Nova Metrics
Solar Intelligence
Nova Metrics handles the work that slows installers down: system design, proposals, installation tracking, and customer handover. No spreadsheets. No dropped jobs.
From system design to signed handover — watch how Nova Metrics Solar Intelligence runs the whole job, in under two minutes.
Get an instant estimate for your home or business. Enter your usage below and we'll calculate a recommended system — then connect you with a certified installer in your area.
Every number in a Nova Metrics design comes from a calculation, not a rule of thumb. The sizing methodology follows NRS 097-2-1 and NERSA SSEG guidance for residential and small commercial installations, NERSA SSEG Categories A, B, and C, from the ground up.
Solar is sized to cover daytime consumption plus overnight battery recharge, matched to the best available panel configuration from your live hardware catalogue rather than a generic estimate.
Three checks run before a battery configuration is accepted: capacity headroom, depth-of-discharge, and guaranteed autonomy runtime, using real per-battery efficiency values to protect LiFePO4 cycle life.
Inverters are sized with a safety margin over peak load. DC/AC ratio is validated against NRS 097-2-1, and every catalogue inverter is cross-referenced against the South African Master Inverter Compliance Register.
2,440+ certified models on recordAnnual production applies performance ratios, availability factors, and degradation assumptions aligned with South African norms, using location-specific irradiance data from 152 SA locations.
25-year projections apply NERSA-aligned tariff escalation, NPV and IRR modelling, maintenance provisions, and battery replacement costs. Every figure is marked clearly as an indicative estimate.
Once a proposal is sent, the platform tracks opens, views, downloads, and read time, and surfaces a follow-up signal (hot, warm, cold) so you know who to call and when.
NRS 097-2-1 is part of the calculation model itself, not a checkbox added afterwards. Inverter ratios, battery DoD limits, and grid connection guidance shape the sizing logic from the start.
The engineering runs before the writing. Every proposal narrative is built around numbers that have already passed validation, not a language model guessing at a plausible-sounding system.
Your hardware, your branding, your margins. Nova Metrics runs the calculation and produces the paperwork. You handle the client relationship and the install.
A guided workflow that takes under five minutes per client, start to finish.
Because it did. System size, financials, components, and yield are calculated first. The narrative is written around those verified numbers, in sections any client can follow.
Once a proposal is accepted, the job moves automatically into a structured installation workspace: site visit through customer sign-off, tracked at every step.
Each stage unlocks once the previous one is complete, which gives every job a clean audit trail from site assessment to sign-off.
It happens. The roof orientation is wrong, the DB board needs upgrading, the cable run is longer than assumed. When a site visit flags a change, Nova Metrics generates a revised proposal, calculates the exact delta, and holds the job until the client decides.
Monthly or annual billing, in Rand. No hidden fees, no per-proposal charges. Save 10% when you pay annually.
Payments processed by PayFast in ZAR. No cross-border fees. Monthly plans cancel any time. Annual plans are billed upfront for 12 months.

Financial projections. All financial outputs, including estimated savings, payback periods, NPV, and IRR figures, are indicative projections based on user inputs, modelled tariff escalation, and industry-standard assumptions. Actual results vary with site conditions, consumption, tariff changes, and financing structure. These outputs are not financial advice. Seek independent advice before any investment decision.
Standards alignment. Nova Metrics designs systems in alignment with NRS 097-2-1 and NERSA SSEG guidelines as understood at the time of development, and references the South African Master Inverter Compliance Register for informational purposes. Nova Metrics does not certify regulatory compliance on behalf of any installer, client, or installation. Confirming compliance with all applicable standards remains the installer's responsibility.
Installation documentation. Handover certificates, COC records, and activity logs are operational tools for installers. They do not replace legally required documentation, licensed electrician sign-off, or municipal or utility approval.
Data and privacy. Proposal engagement tracking is subject to POPIA (Act No. 4 of 2013) and requires appropriate user consent. Installers are responsible for their own compliance with applicable data privacy obligations.
No liability. Nova Metrics is not liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from reliance on platform outputs, financial projections, or documentation without independent professional verification.
