On-site solar (Generocity)
Funded solar generation on your own roofs and land. No capital outlay. Foundation-1 owns and manages the infrastructure. A guaranteed 30% off your current tariff.
Lumen
On-site solar and wheeling. Combined.
Funded on-site solar plus clean energy wheeled from our 56MW generation site. Qualify once and get both: 30% from solar, 30% from wheeling. 60% guaranteed savings, up to 80%.
The combined model
Generocity plus wheeling, in one migration.
Lumen is two clean-energy layers under one Power Purchase Agreement. On-site solar handles what your premises can generate; wheeled energy delivers the rest through the grid. Together they move the complete operating load, not isolated pieces of it.

Wheeled clean energy
Clean energy generated off-site at our 56MW solar generation site and delivered to your meter through the existing grid. A further guaranteed 30% off your current tariff.
Guaranteed savings
60% guaranteed. Up to 80%.
Generocity contributes a guaranteed 30% and the wheeling facility a further guaranteed 30%, a combined 60% saving on your current tariff from day one. On heavier utility spend, the combined stack scales toward 80%. Foundation-1 is the only company in South Africa delivering on-site solar and wheeled clean energy as one guaranteed migration.

Potential upside
How it fits together
One assessment. The complete stack.
Lumen replaces fragmented proposals for solar, wheeling and tariff optimisation with a single migration. Foundation-1 coordinates qualification, feasibility, supply structure and delivery as one programme.
Qualify once, get both
Operations that qualify for Lumen automatically qualify for on-site Generocity infrastructure. You receive the full combined stack, not isolated pieces of it.
Two layers, one tariff
On-site generation and wheeled supply are combined into a single managed Power Purchase Agreement: one bill, one migration, one commercial path.
Beyond a single system
Reduce reliance on municipal and Eskom supply far beyond what on-site solar alone can cover: a guaranteed 60%, scaling toward 80% on heavier load profiles.
Who it fits
Built for the whole operating profile.
High electricity spend
Built for operations like cold storage, irrigation and processing, where combining on-site and wheeled energy materially reduces monthly operating costs.
Day and night load
Daytime solar carries packlines and pumps; wheeled clean energy carries night cooling and seasonal peaks the roof alone can't reach.
Operational continuity
Designed for operators that need a practical path toward a new and improved tariff, cleaner supply and more resilient energy across the whole operation.
R30M+
Client cases
Four companies, including MVM Enterprises, are projected to save more than R30 million combined over the next ten years by migrating through Lumen’s combined on-site and wheeled energy model.
Eligibility first
Lumen starts with a site and tariff assessment.
Foundation-1 assesses your premises, tariff and load profile to confirm the on-site solar potential and the wheeling structure. The combined model is then sized to your operation and presented as a single guaranteed migration.
