About AdSolar EPC & AdInstall What We Do Works! And what we do is design, engineer, procure and install alternative energy systems. We also install full electrical reticulation for ground-up new builds. We are a leading South African Solar EPC that specializes in photovoltaic solar systems with a growing portfolio of domestic and commercial installations and international partnership with Solibra, Germany. We are the only certified and approved PV systems’ integrator for Schneider-Electric Systems in KZN but we also supply other leading brands such as, but not limited to Socomec, Firefly, Outback and Victron. Our work includes basic systems that provide solar electricity, for example, to security fencing all the way up to major industrial plants where alternative energy generation forms a major part of an operation’s energy supply, e.g. a large manufacturing plant or distribution centre. AdSolar prides itself as being a foremost supplier of proven alternative power systems with clients choosing us as their preferred energy partner in their pursuit to developing energy independence. Whether our clients want to supplement their energy sources or completely replace them, we can do it, and have done it many times for many very satisfied clients. Not only do we provide our clients with alternative energy systems, but we work with them to identify and rectify/ replace excessive energy consumption practices and devices, leading to a more eco-friendly consumption, as well as generation, of energy. Our speciality is providing tailor-made power generation systems using Solar PV and thermal technology, supplemented by wind and hydro power generation technologies when it makes sense, but whatever we do, we stand by our motto – What We Do Works!
