Our Story

Founded by Justin Botha, SolarGear is dedicated to addressing the pressing energy challenges faced by individuals and communities. Drawing on his experiences with persistent rolling blackouts, soaring electricity costs and the constant fear of a total grid collapse in South Africa, Justin established SolarGear with a mission to prioritize affordability over profit.

At SolarGear, we are committed to making solar energy accessible and affordable to off grid, residential and commercial customers. Our focus is on empowering DIY enthusiasts by providing high-quality solar equipment at competitive prices. This approach not only significantly reduces the overall system costs but also enhances the benefits of solar energy adoption, including shorter payback periods and decreased reliance on the electrical grid.

We take pride in our commitment to affordability and sustainability, ensuring that everyone can harness the power of solar energy.
