RE+ South Africa 2026 at Gallagher Convention Centre!

Yesterday, DeVilliers Botha, CCO at Solareff, took to the stage for his session, “Expansion of Microgrids – Threat or Opportunity?”, sparking an engaging and thought-provoking discussion around the evolving role of microgrids in Africa’s energy landscape.

As businesses and municipalities continue to prioritise resilience and sustainability, the conversation highlighted one clear takeaway: microgrids are not just a disruptor, they are a powerful enabler of reliable, decentralised energy solutions.

A big thank you to the organisers and fellow industry leaders for an insightful platform, and to everyone who joined the session and contributed to the discussion.

The future of energy in Africa is collaborative, innovative, and already unfolding.

Proud to have Solareff represented in the room for such a critical conversation on the future of local manufacturing. Our CEO, Jaco Botha, joined industry peers at the Powering Local Manufacturing roundtable, hosted by the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association - Sapvia, contributing to the honest, solutions-driven dialogue needed to unlock real progress. These conversations matter. Strengthening local manufacturing isn’t just about policy; it’s about collaboration across the value chain, addressing real constraints, and backing South African capability with intent to drive sustainable growth.
