About Class A Solar

Founded by Springboks. Built on precision.

Class A Solar was established in 2021 by former Springbok rugby players Andre Venter and Chris Badenhorst, alongside Dian Badenhorst. The discipline, teamwork, and standards from professional sport are in the DNA of every installation.

Since 2021, we've completed 200+ projects across residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Based in Bloemfontein, we serve the Free State, Northern Cape, North West, and Western Cape. Available across South Africa.

With over 30 years of combined industry experience and a trusted working partnership, our founders brought a commitment to excellence that has earned Class A Solar five industry awards in just four years.
