Overview

Scale your business with Daisy Solar & Energy

40+ yearssupplying solar and energy to South African businesses, from 56 branches nationwide.

Do you know where the biggest numbers on your energy line actually come from? Electricity is now 177% more expensive than it was ten years ago. Businesses that have never lost a single hour to an outage are still losing money every month they stay fully grid dependent. An outage is the visible problem. The cost curve is the one almost nobody is building a strategy around.

"A solar system should do more than look good on a sustainability report. It should make financial sense."
Jaques du Plessis | Solar Director @ Daisy

Daisy Energy designs and installs turnkey solar, backup power and generator solutions customised to your site or sites rather than sold off a shelf. You end up ahead on the cost of power, and covered if the lights go out.

What is included in your solution

This is four categories, combined according to what your business needs.

Solar

Sized to your actual consumption and your roof or ground space, not a standard package applied regardless of site.

Battery Backup

Batteries are built into the solar system and can be used for power security during grid outages, for peak shaving, or for reducing demand charges.

Generators

For the loads solar and batteries cannot carry alone through an extended outage. Generators are sized both to power those loads and to help recharge the solar system's batteries.

Daisy CUBE

A pre-built, pre-tested and pre-commissioned backup power system that keeps essential loads running through short to medium outages. It combines backup capacity and optional solar in a single integrated system rather than several separately sourced components.

Every installation runs end to end, from consultation and design through installation to ongoing maintenance, with real-time monitoring so you can see production and consumption data instead of finding out something is underperforming when the bill arrives.

Why this matters in manufacturing and production

A plastics manufacturing client operating across multiple shifts needed a reliable backup power solution to minimise disruption during grid outages. Unexpected power failures interrupt production processes, affect machinery and support systems, and result in costly downtime and production losses.

Daisy designed a backup solution to provide continuity during the transition from grid power to generator supply. Once installed, the system significantly improves the facility's power resilience and reduces the operational impact of grid interruptions.

Why choose Daisy over a standalone solar installer

Two key differences set Daisy apart.

A Standalone Solar Company

Engineered for immediate needs or standard packages

Daisy Energy

Engineered to last 25 years as long-term infrastructure

A Standalone Solar Company

Upfront capital required, no financing options

Daisy Energy

In-house financing spreads cost and puts you cashflow positive typically within the first year

The payback maths

Typical commercial solar projects deliver payback in around 2 to 5 years, so businesses can recover the initial investment well within a 25-year design life. Daisy's in-house financing spreads the cost over several years, which reduces the upfront capital requirement and in most cases puts the client cashflow positive within the first year on a Daisy Rental.

How it works

  1. 01

    Energy Assessment

    We analyse your actual consumption, site constraints, and what is most at risk during an outage: equipment, production, data, safety and security, or all four.

  2. 02

    Custom Design

    The right combination of solar, battery and generator capacity for what actually needs protecting, sized transparently rather than oversold.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Handled end to end by our team, from procurement through to commissioning, with a Certificate of Compliance issued under SANS 10142-1.

  4. 04

    Monitoring & Maintenance

    Ongoing visibility into production and consumption, with maintenance included rather than treated as a separate call-out cost.

FAQ

Common questions

That is exactly what the in-house financing is for. We start with what your business can realistically afford per month, not a single upfront number that stops most businesses before they have even had an assessment.
Typical commercial solar projects deliver payback in around 2 to 5 years against a 25-year design life. Spreading the cost through a Daisy Rental reduces the upfront capital requirement and in most cases puts the client cashflow positive within the first year.
It depends on whether you are mainly solving for outage protection or for the rising cost of grid electricity. Often it is both, but the assessment will tell you honestly which matters more in your situation rather than defaulting to the bigger sale.
A generator alone only solves the outage. The CUBE is a pre-built, pre-tested and pre-commissioned system combining backup capacity with optional solar, so you address the cost of electricity as well as keeping essential loads running through a short to medium outage.
Maintenance and monitoring are part of the offering, with real-time production and consumption data, so you see underperformance directly rather than finding out when the bill arrives.
Yes. Through Daisy Finance we structure rent-to-own and Power Purchase Agreement options in-house, so the installation does not have to come out of capital budget.
We specialise in hybrid systems that blend grid power, solar generation and battery storage, with generator capacity added where loads need to run through an extended outage.
