The owner, Bruce Kirk, started in the renewable energy sector in 2008 when Eskom, South Africa's sole electricity utility, introduced "load shedding" as a means to manage their capacity deficiency. Solar geysers were identified as a cost effective means of alleviating Eskom's problems which resulted in huge interest in the solar water heating market. Sadly, the global economic downturn that started in 2008 stifled the growth of the industry and in spite of Eskom's and the government's best efforts to promote solar water heating with incentives, the uptake by the public was slow to say the least. This resulted in many of the newly established installation businesses closing down prematurely, leaving their respective clients stranded, often with sub-standard installations and products. This exacerbated the public's distrust of solar water heating. AREAS WE WORK IN
