When Eskom wobbles, demand for Gosolr surges - and SA’s home-solar leader gets a new convert

Loading player...
BizNews founder Alec Hogg put Gosolr to the ultimate test - and says SA’s leading provider of residential renewable energy solutions passed with distinction. In this interview, Gosolr CEO Andrew Middleton, a qualified actuary, explains how the mushrooming company's business model is built on a discipline of a simply month-by-month commitment from clients - and installations completed within a single day.
