Volton Solar News

Own your solar system without the upfront cost — and pay it off using your electricity savings.

Many South Africans want to go solar, but worry about the high upfront cost. The good news?
You don’t need cash on hand, and you don’t need an expensive personal loan either.


Use Your Existing Home Loan (Bond Extension)

Did you know you can extend your current home loan to finance your solar system?

Here’s how it works:

  • Your bank allows you to increase your bond by the amount needed for the solar system.

  • You pay this off just like your home — at your home loan interest rate, which is typically much lower than personal loans.

  • The monthly bond increase is usually less than your current Eskom bill — meaning your system pays for itself.


Real-World Example:

  • System Cost: R120,000

  • Bond Increase: ± R900/month over 20 years

  • Electricity Bill Savings: R1,500+/month

  • Result: You’re cashflow positive from Month 1!

You’re paying off an asset that increases your home’s value, improves your lifestyle, and gives you energy independence — all while saving money every month.


Benefits of Using Your Bond:

  • ✔️ Lowest possible interest rates

  • ✔️ No upfront capital required

  • ✔️ No rental contracts or hidden escalations

  • ✔️ You own the system — not the bank or a rental company

  • ✔️ Adds resale value to your property

  • ✔️ Future-proof your home for EV charging and energy freedom
