Our company Solek,
was founded in 1988 and has a proven track record of experience
and professional service in South Africa. The company has
crossed borders and now extends into Africa. Two decades of
practical experience, collaboration with local importers and
exporters, and internal knowledge defines our capacity. Research
and innovation is the heartbeat of the company.
Partnering and long term relations are the business approach we
value. Ongoing partnerships with well-established solar
companies provide added resources which the company can tap
into. Broad expertise and man-power are available if needed. The
aim is to support and collaborate rather than compete.
The heart of the company beats with many years experience. The
CEO and founder has served boards of various companies and
organisations. Engineering knowledge including master-degrees
and related qualifications extend management arms. Industrial
engineering boosts efficient operations, help manage larger
projects and deal with sourcing and supply issues. Not to
mention our sought after technical and electrical know-how.
Solek focus on long term customer value. Only quality products
are supplied backed by major suppliers for support and
warranties, locally and abroad. This provides a knowledge base
and strong competitive advantage which differentiates Solek from
other solar companies. Products supplied by Solek have proven to
last 15 years and more, thus enduring harsh African conditions.
Owing to our experience, the company engages in risk assessment,
quality assurance and project due diligences. Typically, tenders
can be evaluated to ensure the right products are supplied,
system design is correct and margins acceptable based on
industry models. The company has excessive experience in hybrid
and off-grid systems design, providing optimal performance at
minimal cost to our clients.
The company has a track record of innovative ideas. An
entrepreneurial spirit boosts performance to deliver inventions
and solutions beyond expectations. Research and development
reinforce our long term focus and Solek collaborates with
Stellenbosch University as well as Cape Peninsula University of
Technology. Products have been patented and released to the
market.
In addition to consulting and technology supply, value added
services are provided such as project management, installation
and post-installation services. A lifecycle approach ensures
longevity in the solutions we implement and a single
sub-contractor to outsource various functions to.
As part of our business model we believe industry has to touch
lives. The vision of the company ensures that resources are
committed beyond monetary value to affect society. Projects have
been initiated to serve the less privileged through inventive
ways and thousands have been influenced already. The company
dedicates its knowledge and expertise to effectively reach this
goal.
