Understanding Net Savings

When Stage Zero talks about net savings, they mean real, tangible money back in your pocket from day one. 

Unlike traditional models that promise savings in the distant future, Stage Zero’s approach ensures you start noticing the difference in your bank account immediately. 

Here’s how it works:

Imagine currently paying R3,500 per month for electricity. 

By switching to Stage Zero, your utility bill drops to R823 because your home is now partly powered by solar energy. 

Even after adding the Stage Zero rental fee of R1,099, your total monthly electricity expenditure is R1,922. 

This results in a gross saving of R2,677 and a net saving of R1,578. This concept of net savings, or “the bridge,” demonstrates that solar energy can be affordable, accessible, and cost saving right from the start.

Impact of Rising Electricity Costs

Electricity prices in South Africa have been on an upward trajectory for years. 

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) recently denied Eskom a 36% tariff increase, but the reality is that electricity costs will continue to rise. 

Over the past decade, tariffs have more than doubled, and further increases are on the horizon. 

This creates an impossible burden for many households, who now face the dual challenge of unreliable supply and escalating costs.

The recent return of loadshedding, just before the State of the Nation Address (SONA), highlighted the ongoing energy crisis. 

Despite short-term interventions, the fundamental challenges in the energy sector persist. 

The ageing coal-powered fleet remains increasingly unreliable, reinforcing the need for a long-term, consumer-driven approach to energy security.

Why Choose Stage Zero

Stage Zero’s innovative model addresses the financial barriers traditionally associated with solar adoption. 

By eliminating upfront costs and long-term contracts, they make solar energy accessible to a wider audience. 

Customers benefit from month-to-month savings that can be tracked in real-time through a personal dashboard, providing complete transparency.

Abraham van der Merwe, CEO of Stage Zero, emphasizes their unique approach: “We built a fully integrated model that removes the typical hurdles associated with solar adoption. By manufacturing our own products, streamlining the installation process, and cutting out middlemen, we’ve drastically reduced costs. This allows us to offer a service where customers save from day one.”

Stage Zero owns the solar equipment and rents it to consumers for a low monthly fee. 

This way, customers enjoy the benefits of solar energy without the stress of managing a long-term investment. 

The transparency of the model ensures that customers know exactly how much they are saving each month, and the month-to-month contract offers flexibility without long-term commitments.

A Sustainable Future

The rising cost of electricity is a pressing issue that Stage Zero aims to address. 

Their model not only provides immediate financial relief but also represents an investment in the future. 

Renewable energy, particularly solar, offers a sustainable and economically stable solution to the ongoing energy crisis.

As electricity costs continue to rise, the long-term benefits of net savings become even more significant. 

Stage Zero’s approach empowers consumers to take control of their energy future, offering savings and security from day one. 

With the risk of load shedding and escalating electricity prices looming, switching to solar energy has never been more critical.
