We design, install, certify and support solar PV, lithium battery storage, EV charging, hydronic underfloor heating and heat pump water heating for homes, businesses, farms and industrial sites nationwide, and we are approved installers for Tesla, Sigenergy and Sunsynk.
Synergy Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd is a South African solar installation company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Lyttelton Manor, Centurion, with full branches in Table View, Cape Town and Polokwane. We design, supply, install, certify and support turnkey energy systems for homes, businesses, farms and industrial sites across the country.
Our core offering is grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar PV paired with lithium battery backup, plus EV charging stations, hydronic underfloor heating and heat pump water heating for clients who want their whole energy system under one roof. We are a Tesla Certified Installer, a Sigenergy Approved Installation Partner and a Sunsynk Approved Installer, and we are members of SAPVIA, the PV GreenCard programme and the Electrical Contractors Association of South Africa.
We started before load shedding was a headline, before the SSEG registration process existed, and before South African homeowners had even heard of a lithium home battery. Sixteen years on, we have commissioned over 1 700 solar systems, deployed more than 17 MWh of battery storage and installed over 430 hydronic underfloor heating projects across Gauteng, the Western Cape, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the North West.
Every installation is carried out by our trained technicians and signed off by a qualified electrician with a SANS 10142-1 Certificate of Compliance (and NRS 097-2-3 where applicable), and is backed by an in-house aftercare team, not a call centre. That combination of longevity, manufacturer endorsement and end-to-end accountability is what keeps our clients coming back and referring their neighbours.
From the Synergy Energy team
Synergy wasn't founded to chase the load shedding boom. We started in 2010 with a different problem to solve, and arrived at solar a year before most South Africans had even considered it.
Synergy Energy Solutions (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2010 with a simple mission: cut the rapidly rising cost of energy in South African homes. The first systems we installed were heat pump water heating units and hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating, two technologies that slashed electricity bills long before solar was affordable.
In 2011 we added photovoltaic solar generation to our product list and completed nearly 50 PV installations in that first year. At a time when solar power was still largely unknown in South African households, this made Synergy one of the earliest dedicated full-time PV installers in the country.
Long before rolling blackouts became a national talking point, we were educating homeowners, estate agents, architects and business owners on how rooftop PV could replace failing grid supply. We played a meaningful role in introducing and popularising solar as the credible answer to South Africa's aging power infrastructure.
As Sunsynk, Deye and Victron matured, we transitioned most of our client base from grid-tied to hybrid systems with lithium battery backup. Synergy's engineers built a reputation for carefully sizing systems around real measured consumption, not sales catalogues.
Tesla, Sigenergy and Sunsynk each audited our workmanship and appointed us as an approved installer for their batteries and inverters. In the same period we opened dedicated branches in Table View, Cape Town and Polokwane, Limpopo, bringing fully staffed Synergy installation crews to the Western Cape and northern provinces.
With over 1 700 solar systems commissioned, 17 MWh of battery storage deployed and 48 MW of peak PV capacity across the country, Synergy Energy Solutions has grown into one of South Africa's most recognised full-service solar installers, while staying small enough that every project still runs through one of our own site supervisors.
Synergy Energy Solutions was founded in 2010 by Jacques and Jean Venter, who had already spent three years installing solar water heating and heat pumps. Driven by a focus on customer service and proper accreditation, they grew Synergy into an approved installer for many of the world's leading solar brands, with every project installed by trained technicians and signed off by qualified electricians, until it became one of South Africa's recognised names in renewable-energy installation. In 2017 Jaco Joubert joined, bringing more than 15 years in the hydronic underfloor heating industry and the same commitment to workmanship and after-care. Together they have grown Synergy into a national installer, serving the whole country from branches in Centurion, Cape Town and Polokwane.
Co-founded Synergy Energy Solutions in 2010 after three years installing solar water heating and heat pumps. Jacques has driven the company's customer-service standards from day one and stays hands-on with clients through design, installation and after-care.
Co-founded Synergy in 2010 and built up the company's installation and accreditation standards, growing its team of qualified electricians and trained technicians as Synergy became an approved installer for many of the world's leading solar brands.
Joined Synergy in 2017 with more than 15 years in the hydronic underfloor heating industry. Jaco leads the heating side of the business and shares the founders' focus on excellent workmanship and long-term after-care.
"We started Synergy to tackle one thing, the rising cost of energy in South African homes. Sixteen years on, that hasn't changed: every system we install still has to deliver the savings we promised and keep running long after we've handed it over."
Jacques Venter, Co-Founder
Sixteen years in, our compass hasn't changed: save our clients money on energy, deliver workmanship we are proud to sign off, and help shape a more reliable South African power future.
To deliver energy-efficient solar, battery and heating solutions that measurably reduce the cost of electricity for South African homes and businesses, built to SANS standards, backed by real warranties, and supported by a team that has been installing since 2010.
To be recognised as South Africa's most trusted PV solar installation company, known not for the loudest marketing, but for the quietly consistent quality of our installations, our long-term commitment to every client we sign up, and our contribution to a cleaner, more resilient national grid.
Customer service first. Technical honesty over sales pressure. Ongoing investment in training, accreditation and the broader PV industry in South Africa. And the principle that a system we install today must still be serviceable, supported and meeting its design numbers fifteen years from now.
A note on the market: South Africa's solar industry has grown explosively since the load shedding of 2022 to 2023, and with that growth has come many new installers. We measure our success against our own 2010 commitment: every Synergy system must deliver the savings we promised, stay compliant under current SAPVIA and PV GreenCard standards, and be supportable by our in-house team for the full life of the equipment.
We design every home or business as one integrated energy system, solar, storage, charging and heating working together, rather than as a collection of separate appliances.

Synergy is a turnkey provider of grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar PV systems, lithium battery backup, EV charging stations, hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating and heat pump water heating. We work with homes, small businesses, commercial buildings, agricultural operations and industrial sites across South Africa. Everything is designed, supplied, installed, certified, commissioned and supported under one roof, there is no need to coordinate between multiple contractors.
Since 2010 Synergy Energy Solutions has commissioned over 1 700 solar PV systems, deployed more than 17 MWh of battery storage, installed over 430 hydronic underfloor heating projects and more than 2 200 water heating systems across South Africa. Our combined peak PV capacity currently stands at 48 MW. These real-world numbers, not sales projections, are why Tesla, Sigenergy and Sunsynk trust us as an approved partner.
Yes. In addition to residential solar and battery work, we design and install commercial, agricultural and industrial PV systems throughout South Africa. Our engineers size commercial systems around measured consumption profiles, time-of-use Eskom tariffs and wheeling considerations so that the installation pays back on operational cash flow rather than on assumptions. Typical clients include office parks, lodges, farms, workshops, factories and retail centres.
Three things. First, longevity: we have been installing since 2010, so our warranty and aftercare promises are backed by over 16 years of continuous trading, not a start-up guarantee. Second, manufacturer endorsement: Tesla, Sigenergy and Sunsynk have each approved us as an installer after auditing our workmanship. Third, a full in-house team: SAPVIA-accredited designers, PV GreenCard electricians and our own project managers handle everything from the free site visit to ongoing monitoring, so nothing is subcontracted to unknown third parties.
