What energy trading is
LinkSolar buys renewable power from independent producers under its NERSA trading licence and sells it to you under a supply agreement, usually for 10 years with an agreed escalation. You keep your grid connection and your utility account; part of your energy simply comes from a cheaper source.
What wheeling is
Wheeling moves that power from the generator to your site over the existing Eskom or municipal network. The utility bills you for the use of its wires and credits the energy delivered; LinkSolar handles the metering, the reconciliation and the paperwork.
When it pays
Wheeling works where the saving on the energy portion of your bill is larger than the network charges and losses. In practice that means a connection of about 100 kVA or more and roughly 500 MWh a year, on a time-of-use tariff with Eskom or a metro that has a published wheeling framework. The Energy Assessment tells you where your site stands.
What information is needed
recent electricity bills and tariff information; monthly electricity spend; site location and connection details; operational hours; resilience or uptime priorities; commercial objectives.
How it fits with solar and storage
Most sites use both: on-site solar for the daytime load, wheeled power for the hours the roof cannot cover, and storage where the evening peak is expensive. The Full Assessment prices each route against your bills and shows the combination that pays back fastest.
