“ One farmer in the Northern Cape saw their entire system submerged during floods,” Flamand recalls.“ Because they were on our PLIS model, our team restored the system within two weeks- and the farm didn’ t incur repair bills, suffer from extended downtime, or have any uncertainty about the way forward.”
For those who already self-fund or use bank finance, Solar Max offers performance management without financing- Candi takes full responsibility for system optimisation and reliability.
3. Underperforming Solar Assets
Farmers who already have solar installations often face reduced returns due to poor installation, inadequate mo-nitoring, or a lack of maintenance. Solar Protect + tackles this by combining performance protection with proactive asset management. Farmers are compensated for every lost kilowatt-hour if a system underperforms, while Candi handles all maintenance, optimisation, and warranties.
This ensures systems continue to generate the expected savings year after year, without farmers needing to chase contractors or manage technical issues. Whether it’ s a new installation or an existing system underperforming, Candi’ s model keeps operations stable, performance guaranteed, and revenue predictable.
“ With Swiss engineering roots and strong local expertise, Candi Solar applies international standards with South African know-how,” Flamand concludes.“ Our flexible, risk-free models give farmers long-term value, stability, and peace of mind- because no two farms are the same, and no farmer should carry the risk alone.”
