Engineering since 2009
Built for
utility scale.
SolarEPC was founded in 2019 on engineering experience in the solar industry dating back to 2009. Our commercial footprint grew through the Commercial & Industrial market but our engineering standards, project controls and execution methodology have always been built to utility-scale requirements.
Today we execute projects in the 5–50 MW range directly, and act as the technical engine for larger construction and development organisations pursuing utility-scale opportunities.
"The difference between a contractor and a partner is whether they can take a project from concept to a financeable, operating asset."
Track Record
The record,
in numbers.
88 MWp

52 MW
PV and BESS installed
12 MW
Battery storage delivered and integrated live onto 11 kV networks
150+
Grid connections completed at 400 V
and 11 kV
66 kV
Substation engineered, Eskom approved, and grid compliant
7 years
Consecutive zero-incident HSE record, across every package delivered
Credentials
Vetted by the people
who do this globally.
We have been through full technical due diligence at utility scale twice,
with two of the most demanding evaluators in the market.
Mine Solar PV Plant with 66 kV Grid Interconnection
Client: Global Energy Major — Named on Request
Appointed preferred EPC contractor, including the design and integration of a new 66 kV utility interconnection and all associated balance-of-plant infrastructure. The client's technical teams evaluated our engineering capability, EPC methodology, designs, project controls and execution capacity in full and we met every technical and delivery requirement.
Solar PV Plant, Southern Africa
Client: International IPP — Named on Request
Selected as preferred EPC contractor and awarded conditionally, following detailed energy yield modelling, floodplain civil design, hydrology, environmental constraint assessment and constructability review. We passed the developer's full evaluation process.
Internationally recognised developers, lenders and owner's engineering teams have independently assessed this organisation and concluded we have the engineering competence to deliver utility-scale renewable energy projects.
Capability
Every discipline,
under one roof.
No outsourced engineering. No coordination gaps between consultants.
Electrical Engineering
Energy Yield Modelling
Civil & Structural
Mechanical & Balance of Plant
High-Voltage & Grid
Environmental & Hydrology
Geotechnical & Survey
Protection & RETEC Studies
Modelling & design stack — PVsyst · PVsol · AutoCAD · ETAP · 3D design. PVsyst VCA modelling for an 11.89 MWp tracker plant at a major mining operation — completed entirely in-house.
Execution model
Four workstreams.
One contract.
One accountable party.
Early works, site establishment and enabling infrastructure
Civil and structural construction
Mechanical installation and electrical balance of plant
High-voltage substations, transmission lines and utility interconnection
We self-perform a substantial portion of this scope directly. Where specialist expertise delivers greater value civil works, high-voltage infrastructure, environmental services, surveying and geotechnical engineering we manage those packages through established specialist partners under a single EPC framework.
Programme, quality, safety and commercial delivery stay with us throughout. You hold one contract and make one phone call.
Full Lifecycle
We start before the site
is chosen and stay after
it is energised.
Concept to bankable feasibility to a fully operational, financeable, reliable asset under one point of accountability throughout.

Why SolarEPC
What owning the whole
scope actually buys you.
Single point of accountability.
One EPC framework covering engineering, procurement, construction, HV interconnection and commissioning. No gaps between contracts for risk to hide in.
Grid expertise, not just panels.
150+ completed connections, live 11 kV battery integration and 66 kV interconnection experience. Getting the plant built is the easy part; getting it connected and compliant is where projects stall.
Engineering that has survived lender scrutiny.
Our designs, project controls and methodology have been examined by a global energy major and an international IPP, and cleared their technical due diligence at utility scale.
Safety as a delivered result.
Seven consecutive years, zero incidents, every package. Your site, your licence to operate, your reputation.
Programme control.
A substantial self-perform capability means we are not waiting on a chain of subcontractors to hit your COD date.
Sectors
Trusted across sectors
that cannot afford downtime.
No outsourced engineering. No coordination gaps between consultants.
