Company Profile

EFA Solar is a South African based company, committed to the development of cleaner and more sustainable energy resources. At EFA Solar we are focused on the advancement of renewable energies to complement the current energy infrastructure in Southern Africa.

EFA Solar’s aim is to cultivate a “greener culture” throughout society, and has identified the following fundamental points which need to be addressed in order to successfully initiate the shift:

  • Our renewable energy solutions need to be accessible and relevant to the greater South African community.
  • These solutions must be able to integrate into communities’ current way of life as much as possible; it is our responsibility to make the transition to alternative energy solutions as functional and effortless as possible.
  • Our renewable energy solutions must be cost-effective and financially competitive with traditional systems.

We recognise that South Africa finds itself in a precarious position as the country’s growing energy demands continue to outstrip supply. As more pressure is placed on our current energy infrastructure and with no immediate alternatives, South Africa continues to face the possibility of energy shortages. EFA Solar endeavours to provide a solar solution to South Africa’s energy demands which is in line with our vision of sustainability and conserving our planet.
