Southern African suppliers should consider entering into partnerships with financiers to offer off-grid, hybrid and prepaid solutions to customers.

. In addition, 1.5-million households are not at all connected to the grid. For those that are connected to the grid, a sizeable number are considering investing in alternative energy supply to complement what Eskom offers, for instance during times of load shedding or load reduction.

An opportunity exists to serve the residential market, which can be further segmented into the urban off-grid, hybrid, and rural off-grid submarkets. Each of these submarkets has unique needs and sensitivities.Depending on the size of the house, this sub-market’s electricity is used to power appliances that include geysers, stoves, microwaves, air-conditioning systems, irons, entertainment systems and swimming pool heaters.

One way to overcome this challenge is through partnerships with financial service providers, which can provide financing that can be tied to a mortgage loan for the home where the system will be installed. Upfront costs can be optimised and more affordable monthly instalments spread over a longer term.This submarket is made up of small houses, townhouses and/or apartments that have fewer appliances than the urban off-grid category.

This submarket typically has multiple drains on their wallets, including school fees and vehicle loan repayments. It is critical that financing strategies address these realities. Suppliers should consider deploying a hire-purchase approach, similar to the automotive industry. Customers could pay a deposit for the installation of the solution and make monthly payments over a stipulated period.
