De Ville Centre
South Africa
806kWp

Managing the replacement of an older, failed installation presented structural challenges requiring light reinforcements. We worked closely with building management and stakeholders to ensure the new installation delivers reliable performance throughout its 20-25 year operational lifespan.

Katiyo
Zimbabwe
1200kWp

A ground-mounted solar PV solution on challenging terrain required careful site selection, design and construction planning. MV electrical integration added technical complexity, while the remote location created logistical challenges for material deliveries and labour mobilisation. Despite these constraints, the project was successfully executed through strong coordination and adaptability.

Ruimsig
South Africa
700kWp

The solar PV installation at an operational retail centre was successfully delivered with a strong focus on minimising disruption to tenants throughout construction. Targeted electrical infrastructure upgrades enabled seamless connection and long-term reliability, while an advanced metering and control system provided monitoring and operational control.

The Edge
South Africa
41kWp

Installed on a 30-metre-high building in a very high wind zone, this rooftop system required careful management of uplift forces intensified by a large parapet wall. Restricted access meant all materials were delivered via the service lift and manually lifted to the roof, with close tenant coordination ensuring uninterrupted building operations.

Kelso
Zimbabwe
528kWp

This system was designed for operation on an unreliable grid with frequent extended outages, requiring full integration between the PV plant and on-site diesel generators. The control strategy allowed solar generation to directly offset diesel consumption during grid loss, ensuring stable operation while significantly reducing fuel use.

Kimberley
South Africa
308kWp

This project featured a non-standard standing seam roof profile, requiring careful selection of compatible mounting systems to meet structural and roof warranty requirements. Early technical coordination with suppliers and precise installation sequencing enabled efficient delivery of a high-quality rooftop PV installation.

Shoprite Paarl
South Africa
720kWp

This project delivered a hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS) for a retail centre, integrating BESS to retain full PV capacity while remaining tariff-compliant. The system actively manages load factor, enables peak shaving, and provides backup power to line shops. The project required careful planning, including crane-assisted modular battery installation, detailed structural calculations, and fabrication of a bespoke support frame.
