Cape Town · Western Cape

Power that stays on.Power that shares.

Solar and battery systems for homes and businesses across the Western Cape, installed by a social enterprise. Every system here helps fund energy where there is none.

What we do

Designed for your roof,
not for a catalogue.

Whether you want independence from load shedding or lower operating costs, we design the system around your building, your usage and your budget. Turnkey, from assessment to compliance certificate.

Your roof in 3D

Which way
does your roof face?

Here in the southern hemisphere the sun sits in the northern sky. A roof facing north at roughly thirty degrees catches the most of it. Turn the model below and tilt the roof, and watch the light change.

Sun exposureIdeal

A north-facing roof at around thirty degrees catches the most sun in the Western Cape.

An illustration of orientation only, not a performance calculation. Shading, roof size and your usage matter just as much, which is exactly what our free roof inspection looks at.

How it works

Four steps.
You are not the next job.

This is what a personalised approach actually means: we take the time to understand your situation before we propose anything.

Step 01

Free roof check

We assess feasibility using your own data, with a personalised load profile and an initial PV model. If solar is not cost-effective for you, we say so.

Step 02

We come by

We inspect the roof and your electrical setup, discuss usage and load management, and hand you a tailored proposal with costs and returns at your own table.

Step 03

Preparation

Once you accept, we start the SSEG application, handle the permits and get everything ready. You can leave that side to us.

Step 04

Installation

Installation, testing and commissioning. Our licensed electrician issues the Certificate of Compliance when everything checks out.

The power of sharing

One company.
Two Sams.

SamSam is a social enterprise. One Sam aims for a healthy, profitable company with professional service. The other Sam works on stewardship: sharing knowledge and investing in sustainable projects. The dream is a stable power supply across the whole continent.

The first Sam

What you get

A system designed around your building, installed by our own team in Cape Town, with a compliance certificate at the end and people you can still reach afterwards.

The second Sam

What it funds

Projects that reduce energy poverty across Africa, such as the installations in Kajiado County, Kenya. The company started in the Netherlands and has been investing beyond its own borders ever since.
