About

SolarAfrica operates a unique solar energy delivery model for South African businesses that eliminates the on-site installation barrier: rather than building rooftop solar at each customer location, SolarAfrica builds large utility-scale solar facilities and "wheels" the power to commercial and industrial customers through the existing Eskom grid network. This approach means businesses receive solar power and the associated cost savings without capital expenditure or roof space requirements.
