Solar finance alternative

Solar Subscription Options in Cape Town

GJS clients can apply for a solar subscription through a GJS-branded Glint application. It gives homeowners and businesses a way to explore solar without treating the system like a standard once-off purchase.

Service overview

A subscription route for solar planning

Many clients search for solar finance because the upfront cost of a proper inverter, battery and panel system can be significant. The Glint subscription route gives clients another way to explore the project before committing to a purchase.

The application is handled through Glint on a GJS-branded page. GJS still checks the site, loads, DB layout, roof space and compliance requirements before any solar installation is finalised.

This is not conventional bank finance from GJS. Glint provides the subscription application and related terms, while GJS remains focused on the electrical assessment, system design and installation work.

Powered by Glint

Apply through the GJS subscription portal.

The application opens on a GJS-branded Glint page. Review the subscription details, read Glint's FAQs and submit your application directly through the portal.

Apply for subscription

Subscription applications, approvals and terms are handled by Glint. GJS confirms the site and installation requirements before work proceeds.

Practical support

When a subscription may be worth exploring

01

High upfront solar cost

Clients can explore a subscription route before deciding how to proceed with the full solar installation.

02

Monthly budget planning

A subscription can help clients compare a monthly commitment with current electricity spend and long-term planning.

03

Residential solar upgrades

Homes with rising electricity bills can use the application as a starting point before a GJS site assessment.

04

Commercial daytime use

Businesses with steady daytime demand can review subscription options before confirming system size and feasibility.

05

Unclear system size

The subscription route still needs a practical solar design based on loads, roof space, shading and backup priorities.

06

Compliance requirements

DB changes, protection, municipal requirements and electrical documentation must still be checked before installation.

Questions clients ask

Solar Subscription FAQs

How does the GJS solar subscription work?

GJS assesses the property and helps determine a suitable solar solution. The subscription application and agreement are processed through the GJS-branded Glint platform. Once approved and finalised, installation can be scheduled.

Do I own the solar system?

Ownership depends on the subscription agreement. Customers should review the Glint offer and agreement for the exact ownership and buyout terms before signing.

Can I buy the system later?

Glint provides information about system purchase or buyout options, but eligibility, timing and pricing are governed by the customer agreement.

Is the system insured?

Glint's public customer information describes insurance as part of its full-service subscription solution. Exact cover, conditions and exclusions remain subject to the customer's Glint agreement.

Who maintains and monitors the system?

Glint describes monitoring and maintenance as part of its subscription solution. The exact service scope is set out in the customer's agreement.

Can I upgrade my system?

Upgrade options may be available depending on the customer's subscription, site requirements and system design. The application and agreement remain the source of truth.

How long is the agreement?

Do not rely on a general contract term. The period, payment details and any escalation are set out in the personalised Glint offer and customer agreement.

Can I cancel the subscription?

Cancellation terms and any applicable costs are set out in the Glint subscription agreement. GJS does not add cancellation promises on the website.

What happens if I sell my house?

Glint provides options for customers in this situation, but the applicable process depends on the agreement. Contact GJS or Glint before the property transfer process starts.

Can I apply if I am a landlord?

Rental-property eligibility must be confirmed through the application process. The person applying must be able to meet the requirements set out by Glint.

Does the subscription include SSEG approval?

SSEG requirements depend on the property, municipality or utility, and system design. GJS can advise on the applicable compliance and registration requirements separately.

Is everyone automatically approved?

No. Subscription applications are subject to assessment and approval through Glint.
