South Africa’s Solar Boom: What It Means for You and How to Earn More with Crunch Carbon
South Africa’s solar industry is buzzing with energy—literally and figuratively. Thanks to increasing demand for renewable power, the market has become a fertile ground for growth and innovation. Jaltech’s 2024 Solar Industry Survey has shone a light on what’s happening behind the scenes, giving us a better understanding of where the industry is headed.
At Crunch Carbon, we believe these insights don’t just inform—they inspire action. Whether you’re a solar installer, an EPC, or a system owner, there’s an incredible opportunity to turn your commitment to renewable energy into real financial rewards.
Let’s break it down and show you how Crunch Carbon can help you make the most of this booming market.
The Solar Gold Rush is Here
According to Jaltech’s survey, over 70% of South African solar companies are working across multiple sectors, focusing primarily on Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Residential projects. This shows that businesses and homeowners alike are taking the plunge into solar energy.
But here’s the catch: despite growing interest, many businesses miss out on one of the most lucrative benefits of going green—carbon credits.
At Crunch Carbon, we make it easy for businesses and homeowners to turn their solar installations into money-saving, planet-saving assets. Every kilowatt of clean energy you generate means fewer emissions—and that means carbon credits. With our platform, you can cash in on these credits while making a positive environmental impact.
A Thriving Market with New Players
The survey found that 41% of solar companies have been in operation for five years or less. This tells us that South Africa’s solar industry isn’t just growing—it’s thriving with fresh energy and innovation.
For newer companies, standing out can be tough. Offering something unique to clients, like a carbon credit reward system, can make all the difference.
Crunch Carbon partners with solar installers and EPCs to give your clients an added financial incentive. By working with us, you can offer them a platform to earn rewards through their solar systems. This isn’t just about standing out—it’s about delivering more value to your customers.
Big Potential for Small Installations
Here’s a fascinating insight: most solar installations in 2023 were under 1MW. Small- to medium-sized projects are driving the market, making up the majority of activity.
And while these projects may seem modest, they pack a powerful punch when it comes to reducing carbon emissions. That’s where we come in.
Crunch Carbon aggregates carbon credits from smaller projects, turning them into valuable assets. Whether you’re an individual homeowner with a rooftop installation or a small business with a solar setup, you can earn financial rewards for your contribution to cleaner air and a greener planet.
A Smooth Path to Rewards
One of the standout findings from the survey is that funding isn’t a major obstacle for most projects—only 18% of deals fall through due to financial issues. This means the road to solar is open for many South Africans.
But what if there was a way to make that road even more profitable?

Local Heroes, Nationwide Impact
The survey revealed that Gauteng and the Western Cape are leading the way in solar activity, but 59% of companies operate across multiple provinces. This shows that solar energy is no longer just for urban centers—it’s becoming a nationwide movement.
