Company boilerplate

FlowLeads is a South African solar lead-generation platform that helps homeowners get a personalised solar quote in 60–90 seconds. The platform combines PVGIS v5.2 satellite irradiance data with live municipal tariff schedules to estimate annual savings and payback by suburb, then matches qualified homeowners with SAPVIA-registered installers. Founded in 2026 by Pieter Muller and based in Durban, FlowLeads is free for homeowners and earns referral fees from installers — disclosed transparently on every page.

Founder & spokesperson

Pieter Muller
Founder, FlowLeads

Pieter Muller is the founder of FlowLeads, a Durban-based solar lead-generation platform for South Africa. A software engineer by background, he built FlowLeads to give SA homeowners honest, data-backed solar guidance — combining PVGIS satellite irradiance with live municipal tariff data, and matching qualified leads with SAPVIA-registered installers.

Story angles & talking points

Ready-to-quote stats and angles. Numbers refresh on a 24-hour cadence — for the latest, hit hello@flowleads.co.za.

Cape Town residential solar payback is roughly 4 years — Polokwane is closer to 7

FlowLeads ranks all 50 SA cities by payback period using PVGIS v5.2 satellite irradiance and live municipal tariffs. Tariff matters more than sun — Cape Town has the highest residential tariff in SA, and that drags payback below most northern cities.

A 5 kW solar system in 2026 SA averages ≈ R87,500 installed

Mid-market price excluding battery, derived from FlowLeads' tracked installer benchmarks. With a 5 kWh LiFePO4 battery the same system runs R130k–R140k.

City tariff matters more than sunshine

FlowLeads' city-by-city payback data shows Western Cape and Gauteng consistently outperform sunnier northern provinces on solar ROI — because residential tariffs in CoCT and City Power are 10–20% higher. Worth pointing out when readers assume Northern Cape is the best place to install.
