About Us

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.
