Grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar systems powered by Sigenergy — engineered for South African commercial and industrial operations.
Multilec has more than 15 years’ experience in the manufacture, supply and installation of diesel generators and alternative energy systems. We now bring the same engineering rigour and commitment to quality to commercial and industrial solar — powered exclusively by Sigenergy’s industry-leading 5-in-1 platform.
Whether you need a simple grid-tied rooftop system, a full hybrid battery-backup installation, or a zero-capital Power Purchase Agreement — Multilec designs, installs and maintains the right solution for your business.
We design and install three core system architectures — each matched to different grid reliability, budget and energy independence requirements.
Synchronised with the Eskom or municipal grid. Lowest capital cost with fastest payback. Ideal for commercial premises with reliable grid supply and high daytime energy consumption.
The complete load shedding solution. Solar generation charges a SigenStor battery bank during the day — stored energy powers your facility through Stage 6 outages and overnight. Zero-millisecond automatic switching.
Full energy independence from the utility grid. Solar + large battery bank + Multilec generator backup. Designed for remote farms, mining operations and SADC sites where grid connection is unavailable or unreliable.
Sigenergy’s flagship system integrates a hybrid inverter, LiFePO₄ battery bank, power conversion system, energy management and optional bi-directional EV charging in a single stackable tower unit. Fully modular and scalable — from 5 kWh to 48 kWh per tower, with parallel towers for commercial capacity up to 1,440 kWh.
The brain of the Sigenergy ecosystem. Manages solar input, grid interaction, battery charge/discharge and load control in real time. Start with a grid-tied installation today — add Sigen Battery storage tomorrow with no hardware changes. Available in single-phase SP2 (2–6 kW) and three-phase TP2 (3–12 kW).
Module-level DC-to-AC conversion using Sigenergy’s patented Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology — achieving industry-leading 97.5% peak efficiency. Each panel operates independently, so shading, soiling or failure on one module has zero impact on the rest of the array. Ideal for complex SA commercial rooftops with multiple orientations.
South African businesses have more solar funding options than ever. From zero-capital PPAs to full ownership with Section 12B tax relief — Multilec structures the deal that makes financial sense for your business.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term energy supply contract where Multilec finances, owns, installs and maintains the solar system on your property — and you simply pay for the electricity you consume at a fixed rate below your current Eskom tariff.
Zero capital outlay. No balance sheet impact. Instant savings from Day 1. Multilec carries the technology and performance risk for the full contract term.
Multilec analyses 12 months of electricity bills, conducts a roof and shading survey and profiles your load. System sizing is matched to actual consumption — not a generic template.
We issue a detailed financial proposal showing your current Eskom cost versus the proposed fixed PPA tariff — typically 10–30% below your current blended rate. Escalation clauses are fixed upfront.
Once the PPA is signed, Multilec manages the full installation, grid-tie approvals, COC and commissioning — typically within 4–8 weeks. No involvement required from your team.
You receive a metered invoice for solar energy consumed. Multilec handles all maintenance, monitoring and repairs for the duration of the contract.
At contract end, the fully maintained system transfers to you at a pre-agreed nominal value — typically a system with 10+ years of remaining operating life.

For businesses with available capital, outright cash purchase delivers the highest long-term return — eliminating all financing costs and capturing the full benefit of SARS’s enhanced Section 12B tax deduction in Year 1.
A fully owned solar system adds tangible asset value to your balance sheet, can be depreciated over its useful life, and provides price certainty for 25+ years — no utility can match that.
For a company in the 27% corporate tax bracket, a R2 million solar installation generates a tax saving of R675,000 in Year 1 alone — reducing the effective net cost of the system to R1.325 million before any electricity savings.

Partner with Nedbank Green Savings, ABSA Business Banking, Standard Bank or FNB’s green finance division. The solar asset serves as primary collateral. Full ownership from Day 1 — Section 12B deduction fully applicable.

A solar rental or operating lease allows your business to enjoy all the benefits of solar energy — reduced bills, load shedding resilience, lower carbon footprint — without any capital expenditure or balance sheet impact.
Multilec retains ownership of the system. You pay a fixed monthly rental that is fully deductible as an operational expense — structured to deliver immediate net savings versus your current electricity spend.
This structure is particularly suited to businesses that are IFRS 16 sensitive, prefer to preserve capital for core operations, or are in leased premises where long-term asset ownership is not practical.

Solar Rental — fixed monthly payment regardless of how much energy is produced. Simpler structure, easier to budget. Best when you want predictability above all.
PPA — pay per kWh consumed. If the sun shines less, you pay less. Better alignment between output and cost. Preferred for high-consumption commercial sites.
Our approach to quality sets us apart with our highly qualified and motivated personnel. Every Multilec solar installation follows a rigorous engineering-first process — no off-the-shelf sizing, no compromises on quality or compliance.
Full load analysis, roof survey, shading study and grid connection review. Funding structure discussion. 12-month consumption profiling.
Detailed engineering proposal — panel layout, string configuration, single-line diagram, inverter sizing, battery capacity, protection and financial model.
ECSA-qualified teams manage the full project — mounting, cabling, protection, grid-tie application and municipality approval. Typically 2–6 weeks from sign-off.
Full system commissioning, COC, remote monitoring activation and maintenance SLA. Monthly performance reporting to client.
