When Eskom wobbles, demand for Gosolr surges - and SA’s home-solar leader gets a new convert

Loading player...

BizNews founder Alec Hogg put Gosolr to the ultimate test - and says SA’s leading provider of residential renewable energy solutions passed with distinction. In this interview, Gosolr CEO Andrew Middleton, a qualified actuary, explains how the mushrooming company's business model is built on a discipline of a simply month-by-month commitment from clients - and installations completed within a single day. He also unpacks the direct correlation between demand for Gosolr's services and Eskom's load-shedding schedule and explains how the company is engaging with rural municipalities to assist them in overcoming seemingly intractable problems with supplying electricity to their ratepayers. - Alec HoggSponsored by:GoSolr: https://bit.ly/3q0jk6n Learn more about your ad choices.
