The Partnership
Why you'll see Stage Zero
To build Prepaid24 Energy, we went looking for the best solar and backup power partner in the country. We found exactly that in Stage Zero.
They specialise in making solar accessible to South African homes and businesses, with zero upfront installation costs, free ongoing maintenance, and dedicated support.
Stage Zero didn't make our shortlist by chance. We vetted them, and every installer they work with, against strict criteria: accredited systems, proven installation experience, and a Certificate of Compliance on every job. It's the same standard we hold ourselves to, so you can trust the people on your roof as much as you trust us.
As you move through the Prepaid24 Energy Electricity Optimiser, you'll see Stage Zero mentioned. That's intentional. They're our delivery partner, and together we've built a solution we’re proud to stand behind.

Why renting just makes sense
There are typically three ways to get solar: buy it outright, finance it to own later, or rent it on a “subscription” basis. Buying gives you the asset but means paying in full upfront and covering every repair yourself. Rent-to-own lowers that entry cost but still asks for a deposit and ties you into a fixed term, with maintenance usually on you. Both of these options also make it difficult to upgrade your system’s technology.
Renting removes all of that: zero capital, full maintenance included, and a subscription that flexes as your needs change. For most homes and businesses, that's the option with the least risk and the earliest saving, which is why this is the model we lead with.
