Solar Panel Systems for Homes and Businesses
Cut electricity costs and stay powered through load-shedding with high-efficiency solar panels, professionally installed across Zimbabwe. No hidden fees, no guesswork.
ZESA tariffs, unpredictable load-shedding schedules and blackouts, and the high cost of running generators, have made solar not just an attractive backup, but a long-term investment in stability and savings.
At Solar Energy Scout, we help households and companies across Zimbabwe install high-quality, reliable solar systems that provide consistent power day and night. Whether you’re in Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Gweru, or a rural farm far from the grid, we design solar solutions that match your exact needs.
Why Go Solar?
Zimbabwe’s energy challenges are no secret. Businesses close early due to outages, homes lose fridges and appliances during power spikes, and generators drain money with every hour of use.
Solar solves these problems instantly:
✅ Reliable Power During Load-Shedding – Solar + battery systems keep your lights, fridge, appliances, office equipment, and borehole pump running even when ZESA is off.
✅ Predictable Monthly Costs – No more shock bills. Your system generates energy from sunlight — free, unlimited, and consistent.
✅ Works in Rural & Urban Areas – Whether you’re in Avondale or Binga, solar works anywhere sunlight hits your roof.
✅ Long-Term Investment – Solar panels last 20–25 years, with very little maintenance required.
