New Planet Solar Energy Solutions
Renewable Energy Solutions for Residential & Business
The only way to future-proof our planet
is to present-proof it.
South Africa has a problem. And we’re fixing it – one home, one business, one community at a time.
Since 2010, New Planet has been on a mission to change the way South Africans think about energy. Not someday. Not eventually. Now. Because the planet can’t wait, and neither can you.
We believe going green shouldn’t feel like a sacrifice. No overwhelm. No impossible price tags. Just simple, smart, affordable solutions that work for your life – and fight for the planet at the same time.
New way. New Planet.
It's time to stand up, not switch off.
We make it easy to act. Our Solar Subscriptions for homes and businesses strip out the upfront cost and the complexity, so the switch to clean energy is something anyone can make. Add fibre and smart home solutions into the mix, and we’re not just changing how South Africa powers its homes – we’re changing how it lives.
A future where technology and nature work together isn’t a dream. It’s a decision. And it starts here.

South African-Born, South African-Built
Rather than a global brand parachuted in, New Planet was founded here in 2010 - built around the specific energy challenges South Africans face, from load shedding to affordability. That local expertise means solutions designed for real local conditions, not adapted from elsewhere.
Subscription-First Simplicity
Most solar companies sell you a system. New Planet sells you a lifestyle shift - through affordable Solar Subscriptions that remove the intimidating upfront cost barrier. This makes going green genuinely accessible.
End-to-End Living, Not Just Panels
New Planet covers solar, fibre and smart home solutions under one roof. Customers aren't stitching together three different providers - they get a single, trusted partner for their entire connected, sustainable home or business.
