Solareff is a specialist South African-based renewable energy solutions company, with a proven track record of installing medium- to large-scale rooftop and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
“Flexibility in design has enabled us to successfully deliver more than 6 MWp of high-quality solutions across the commercial, agricultural and industrial markets,” Electrical Engineer Randolf Wenhold explains.
“Solareff is committed to providing guaranteed, top-quality, sustainable solar PV solutions designed to meet our client’s unique electricity consumption requirements. Our in-house team of qualified engineers deliver full turnkey solutions, including engineering design, procurement, construction, monitoring and maintenance,” Wenhold highlights.
The company has the necessary expertise and capacity, through its team of professional project managers, to ensure that all of its projects are managed and executed effectively, while keeping its clients updated throughout the installation process.
Its solutions are designed to comply with, and exceed, all regulatory requirements. The company’s established track record with regard to multiple solutions installed for customers across a spectrum of industries is testament to its commitment to service excellence, innovation and cost competitiveness.
Banding & ID Solutions Africa supplies Solareff with 10 mm Band-It stainless steel strapping and buckles, in addition to a Band-It BAC001 tensioning tool to cut the strapping to the required length, and tension the strapping before locking the buckles. “We order rolls of the Band-It strapping at a time. It is a product that is both simple to use and easy to install,” Wenhold points out.
“Our typical installation areas are on roofs that receive both sunlight and rain. Being made from stainless steel, the Band-It stainless steel band-and-buckle does not result in galvanic corrosion,” Wenhold highlights.
Band-It has the added impact of boosting the quality and aesthetic value of Solareff’s projects. “Using stainless steel to finish off a project looks a lot neater than plastic. Stainless steel band-and-buckle is also stronger than traditional plastic cable ties.
“Even UV stabilised plastic cable ties do not hold a candle to the durability of Band-It,” Wenhold elaborates. An added advantage of using Band-It is that cables are secured tightly enough so as to prevent tampering or accidental damage, which is especially critical when deploying high-voltage cables.
Banding & ID Solutions Africa Sales Representative Matthew Campbell comments that Solareff is another example of an established client relationship that has given the company a foothold into a different market sector. “We are not so much a product supplier as a total solutions vendor, with the capability and flexibility to be able to respond to the specific needs of diverse customer requirements,” Campbell concludes.
