Why Businesses Trust Red Energy Again and Again
By Jakes Joubert, CEO of Red Energy
In a world where fly-by-night solar installers have come and gone, there’s one thing that speaks louder than any marketing could: returning clients.
We don’t just install solar and walk away.
We build long-term energy solutions – and our clients keep coming back because they know they’re getting the best.
Importantly, many of our clients return to upgrade their systems because the savings they’ve achieved with their initial installation have allowed their businesses to grow and expand. It’s a testament to the fact that our systems are not only reliable but also contribute directly to our clients’ success. Unlike some novices in the industry who focus solely on price and deliver undersized systems, which ultimately cost the customer more, our team prioritises appropriately scaled solutions that support business growth from the outset.
Here are 5 reasons why they come back
- Professionalism & Quality
When businesses make a long-term investment in solar, they want peace of mind. They don’t gamble on second-rate installations or disappearing service providers. Our clients return because they know we only work with best-in-class products and our team is committed to quality every step of the way.
- Here for The Long Run
Post-2022, the solar industry saw a massive boom – bringing with it a flood of small-scale installers looking for a quick buck. Fast-forward to today, unfortunately, many of those providers have shut their doors, leaving businesses stranded without after-sales service and support.
For us, we’re here for the long run. Whether it’s routine maintenance, system upgrades, or troubleshooting, our team won’t leave you in the dark.
- Tailored Solutions
No two businesses are the same, so why should their solar solutions be? We take the time to understand our clients’ unique energy needs and design systems that fit perfectly – whether it’s a factory, a farm, or a luxury lodge in the bush.
- Expanding Businesses
One of the biggest testaments to our service? Our clients don’t just return—they scale with us.
Take Hippo Lakes Lodge in Vaalwater – a prime example of a client who has seen the benefits of energy independence. As their lodge expanded, they came back to us to upgrade their system and ensure that their guests enjoy uninterrupted power, no matter what. The first installation we have done for them was back in April 2022 – now, three years later, and to date, we have done 7 upgrades where, 3 are taking place simultaneously now.
And we have many stories like this!
- We Save Them Money
At the end of the day, businesses need reliable, cost-effective power AND lower electricity bills. Through our Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), clients get electricity cheaper than Eskom, without the massive upfront investment. With rates as low as R1/kWh, they’re cutting their monthly bills in half and freeing up cash flow for growth.
Good vs Great
The difference between a good solar provider and a great one is what happens after the installation.
With our team, you’re not just getting a system – you’re getting a long-term energy partner committed to keeping your business powered and your costs low.
That is ultimately the key driver for us. Thank you to all our returning customers – we love to be part of your journey.
**The intention of the article isn’t to blow our own horn… It’s about addressing the real concerns businesses face when choosing a solar provider. We know the industry is filled with scepticism, and making the right choice can feel overwhelming. That’s why we let our track record, returning clients, and long-term commitment speak for themselves.
