THE BENEFITS

Why Choose Red Energy

WHAT MAKES US TICK?

Keeping businesses powered up is our primary objective. Solar power is a greener and sustainable resource that should be your number one option. We operate to share this vision because a sustainable power supply is key to a sustainable and growing economy. The logic is clear, but we do understand the transition needs to be ultra smooth. And that is our sweet spot. We just love providing a solution that puts the spark back into each company we do business with. Wouldn’t it be great to have this special kind of energy?

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The thing about imported solar power systems are that they are very… generalised.  Unfortunately, one size does not always fit all.  We are also constantly searching for and developing new solar energy products that fits the South African business environment like a glove.  We have a whole department dedicated to research and development.  In fact, our roots lie in innovation.  We don’t only provide solutions, we create them.

OPERATIONS

This phase is where our solar power solutions are merged into your business.  We know that things can be noisy and look “inside out”…  You know the drill, right?

However, we have streamlined our installation process to the last detail.  We plan and commission each portion of the system systematically to cause minimal disruption to your business.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

“BMI has been in business for 34 years and one of the things we found lacking in South Africa is service, but Red Energy showed us that there are still people out there that thrives on service. I will definitely recommend Red Energy to anyone who wants to install a solar System and has already done so.”

Neville Minnie

Director, BMI Steel Structures Pty Ltd

“It’s wonderful not to be affected by load-shedding anymore. The solar improves our lives tremendously – we actually don’t always realise when it is load-shedding. We will certainly and already have given Red Energy’s details to friends, as we are impressed by the work.”

Hannetjie vd Westhuizen

Director, Ry-Ma-In Selfhelp Centre

“From planning to installation the work of Red Energy was superb. The installation is very neat and tidy and most important for me, is the continued follow-up to make sure the system is delivering as promised, which indeed it is.

I will gladly recommend Red Energy due to their professional business approach and proper knowledge of their systems.”

John Bosch

Director, Dinaka Game Reserve
