Award-winning solar for farms, factories & forward-thinking businesses
Class A Solar was established in 2021 by former Springbok rugby players Andre Venter and Chris Badenhorst. The company's daily operations are led by Dian Badenhorst, who manages day-to-day business activities, client relationships, and the successful execution of projects.
Load shedding stopped. Tariff hikes didn't.
South Africa has passed 200+ days without load shedding. But Eskom tariffs continue climbing at 12-18% annually.
The smartest businesses aren't waiting for another crisis. They're locking in energy costs and turning roof space into revenue.
Three solutions. Every scenario covered.
Grid-tied, hybrid, or off-grid. We design the right system for your operation.
Grid-Tied Solar
Connect to the grid while generating your own power. Reduce bills by 60-80% and feed excess energy back. Most popular for consistent daytime usage.
Hybrid Systems
Solar + battery + grid. Store excess for outages or peak demand. Uninterrupted power with maximum flexibility for zero-downtime operations.
Off-Grid Systems
Complete energy independence. Solar, battery, and backup for remote farms, game reserves, and operations where the grid doesn't reach.
