Two days left to save 25% on any PQRS course. 🎓⏰

Don't just take our word for it—
"You cannot install any solar equipment until you have equipped yourself with the knowledge and skills and are capable of doing it safely and according to the national regulations. Get certified. Start with PQRS training immediately. Solarite has been doing installations for 18 years, and even we still learned a lot from PQRS to improve the protection and safety of our installations. This is not a nice-to-do; this is a MUST to comply."
— Frans C, Five-star Google review

A company with 18 years in the industry says they still learned from PQRS. This weekend you still have time left to get the same training at 25% off.
All four PQRS courses are 25% off through Monday, 31 August — open to everyone.

• Solar PV Sales: R2,167.50 (was R2,890)
• Excel Level 1: R3,667.50 (was R4,890)
• Exceed Level 2: R3,892.50 (was R5,190)
• Commercial HV BESS: R4,417.50 (was R5,890)
Excludes AREP test fees and the P4 Green Card fee.

Could a lightning strike take out your solar system? ⚡

There's a way to find out before it happens.
We've added a free Lightning Risk Assessment calculator to https://pqrs-online.com/

Answer a few questions about your site, and it tells you whether your current surge protection is enough — or whether you need something more robust.
It won't design your protection for you, and it's not a certificate.
What it gives you is a clear answer: Yes, your Type 2 SPDs are sufficient, or no, it's worth upgrading.
From there, you know exactly what conversation to have with your installer or electrician.
A more detailed version for larger or more complex sites is on its way — join the waitlist on the site if you'd like early access.

1,400+ people have registered for tonight's SANS 10142-1 Edition 3.3 webinar. 📈

That's not a number we expected when registrations opened — and it tells us this amendment matters to a lot more of the industry than a routine update.

Tonight at 18h00, Carel joins Wynand Moller (TDMI Training & Nearbyelectrician) and Antony Schewitz (Electrical Contractors' Association - SA) to walk through what's changed—live—with Q&A.
To everyone who's already registered — we'll see you tonight. If you haven't yet, there's still time.

This month we've spent time spotlighting the women building South Africa's solar industry — installers, engineers, project managers, business owners, and everyone in between. 👩‍🔧☀️

There are more of them than any one feature series could cover. Women reading meter data on rooftops in the heat. Women running EPC and consulting businesses. Women sitting AREP tests alongside their male colleagues and passing just as often. Women teaching the next generation how to size a string inverter.

The industry doesn't always say this out loud, so today we will: solar in South Africa is being built by more women than the headlines suggest, and we're glad to be training some of them.

If there's a woman in your corner of the industry who's taught you something, backed you up on a tough install, or built something you admire — tag her below. We'd love to know who's out there. 👇
And if you're a woman thinking about starting or levelling up in solar — our Women's Month pricing is open to everyone and closes this Sunday.
