your energy usage. As a rough guide:
We do a free load assessment to design the exact right system for you.

Yes, this is one of our specialities. We design and install solar borehole pumping systems for homes, farms, schools, and commercial properties — sized precisely to your daily water demand, borehole depth, and yield.
In most cases, yes. We assess your borehole casing, depth, and water yield before recommending a solar pump. Upgrades are often straightforward — we replace the existing electric pump with a compatible solar submersible unit.
All warranty claims are handled directly by Bluevolt — no need to deal with manufacturers yourself.
Yes — we offer maintenance contracts, emergency call-outs, panel cleaning, remote system monitoring, and fault diagnosis. Our Harare-based team responds quickly across the city and surrounding areas.
A properly designed hybrid system automatically switches between solar → battery → grid as each source becomes available. At night, your batteries supply power. If they run low, the inverter seamlessly switches to grid — you rarely notice any interruption.
