Our Story

A South African company built around the sun.

Kunax Solar Solutions is a 100% black-owned business founded in 2016 to give South African families and businesses one trusted partner for solar, inverter and lithium battery systems — designed, supplied, installed and maintained under one roof.

The story

Born out of load shedding, built for the long term.

Kunax (Pty) Ltd was registered in 2016, trading as Kunax Solar Solutions. We started where most South Africans started — frustrated by power outages and watching electricity prices climb year after year.

Eight years later, we're a full-service photovoltaic company: installations, sales, upgrades and repairs of solar, inverter and battery systems for residential and commercial clients across Southern Africa. Same family-run team, same principles.

We don't believe in throwing the biggest inverter on every wall. We design around your actual usage, your roof and your budget — and we sign off every job with a 5-year workmanship warranty.

Vision

To be the one-stop solution for renewable energy in Southern Africa — trusted by families, recommended by neighbours.

Mission

Lead the energy transition by designing and installing reliable, safely-executed solar systems that pay for themselves.

Promise

World-class portfolio, the highest standards of sustainability, and the work done right the first time.

What we stand for

Four values that show up on every roof

Effectiveness

Systems sized to your real-world usage — not a sales script.

Commitment

We stay with you from first quote through years of aftercare.

Integrity

Honest pricing, honest engineering, honest timelines.

Right First Time

Clean installs, properly commissioned, signed off and documented.

Why Kunax

The difference is in the details

Anyone can sell you panels. We engineer a system that fits your life — installed cleanly, commissioned properly and documented so the next technician (ours or anyone else's) knows exactly what is on your roof.

8+ years installing

Established 2016 with thousands of hours on real South African roofs.

5-year workmanship warranty

Backed in writing on every residential installation we commission.

All major brands

Jinko, Canadian Solar, JA, Trina, QCELLS, LG and more — sourced for you.

Hybrid & lithium ready

Engineered for load shedding today and grid-tied savings tomorrow.

Cleaner energy

Every Kunax system displaces grid coal with sunlight.

100% black-owned

Proudly South African, contributing to local skills and supplier development.
