At Solareff, we believe in more than powering a brighter future - we believe in making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

This Slipper Day, our team proudly swapped out work shoes for slippers to support the incredible work of The Reach For A Dream Foundation. Every pair worn is a step toward bringing hope, joy, and unforgettable dreams to children fighting life-threatening illnesses.

It’s inspiring to see our team come together for a cause that reminds us of the power of kindness, compassion, and community.

Enlit Africa 2026 continues to bring together energy leaders, innovators, and policymakers from across the continent to shape the future of Africa’s power landscape. Against this dynamic backdrop, Solareff’s Chief Commercial Officer, DeVilliers Botha, joined a powerful panel discussion yesterday on:
“The Prosumer Revolution: Redesigning the System to Accommodate Bi-Directional Energy”

As energy markets evolve, the rise of prosumers is reshaping how electricity is generated, consumed, and traded. The discussion unpacked several critical focus areas:
- Fair tariff and compensation models
- Technical and operational integration
- Policy and regulatory certainty

With insights from experts representing South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, and Zambia, the conversation highlighted both the challenges and opportunities in building systems that support a more decentralised, resilient energy future.

A big thank you to the distinguished panel:
- DeVilliers Botha, CCO, Solareff
- Dr Dalal Helmi, Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) [Virtual]
- Babatunde Osadare, Ikeja Electric
- Peter Chamfya, Zesco
- Elijah Sichone, Energy Regulation Board (ERB), Zambia
- Dr Silas Mulaudzi, SALGA

As the energy transition accelerates, collaborative dialogue like this is key to unlocking scalable, future-fit solutions.

Solareff CCO, DeVilliers Botha, will be taking to the stage this afternoon at Enlit Africa 2026 to unpack a critical topic for South Africa’s energy future:

Microgrids: A Strategic Asset for South African Energy Resilience

As the country continues to navigate energy challenges, microgrids are emerging as a powerful solution to enhance reliability, sustainability, and independence.

In this session, DeVilliers will explore the transformative role of microgrids in shaping South Africa’s energy landscape - brought to life through a compelling case study of Solareff’s award-winning Hartenbos Waste Water Treatment Works Solar PV Plant and Microgrid.

This project stands as a benchmark for municipal energy innovation, demonstrating what is possible when forward-thinking design meets real-world impact. If you’re at , don’t miss this insightful session!

Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet

This Earth Day, we are proud to show what’s possible when businesses choose clean energy at scale. Over the past 12 months, green electricity generated by Solareff solar PV plants has delivered measurable environmental impact:

• 99 million litres of diesel NOT burnt
• 308,859 tons of CO₂ emissions avoided
• The equivalent of 168,936 tons of coal displaced
• Enough clean energy to power an electric vehicle for over 1.6 billion kilometres
• 425 million litres of water saved that would otherwise have been used in fossil fuel-based power generation

We help businesses run more efficiently with clean, reliable, cost-effective solar solutions and support long-term sustainability goals with transparent, measurable impact.

Cleaner choices today build a healthier tomorrow - because sustainable business shouldn’t cost the Earth.
