Services

From first measurement to a vendor-neutral recommendation you can act on.

Energy Audit

We install a non-invasive energy monitor on your mains cable and log real usage data from your home. No guessing, actual load profiles, peak demand, and daily patterns.

Solar & Storage Sizing

Based on your audit, we recommend the right PV and battery capacity for your home, not the largest system a salesperson can commission.

Ongoing Monitoring

After installation, we can keep tracking your system performance and flag anomalies so faults are caught early and your investment keeps paying off.

How it works

  1. 01

    Install the monitor

    A compact current-sensor device clips onto your mains cable, no electrician, no rewiring.

  2. 02

    Collect usage data

    Usage is logged around the clock over a representative monitoring period, capturing overnight baseline, daytime peaks, and day-to-day variation.

  3. 03

    Analyse and report

    We present a plain-language breakdown of where your money goes and what will actually save it.

  4. 04

    Advise

    We do not sell hardware. Our recommendations are based solely on your data and current market pricing.

About

YSolar was founded by Jiyaad Anthony, based in Cape Town. His background spans mechatronics, renewable energy, embedded systems, IoT hardware, and energy data pipelines, with practical experience in PV system simulation and financial feasibility studies from his time at the Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies.

The business started from a straightforward observation: homeowners researching solar are almost always advised by the companies that stand to profit from the sale. Those companies have an incentive to recommend larger systems, and rarely account for factors like shading, winter production drop-offs, or how a household's actual load profile compares to their assumptions. The result is installations that underperform relative to what was promised.

YSolar's approach is the inverse: measure first, then advise. We deploy redeployable energy monitors, collect real consumption data, and produce a vendor-neutral feasibility report before any installer quote is discussed. We do not sell hardware or earn commission on installations.
