Enertec Energy Powers Ideation Digital with a Transformative Solar Solution

Addressing Energy Challenges with a Visionary Solution

“When we installed our Enertec solar system in May 2023, we had one goal in mind: reduce our dependency on Eskom and bring down our operating costs,” explains Tamzin, Managing Director of Ideation Digital. “The results? Honestly, they’ve been even better than expected.”

The Enertec system installed at Ideation Digital consists of:

A 12KW 3Phase Sunsync Inverter for efficient energy management.
Three 5.12 GL Series Batteries for reliable energy storage.
24 high-efficiency 395W Solar Panels, ensuring consistent power generation.

This robust configuration has delivered on its promises and exceeded expectations, offering Ideation Digital newfound energy independence and significant cost savings.

A Dramatic Reduction in Operating Costs

Before switching to solar, Ideation Digital faced monthly electricity bills ranging between R8,000 and R12,000, alongside generator fuel expenses of R3,000 to R6,000—and sometimes as high as R10,000 during severe loadshedding periods. The hidden costs didn’t stop there. Frequent power disruptions meant replacing gate motor batteries, alarm system batteries, and other backup systems every three to four months, adding further strain on their budget.

Since adopting Enertec’s solar solution, the savings have been substantial.

Monthly electricity bills now average just R2,800 - a drastic reduction.
Generator fuel costs have dropped significantly, as the need for generator reliance has diminished.

These savings allow Ideation Digital to reinvest in their business, fueling growth while reducing overhead costs.

Long-Term Sustainability and Financial Impact

One of the most compelling aspects of this transformation is the long-term financial benefit.

“At this rate, we’ll pay off the entire system in just three years, while dramatically reducing our monthly overhead,” says Tamzin. “The investment in our solar system isn’t just covering today’s energy savings. It’s allowing us to invest in our future.”

Beyond the financial returns, the shift to solar energy aligns with Ideation Digital’s commitment to sustainability. By reducing their reliance on Eskom and transitioning to a cleaner energy source, the company is contributing to a greener future for South Africa.

Ensuring Business Continuity During Power Disruptions

For a digital marketing agency like Ideation Digital, continuous operations are critical. Power outages not only disrupt productivity but also impact the ability to deliver client projects on time. Thanks to Enertec’s solar solution, the business now operates seamlessly, even during unexpected power disruptions.

“Our energy is cleaner, our business is more efficient, and the savings keep rolling in,” says Tamzin. “With Enertec’s reliable solar solution, we can focus on growing our business without worrying about energy challenges.”
