ExSolar is constantly striving to provide installers and consumers with knowledge and innovative advice in the sustainable energy sector of solar energy.  With our expertise in the solar industry, ExSolar is proud to offer one day training sessions for installers and  individuals interested in a more advanced look at photo voltaic systems.


With South Africa’s main power grid being put under increasingly heavier constraints, the need for an alternative energy source is becoming a more prevalent topic. This need has created an opening in the energy sector to provide alternative solutions to traditional energy sources. We believe that knowledge is power, and power comes from the sun after all.

Our most recent training session covered some of the following topics:
•             Photovoltaic Basics
•             Market Overview
•             General Skills of System Designers
•             Applications & Typical Systems
•             Output Curves
•             Load Estimation
•             Batteries
•             Inverters
•             Charge Controllers PWM & MPPT
•             Diodes in PV Systems
•             System Sizing
•             System Wiring
•             Hybrid Systems
•             Installation & Trouble Shooting

​Please contact us should you be interested in being part of our next training session.

This year and for the third year running, Exsolar proudly exhibited at the 2014 African Utility Week at the Cape Town International Convention Center. The exhibition focused on source technology and knowledge to solve infrastructure challenges.
The exhibition aims to help the visitor make informed purchasing decisions and increase your return on investment by receiving all the product knowledge and insights into the latest industry innovations at Africa’s leading power and water exhibition.
With a predominant focus on renewable energy sources taking centre stage at the AUW, the Exsolar team kept busy informing visitors of solar energy systems and the advantages of such systems which in turn helped to provide informative solutions in the current energy disadvantaged climate.
Whether it be solar systems and kits, grid tie limiters, grid tie controllers or photo voltaic panels, we are here to assist and provide the best, most informed advice on your solar system projects.
