About us
A small team that does the whole job.
Brightveld Energy installs solar and backup power across Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand and Johannesburg North. We are small on purpose: the people who assess your home are the people who install it.
How we work
Plain answers, careful work.
Solar is a big purchase full of jargon. We explain what each part does, why we chose it, and what it will and will not do for you, before you sign anything.
- Sized from your usage
- We start from your bill and the loads you care about, not from the package we would like to sell.
- Every part named
- Quotes list the brand, model and warranty of each component, so you can compare like with like.
- Paperwork included
- The Certificate of Compliance and the municipal application are part of the job, not an extra.
- Around afterwards
- We answer the phone after installation too, and service systems we did not install.
The team
The people who will be at your house.
A small team, so the person who assesses your home is part of the team that installs it.
Ruan van der Merwe
Installation manager
Runs the installation teams and the schedule, and is usually the person on your roof on day one.
Lerato Molefe
System designer
Does the site assessments and sizes each system from your real usage, not a generic package.
Annelize Botha
Customer care and compliance
Looks after quotes, warranties and the municipal paperwork, and keeps you updated on where it stands.
On every job
What every installation includes.
The parts of an installation you cannot see on the roof are the ones that keep it safe, legal and insurable.
Site assessment
Roof, distribution board, shading and how you use power, checked in person before we quote.
A written quote
Every component listed by brand and model, with the warranty period for each.
Certificate of Compliance
Issued by our registered electrician once the installation is tested.
Municipal paperwork
We prepare and submit the small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) application for grid-tied systems.
Safety built in
DC isolators, surge protection, earthing and a labelled distribution board.
Handover walkthrough
We show you the inverter, the app and what to do in an outage, then leave it in writing.
