Independent Power.
Secure Water.
We design and install integrated solar power and water security systems that protect your property from load shedding, water shortages, and rising utility costs.
South African homes need real independence.
Load shedding, water restrictions, and rising utility costs are now part of everyday life. Solarain simplifies energy and water security with fully integrated solar, storage, filtration, and backup systems — all designed, installed, and supported by one specialist team.
Rainwater Harvesting Systems
We design and install complete rainwater harvesting systems that collect, store, and supply reliable water for homes and farms across South Africa.
Water Purification & Filtration Systems
We install water purification and filtration systems that provide clean, safe water from rainwater, boreholes, and municipal supplies.
Solar Water Pumping Systems
We design solar-powered water pumping systems that deliver reliable water pressure and supply without relying on the grid.
Water Storage & Backup Systems
We install correctly sized water storage and backup systems that keep water available when supply interruptions occur.
Off-Grid Water Systems for Total Independence
Our off-grid water systems combine rainwater harvesting, solar water pumping, water purification, and storage into one seamless solution — built specifically for South African conditions. Our off-grid water system designs are perfect for:
Residential homes
Residential homes seeking full water independence
Farms
Farms and smallholdings needing reliable farm water systems
Guesthouses
Guesthouses and Airbnbs requiring uninterrupted supply
Off-grid
Remote and eco properties off the municipal grid
How it works
1
Site Assessment
As your local water system installer, we evaluate your property, water demand, roof catchment area, and existing infrastructure — including borehole and municipal backup options.
2
System Design
We design a custom rainwater harvesting system combining rainwater collection, water storage tanks, home water filters, and solar water systems tailored to your property and budget.
3
Installation
Professional rainwater installation and water system installation — tanks, solar water pumps, filters, pipework, and all components — fully managed from start to finish. We handle complete rainwater tank installation and system commissioning.
4
Support & Maintenance
Ongoing servicing, water filter replacement service, and system optimisation to keep your water security system running reliably long term.

“
For more than 8 years, my family and I have lived completely off-grid on our farm in Keurbooms, Plettenberg Bay, powered entirely by solar energy and harvested rainwater — with no Eskom and no municipal water.
During that time, we have built and connected four homes to a single off-grid system. Three of these homes are very busy Airbnb rentals, providing ongoing real-world testing of the system under varying occupancy and demand.
Living this way every day has given me firsthand insight into what truly works. The solar and water solutions I recommend are based on years of practical experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to achieve reliable, long-term independence.
