Bank-backed solar finance
Solar finance made simple, from R1,711 a month.
Bank-backed finance via FNB & WesBank, arranged directly through the bank's own approval process. Most homeowners find their electricity savings largely offset the monthly payment from day one.

* Figures above assume a 10% deposit and the current prime interest rate. A 0% deposit option is also available, though it changes the monthly amount, so ask us for your exact figure. Because repayments are linked to prime, your actual monthly amount may move if the rate changes, and final offers are subject to credit approval. Real savings depend on your energy use, panel count and roof design. See full package specs on Solar Packages.
Why homeowners finance instead of paying upfront
Bank-backed
Finance is arranged directly through FNB & WesBank, not an in-house scheme. Same approval process as any other bank finance.
Deposit optional
Choose 0% deposit and finance the full system cost, or put down a deposit to lower your monthly repayment. It's entirely your call.
Repayments linked to prime
Your rate tracks the bank's prime interest rate, so your monthly installment can move if prime does. We'll walk you through what that means for your specific quote.
Savings work alongside the payment
On most packages, the electricity you stop buying from Eskom largely offsets the monthly finance payment.

Apply through FNB or WesBank with your chosen deposit, anywhere from 0% to 10%.
Bank approval
The bank assesses your application using its standard affordability checks, the same process as any other bank finance.

What the bank looks at
Solar finance through FNB or WesBank follows the same standard requirements as any other bank finance product: a South African ID, proof of income, and an affordability assessment based on your existing financial commitments. You apply directly with the bank, not through DigiGo. We don't handle or pass on your finance application, and the bank makes the credit decision.
If you're not sure whether finance or a cash purchase makes more sense for your situation, mention it in your quote request and we'll talk you through both options with real numbers for your home.
Solar finance questions
Is this DigiGo's own finance, or a real bank?
It's arranged directly through FNB or WesBank, the same institutions you'd use for any other bank finance. DigiGo isn't the lender and doesn't hold your finance agreement.
Do I need a deposit?
No. Deposit options range from 0% to 10%. A larger deposit lowers your monthly repayment; 0% deposit finances the full system cost.
Will my monthly payment ever change?
Repayments are linked to the bank's prime interest rate, so your installment can move if prime changes. We'll explain what that means in rand terms for your specific quote before you commit.
Will financing actually save me money each month?
On most packages, the electricity you stop buying from Eskom largely offsets the monthly finance payment, though this depends on your usage, panel count and roof design, so we'll show you real numbers before you decide.
