Unique Energy is a solar installer and inverter supplier based in Durban, delivering commercial solar and battery storage systems across South Africa as a genuine load shedding solution, backed by maintenance contracts. We're also diesel suppliers, brokering bulk diesel and fuel deals nationwide — connecting buyers and suppliers without holding stock ourselves.
Two distinct businesses under one division — a site visit in the morning, a fuel deal being worked in the afternoon.
On the solar side, a typical week means site assessments for new residential and commercial installs, crews on rooftops fitting panels and inverters, and scheduled maintenance visits for clients already on a service contract — checking inverter performance, battery health, and panel condition before small issues become outages.
On the fuel side, the work looks different: it's relationship and logistics work, matching a buyer who needs a bulk diesel delivery with a supplier who can fill it, negotiating terms, and making sure the deal closes without either of us holding stock or taking on storage risk. It's brokerage, not a fuel depot.
Solar work runs on installation fees and ongoing maintenance contracts, so once a system is in, we're still involved. Fuel brokerage runs on deal-by-deal margins. Longer term, we're moving toward energy-as-a-service subscriptions and microgrid solutions that combine both sides of the division.
Solar and backup power on one side, fuel brokerage on the other.
Full solar installations sized to the property, from single-home systems to larger commercial rooftops — as solar panel suppliers serving South Africa.
Backup power solutions — inverters and battery storage systems for South Africa — sized to keep essential circuits running through outages and load-shedding, installed by our Durban-based inverter suppliers.
Scheduled solar maintenance, inspections and servicing for installed systems, catching problems before they cause downtime.
As diesel suppliers based in Durban, we connect buyers with a bulk fuel supplier network across South Africa, coordinating diesel delivery and negotiation from end to end.
Contract terms, delivery scheduling, and supplier vetting for bulk fuel transactions and generator fuel supply, without either party holding stock.
Subscription energy models and microgrid solutions that combine solar, storage, and backup into one offering.
Systems are sized to actual load requirements, not to whatever moves the most equipment off our shelf.
Maintenance contracts mean someone is still checking on your system months and years after it goes live.
As a broker, not a depot, we move deals fast without either party carrying stock they don't need.
Installation expertise and brokerage relationships sit under one roof, which is where energy-as-a-service is headed anyway.
