And the timing could not be better.

This May, Sona Solar Zimbabwe is running an exclusive nationwide promotion: massive discounts across all system sizes, from small home setups to full commercial and agricultural systems. That means that today, more than ever, going solar is not just wise, it’s within your reach.

In this comprehensive article, we answer the most frequently asked question about solar costs and help you understand the true value of investing in a solar system from Sona Solar Zimbabwe.

Why People Ask About Solar Pricing - And Why It’s a Good Thing

Choosing a solar system is not like buying a light bulb. It’s an investment in your family’s lifestyle, your business’s productivity, or your farm’s output. So it makes perfect sense that Zimbabweans want to know how much they’ll need to spend, what’s included in that cost, and how long the system will last.

At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we welcome these questions. In fact, we encourage them. We believe that an informed customer is a satisfied customer, and we take pride in offering detailed, honest, and expert consultations, free of charge.

We want our customers to understand:
  • What exactly they’re paying for
  • How the system works
  • How long it will last
  • And most importantly, how they’ll save money by switching to solar

What’s Actually Included in the Cost of a Solar System?

At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we offer complete, ready-to-use solar solutions, not just individual components. That means when you invest in a solar system with us, you’re getting a fully engineered and installed setup that includes:

1. High-Efficiency Solar Panels

We only supply Tier 1 premium solar panels from globally respected brands such as Jinko Solar, JA Solar, and Longi. These panels deliver maximum energy output even in Zimbabwe’s varying weather and come with long-term warranties for peace of mind.

2. Smart Hybrid or Off-Grid Inverters

Your inverter is the brain of your system. That’s why we install robust, high-performance hybrid inverters from Must, and others. These inverters handle grid, solar, and battery switching seamlessly and come with built-in protections against power surges and overloads.

3. Long-Lasting Lithium

We offer lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO4) for their fast charging and long lifespan, as well as cost-effective deep-cycle batteries for smaller budgets. Our batteries are engineered to last 5 to 15 years, depending on the type and usage.

4. Mounting Equipment and Safety Gear

From rooftop rails and brackets to DC breakers, isolators, fuses, surge protectors, and cables - your safety and the system’s durability are guaranteed. Our installations comply with international and local safety standards.

5. Professional System Design and Installation

Our engineers conduct a thorough energy assessment, then design and install the system to match your exact needs, whether you’re in a Harare suburb or a deep rural plot in Matabeleland. Our installations are done by trained and certified professionals who understand solar and Zimbabwean conditions.

6. After-Sales Support and Monitoring

We offer lifetime support, system performance checks, and optional remote monitoring tools to ensure your solar solution performs optimally for years to come.

What Affects the Cost of a Solar System in Zimbabwe?

Many people are surprised to learn that solar is more flexible and customizable than they imagined. With Sona Solar Zimbabwe, you don’t need to break the bank, we’ll build your system based on your power needs and budget.

Here are some key factors that influence the cost:

1. Your Energy Needs

Are you powering lights, fridges, and a router, or welding machines, boreholes, and cold rooms? More demand = bigger system = higher cost. But we help you scale it appropriately.

2. Battery Storage Size

Want to use solar even at night or during cloudy days? You’ll need more battery storage. We’ll help you calculate the ideal size based on usage habits.

3. Type of Components

Lithium batteries cost more than gel but offer better performance. Similarly, a Must inverter may be pricier but will handle high loads more efficiently.

4. Expansion Readiness

If you want a system that allows you to add more panels or batteries in the future, the initial cost might be slightly higher, but you’ll save big when you expand.
