In a compelling new investment webinar hosted by Alec Hogg, Jaltech partner Jonty Sacks and Weetility CEO Vincent Maposa unveiled a unique opportunity for South African taxpayers to earn consistent yields, benefit from a substantial tax break – and help fund the country’s solar revolution.
The pitch is as clear as a sunlit rooftop: investors with taxable income above R500,000 can access a massive 235% tax deduction through a Section 12B-compliant partnership structure with Jaltech. In practice, a R1 million investment can yield a R1.06 million tax saving, essentially returning the investor’s capital in year one, while still generating income over a 10-year period.
At the heart of the opportunity is Wetility, a fast-growing solar subscription business that has already deployed thousands of solar systems across South Africa. Its flagship “Beast Bundle” includes solar panels, batteries, smart meters, and even an air fryer – bundled with an AI-powered billing system that cuts electricity bills by up to 90%. Jaltech has backed the company for years and views its scalable, tech-driven model as “the Netflix of solar” – a diversified, subscription-based revenue stream with low default rates and high customer satisfaction.
Crucially, the investment is de-risked through:
Jaltech’s proven track record (R850 million already deployed across 250+ sites).
Third-party debt funding that allows investors to claim on both equity and debt portions.
And Wetility’s commitment to match investor capital by 17.6% – with their capital being first at risk in case of loss.
While not suitable for everyone, Sacks is clear: “If you’re in a high tax bracket and want consistent cash flows, this is one of the lowest-risk Section 12B investments out there.”
Minimum investment: R500,000. Returns: 17%+ yield over 10 years, with the upside of tax savings up front. Deployment pipeline: solid. Appetite for solar: growing, even in an era of reduced load shedding.
It’s not just about returns. As Hogg noted, “More electricity equals more productivity. This isn’t only good business – it’s good for South Africa.”
