🌍 Powering Africa's renewable energy transition — View our latest projects →

Our Technologies

Delivering proven, bankable renewable energy solutions across solar, storage, wind, and hybrid systems—from 100kW commercial to 100+ MW utility-scale.

Solar PV

Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Solar PV is the cornerstone of South Africa's renewable energy transition. We design, procure, and construct solar installations from 100kW commercial and agricultural systems to 100+ MW utility-scale power plants.

South Africa enjoys exceptional solar irradiance—among the highest in the world at over 2,000 kWh/m² annually. Our engineering team optimizes every aspect of your plant to maximize energy yield and investment returns, whether you're a farm looking to cut electricity costs or an IPP developing a REIPPPP project.

Wind Power

Small-Scale Wind Energy

South Africa's coastal and highland regions offer excellent wind resources. Through our partnership with Airbines, we deliver complete small-scale wind energy solutions for agricultural, mining, remote operations, and telecommunications applications.

Small wind turbines (5-20kW) provide consistent, cost-effective power generation that complements solar PV perfectly—wind often peaks during evening hours and winter months when solar production is lower, creating optimal hybrid configurations for off-grid and remote sites.
