On-demand: Solar funding for dummies – Approaches and speedy options

This webinar brings together two leaders in the space: Jonty Sacks from Jaltech, a specialist in structuring and financing solar projects, and Theo Janse van Nieuwenhuizen from AFGRI, a major agricultural services company rapidly embracing solar adoption. Together, they will explore the simplest and most effective approaches to securing solar funding and examine how agriculture is leading the way in integrating solar into core operations.

Tuesday 28 October, 12pm SA Time

Join us to understand how innovative funding models are reshaping the economics of solar projects, why over 250 businesses have already benefitted from Jaltech’s approach, and what opportunities lie ahead for industries looking to secure tariffs 30–50% lower than Eskom.

Session overview

As commercial and industrial businesses look to reduce energy costs and secure reliable supply, solar funding has become one of the most effective entry points into the energy transition. By removing the burden of upfront capital, funding models are enabling rapid adoption of solar across key sectors, with agriculture leading the way.

Together Sacks and Janse van Nieuwenhuizen will unpack how innovative financing structures are reshaping the economics of solar projects, the business case for adoption in agriculture, and what it takes for organisations to achieve long-term cost savings — with tariffs up to 30–50% lower than Eskom.

• Practical funding approaches that make solar accessible
• Case study: agriculture’s role in driving solar adoption
• Cost competitiveness and achieving lower tariffs than Eskom
