EPC installation partner
We work as the install team for other EPC companies, so they can focus on design and procurement. Special rates on projects over 1 MWp, or on a planned pipeline of installs per year.

How it works
Sun to socket.
One day of energy on a Modern Eco Energy system. Scroll through it, and pick the building that looks like yours.
- 06:24
First light
Before the kettle's boiled, the panels are awake. The first low sun is already being turned into electricity.
- 09:00
Sun in, DC out
We use high-grade panels made up of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity all day long.
- 11:30
The inverter translates
The inverter converts DC into the AC your building runs on, while the monitoring system tracks every kilowatt and makes sure everything is running smoothly.
- 12:30
Into your DB
AC power goes from the inverter to your distribution board, and on to your lights, fridge, Wi-Fi and geyser. Solar first, the grid only when you need it.
- 15:00
Bank the surplus
Whatever you don't use charges the battery. On a good day it's full by mid-afternoon.
- 18:30
Then the grid goes down
Load shedding, a fault on the line, a winter storm. The system disconnects from the grid and switches to battery automatically.
- 21:00
The lights stay on
The battery carries the load through the inverter, quietly. Usually the only way you'd know is that the street has gone dark.
- 06:24
Tomorrow, the same again
Every system is designed around how you actually use power, and only signed off once you're happy with it.

Our work
Roofs we've turned into power stations.
Shopping centres and factory roofs, packsheds and valley farms, family homes and the odd caravan. A few megawatts every year, all across the Western Cape.
Client names are left off on purpose. Ask us for references in your sector.
The part nobody photographs
"Their work is extremely neat."
Antonio Ferrero, a customer. We hear it a lot, because tidy cable runs, labelled breakers and square trunking are the standard, not an extra.
What goes on your roof
Tier-one brands, nothing we wouldn't put on our own roofs.
Proven panels, inverters and lithium storage, matched to each site rather than to a stock list.

For business, farms & EPCs
Solar that works as hard as your business.
From one shop roof to projects over a megawatt, for owners, farmers and other EPC companies.
Power purchase agreements
On the right site, a PPA lets you pay for the power the system makes rather than for the system. Ask us whether your roof qualifies.
Finance on flexible terms
Finance solutions for businesses, with payment terms built around your cash flow. Watch our two-minute explainer.
Wheeling is live in Cape Town
The City's power-wheeling programme now allows bilateral trade across the grid. If you generate more than you use, ask us what it could mean for your site.
"Within 30 days I approved phase two. The system is outperforming all our expectations. No more outages, no more high Eskom bills and no more diesel and generator costs."
