Residential Solar Boom brings Profits and Stricter Regulations.

The residential solar installation boom that is currently underway has made the solar industry extremely profitable. The solar sector is getting more regulated every day as unaccredited solar providers attempt to profit from its expansion. This offers an opportunity for solar providers to carry out quality, accredited installations and distinguish themselves from competitors.

In addition, most Municipalities, Insurance companies and Banks also require Solar installers to be Accredited. Being an Accredited installer, will not only allow you to confidently provide quality solar installation services to your clients, but it will, as a result increase your chances of profitability as well as set you apart from the unaccredited installers who needless to say, are doing more damage than good.

Recently we’ve assisted Johan van der Spuy and Ben Joubert , experienced electricians in South Africa, to launch a brand new business in solar installations from scratch.

Within 1 month of partnering with our Solar Experts, Johan and Ben started their Solar Company and were able to get 5 solar installation jobs as well as establish a full-time business within the first month. Their Company generated over R1 million in sales after their first 30 days of starting up and they’re on their way to double that after 3 months in business.
