SOLAR RENTING (PTY) LTD

WHY SHOULD A CUSTOMER BUY SOLAR, IF HE CAN RENT?

THEY CAN RATHER USE THEIR MONEY TO MAKE MONEY!

WHY SOLAR ELECTRICITY?

• FOR MANY, MANY YEARS WE HAD CHEAP, RELIABLE ELECTRICITY FROM ESKOM, THAT MADE SOLAR ELECTRICITY NOT A VIABLE OPTION.

• HOWEVER, THE LAST FEW YEARS WE ARE CONFRONTED WITH LOAD SHEDDING & PRICE HIKES EVERY YEAR, FAR ABOVE INFLATION RATE.

• AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, SOLAR ELECTRICITY BECAME MORE RELIABLE, AS WELL AS CHEAPER.

• IT HAS JUST REACHED THE POINT WHERE SOLAR & GENERATED ELECTRICITY IS COSTING THE SAME, WITH THE PROMISE IN SOLAR DEVELOPMENTS TO BECOME EVEN MORE CHEAPER IN FUTURE.

• BUT, WITH GENERATED ELECTRICITY THERE IS JUST NO CHANCE OF BECOMING CHEAPER, WITH MORE PRICE HIKES ALREADY ALLOWED BY NERSA FOR ESKOM FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN SOLAR

• DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS IN GENERATING OF SOLAR ELECTRICITY MADE IT NOW POSSIBLE TO ERECT ANY SIZE OF SOLAR PLANT.

• WITH THAT, DEVELOPMENTS IN BATTERY STORAGE ALSO MADE IT NOW POSSIBLE TO STORE THIS GENERATED ENERGY ECONOMICALLY.

• DEVELOPMENTS IN INVERTER TECHNOLOGY MADE IT POSSIBLE TO PUT ELECTRICITY BACK INTO THE GRID, CHARGE THE BATTERIES, AND CAN NOW ALSO BE MONITORED & TURNED OFF OVER THE INTERNET. THIS FEATURE IS FURTHER SECURITY FOR FINANCIERS, BECAUSE IF A BUSINESS DOES NOT PAY, HIS ELECTRICITY CAN JUST BE TURNED OFF!

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOLAR SYSTEMS

BASICALLY 3 SYSTEMS:1) STAND ALONE: COMPLETE

WITH SOLAR PANELS, BATTERIES & INVERTER(S)

2) UPS SYSTEMS: ONLY BATTERIES & INVERTER(S): WITHOUT PANELS. CHARGES FROM THE ESKOM GRID, & SUPPLIES POWER FOR MANY HOURS.

3) SOLAR PANELS WITH INVERTER(S), WITHOUT BATTERIES: DESIGNED WHERE THE CUSTOMER CAN FEED POWER INTO THE GRID, FOR LATER USE.

SYSTEM SIZES

SOLAR RENTING

• SOLAR MARKET RESEARCH THAT SOLAR RENTING (Pty) Ltd HAVE DONE, POINTED OUT THAT ONLY PEOPLE & BUSINESSES THAT CAN RAISE THEIR OWN FINANCE, IS INVESTING IN SOLAR ELECTRICITY AT PRESENT.

• THIS ALLOWS CORPORATE FINANCE & PRIVATE INVESTORS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET INTO THIS GREAT MARKET TO BECOME FINANCIERS OF SOLAR RENTING, NOT ONLY FOR FARMERS, BUT ALSO PRIVATE HOME OWNERS, BUSINESSES & EVEN INDUSTRIES.

• THIS WILL BASICALLY MEAN THAT THE FARMER OR BUSINESS WILL BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE MONEY THAT THEY WOULD SPEND ON SOLAR, TO MAKE MONEY WITH.

• RENTING A SOLAR SYSTEM MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE FOR BUSINESSES BECAUSE THEY CAN DEDUCT EVERY SENT FROM INCOME TAX!

• HOWEVER, A SYSTEM CAN BE PAID CASH AT ANY TIME OF THE RENTAL PERIOD, WITH A 4% DEPRECIATION EVERY YEAR.

FINANCIAL TRUTHS

• IF A FARMER TAKES R200,000, OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT, AND INVEST IT IN CATTLE, HE CAN TURN HIS MONEY AFTER 2 YEARS, AND THEREAFTER EVERY YEAR!

• IF THE SAME FARMER TAKES THE SAME AMOUNT & INVEST IT IN SHEEP, HE CAN TURN HIS MONEY 3 TIMES IN 24 MONTHS!

• TAKE THE SAME MONEY, AND BUY BROILER CHICKENS, AND YOU CAN TURN YOUR MONEY AFTER 6 WEEKS, AND THEREAFTER EVERY WEEK!!!

• IN IRRIGATION YOU CAN TURN YOUR MONEY TWICE A YEAR IN MANY AREAS!

• IF THE ABOVE IS TRUE, A FARMER, BUSINESS MAN, OR INDUSTRY OWNER WOULD NOT MAKE SUCH A GOOD INVESTMENT TO INVEST HIS MONEY IN SOLAR, WHERE RENTING WOULD PROVIDE A WAY TO MAKE HIS PRESENT FINANCES MORE PRODUCTIVE OVER THE OPTION OF BUYING, WHERE RENTING BECOMES THE OPTION.

• THIS IS EXACTLY THE REASON WHY CORPORATE BUSINESS, LIKE THE SHOPRITES, PICK ’N PAY’S, PEP STORES, ETC, RATHER RENT THEIR PROPERTIES, BECAUSE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, ALTHOUGH A GOOD INVESTMENT, IS NOT THEIR BUSINESS, AND MAKES THEIR BALANCE SHEET LOOKS BETTER WITHOUT IT.

• BY RENTING A SOLAR SYSTEM, A BUSINESS CAN DEDUCT EVERY SENT FROM INCOME TAX, MEANING THE TAX MAN IS PAYING FOR THE SYSTEM!

THE INVESTOR: THE ROLE OF SOLAR RENTING

(PTY) LTD.

• BY MAKING IT A PROFITABLE, GOOD & SECURE INVESTMENT FOR PRIVATE & CORPORATE FINANCIERS, SOLAR RENTING (Pty) Ltd CAN FORM THE BACKBONE OF THE RENTING TRANSACTION, BY:

• 1) PROVIDING FOR INFLATION, BY INCREASING THE RENT EVERY YEAR WITH THE CPI INFLATION INDEX, THEREFORE INCREASING THE INVESTOR’S MONTHLY INTEREST EVERY YEAR, MAKING IT A UNIQUE INVESTMENT!

• 2) ENTERING IN STANDARD CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE END USER & SOLAR RENTING.

• 3) HELPING TO SELL THE CONCEPT, WITH ADVERTISING & MARKETING.

• 4) DOING A GOOD INSTALLATION, MATCHING OR SURPASSING INDUSTRY STANDARDS, MAKING USE OF QUALIFIED, AND FURTHER TRAINED, ELECTRICIANS, THEREFORE KEEPING CUSTOMERS SATISFIED.

• 5) GIVING RELIABLE AFTER SALES SERVICE, BY MONITORING EACH SYSTEM, NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMER IMMEDIATELY OF ANY PROBLEMS.

• 6) DOING FOLLOW-UP REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE WORK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MARKETING TOOLS FOR MARKETERS

• TO MAKE IT EASY FOR MARKETERS TO SELL SOLAR SYSTEMS, I HAVE DESIGNED THE SYSTEMS TO BE 1 & 2 KW FOR THE SMALL SYSTEMS.

• THEREAFTER ALL SYSTEMS WORK ON A 4 KW BASIS: YOU JUST ADD-ON EVERY TIME, EVEN FOR 3 PHASE! THIS CAN BE INCREASED UP TO 72 KW, BEFORE WE NEED TO GO TO OTHER TECHNOLOGY & SYSTEMS.

• I HAVE ALSO DESIGNED A SOLAR WATT-CALCULATOR, TO SEE HOW BIG A SYSTEM MUST BE.

• WITH THAT I HAVE ALSO GOT A “SYSTEM COST & MONTHLY RENT” CALCULATOR, TO WORK OUT HOW MUCH A CLIENT WILL HAVE TO PAY MONTHLY.

• I WILL ALSO HAVE FREE DVD’S & PAMPHLETS FOR CUSTOMERS.

• EXPERIENCED MARKETERS, LIKE ESTATE AGENTS, CAN APPLY TO SELL SYSTEMS.

• COMMISSION: A COMMISSION OF 2.5% OF SYSTEM COST IS PAID AFTER THE INSTALLATION IS SIGNED OFF BY THE CLIENT, THEREAFTER THE AGENT GETS A MONTHLY COMMISSION OF 5% OF THE MONTHLY RENTAL.

• AN AGENT CAN THEREFORE BUILD UP A VERY GOOD MONTHLY INCOME OVER TIME.

INSTALLATION TEAMS• THIS WILL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS TO EARN A

GOOD SECOND INCOME BY INSTALLING SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS.

ALL TEAMS WILL BE ISSUED WITH:

* 1) 3 X FLUKE METERS: a) Volt Meter, b) Clamp Amp Meter, c) Earth Resistance.

* 2) Hydraulic Crane on wheels.

* 3) 4T Double Ratchet Puller.

* 4) ENOUGH TRAINING IN SOLAR & DC POWER TO DO AN INSTALLATION TO

INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

* An Installation Fee Of 10% Of The System Cost Will Be Paid.

* BECAUSE THESE INSTALLERS ALSO HAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO SELL MORE SYSTEMS, THEY CAN EARN A FURTHER INCOME WITH SALES @ 2.5% OF TOTAL VALUE OF INSTALLATION, PLUS 5% OF THE MONTHLY RENTAL, PAID OUT EVERY MONTH.
