Feasibility Studies
Solar Feasibility Studies for Commercial & Industrial Projects in South Africa
Before you invest in solar, you need an objective answer to one question: is this project actually worth it? SOLINK's solar feasibility study gives you that answer — independently, without any installer bias.
Why it matters
Why a feasibility study is non-negotiable
Most solar projects that underperform or overspend were never properly assessed before procurement began. A rigorous feasibility study identifies the risks, models the real returns, and ensures the system you procure is sized correctly for your site and energy profile — not just what a supplier wants to sell you.
What's included
Every variable that affects viability
Site & Energy Assessment
We analyse your energy consumption profile, NMD, tariff structure and site constraints — identifying the optimal system size and technology mix for your specific situation.
Solar Yield Modelling
Using industry-standard modelling tools, we calculate your expected annual energy generation, performance ratio and system efficiency — giving you realistic, independently validated output projections.
Financial Modelling & ROI
Full financial case — all-in project cost, annual savings, payback period, IRR and NPV. We also compare funding options: self-funded, lease agreement and solar PPA structures.
Risk & Permitting Review
We identify and document technical, regulatory and financial risks before they become costly problems — including embedded generation licensing and municipal grid requirements.
Independence matters
Why an independent feasibility study matters
When a solar installer conducts a feasibility study, they have a financial interest in the outcome. SOLINK has none. Our feasibility studies are prepared by independent engineers with no commercial relationship to any installer or equipment supplier — which means the numbers you receive are accurate, not optimistic.
