YSolar helps homeowners understand their energy usage, right-size solar and storage, and stop overpaying on electricity.
Get a free consultationWe install a non-invasive energy monitor on your DB board and collect real usage data over two weeks. No guessing — actual load profiles, peak demand, and daily patterns.
Based on your audit, we recommend the right PV and battery capacity for your home — not the largest system a salesperson can commission.
After installation, we continue to track your system performance and flag anomalies so faults are caught early and your investment keeps paying off.
A compact current-sensor device clips onto your mains cables — no electrician, no rewiring.
Usage is logged around the clock, capturing seasonal variation, overnight baseline, and daytime peaks.
We present a plain-language breakdown of where your money goes and what will actually save it.
We do not sell hardware. Our recommendations are based solely on your data and current market pricing.
YSolar was founded by Jiyaad Anthony, a mechatronics engineer based in Cape Town. His background spans embedded systems, IoT hardware, and energy data pipelines, with practical experience in PV system simulation and financial feasibility studies from his time at the Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies.
The business started from a straightforward observation: homeowners researching solar are almost always advised by the companies that stand to profit from the sale. Those companies have an incentive to recommend larger systems, and rarely account for factors like shading, winter production drop-offs, or how a household's actual load profile compares to their assumptions. The result is installations that underperform relative to what was promised.
YSolar's approach is the inverse: measure first, then advise. We deploy redeployable energy monitors, collect real consumption data, and produce a vendor-neutral feasibility report before any installer quote is discussed. We do not sell hardware or earn commission on installations.
