We offer a complete turnkey solar farm solution to for large scale renewable energy roll out by governments or medium size customised energy needs for production purposes. While we are based in South Africa, we develop projects in all major African countries including remote areas offering full integration to existing grid or plant.

Traditionally, in Africa, solar farm development and construction has been carried out by foreign owned companies who are incentivised by their relevant governments. Foreign labour and components are used with the profits been repatriated to their respective countries. We strive for majority local shareholding in our projects, inviting institutions like state run pension funds to be equity partners.

Our business model encourages local ownership right through the component value chain, ensuring that profits are ploughed back into the local economy. Specifically our business contract includes the following:

  • Registration as an Independent Power Producer in with the associated regulator.
  • Land identification and lease securement.
