By integrating your solar panels and battery storage with smart home technology, you transform a collection of hardware into a dynamic energy management system that offers unparalleled control, efficiency, and convenience.

Solar carports and pergolas are transforming these areas from simple amenities into multi-functional, power-generating assets.

For years in Zimbabwe, the decision to install solar panels was driven by one urgent, practical concern: achieving energy independence.

Net‑metering is a billing system that lets solar owners “spin their meter backwards” when they export power to the grid, earning credits...

Battery storage in Zimbabwe is key to getting power at night and during blackouts – but many misconceptions are floating around. Let’s bust a few myths and look at the real picture

While rooftop panels are growing fast, new solar technologies could also make a big impact in Zimbabwe

Solar power is transforming education in Zimbabwe’s countryside. Without reliable grid electricity, many rural schools struggled to power lights, computers or even water pumps. Now, several major projects are changing that.

n Zimbabwe, solar energy is overseen by ZERA (the Energy Regulator). As i write, new regulations are coming to raise quality standards. Draft rules will require that all imported solar products conform to Zimbabwean and IEC standards. This means panels, inverters and batteries must carry proper certifications (like IEC 61215, IEC 62109, etc.) and ZWS (Zimbabwe Standards) approvals.

The big question for many is: “How long until my solar investment pays off?” The answer depends on system cost, electricity tariffs, and your usage. In Zimbabwe, residential electricity is sold in tiers. For example, using above ~300 kWh/month, ZESA charges around Z$7.12–7.40 per kWh (about USD $0.25–0.26). That’s relatively high, so solar can save a lot.

For businesses, solar isn’t just about reducing electric bills—it’s about ensuring uninterrupted operations, protecting equipment, and futureproofing against rising energy costs. But undersized or poorly designed systems can lead to downtime, damaged machinery, and wasted capital.

Solar energy systems are a long-term investment, and with proper care, they can power your home or business reliably for decades. While solar panels are famously low maintenance, a little attention goes a long way in maximizing efficiency and lifespan. Here’s your guide to keeping your system running smoothly for 20+ years.

In Zimbabwe’s energy crisis, solar isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a necessity. But a poorly sized system can leave you stranded with dead batteries, tripped inverters, and wasted savings. At Frontier Solar, we’ve fixed hundreds of undersized setups sold by the “cheaper guys.” This guide will arm you with the knowledge to avoid their traps and invest in solar that works—rain, shine, or load-shedding.

At Frontier Solar, we believe in transparency and empowering you to make informed decisions about solar energy. Whether you’re ready to invest or just exploring options, we’ve structured our services to fit your needs—no strings attached.
