Who We Are
Solar Lane was born from the friendship and shared vision of George Whyte & Vikram Garewal.
United by a passion for renewable energy, we provide access to superior and cost-effective solar power solutions.
Our mission is to illuminate lives across Sub-Saharan Africa with sustainable power, making a brighter future accessible to all.
What We Do
Solar Lane is a leading B2B solar distribution partner, supplying solar installers, resellers and businesses across South Africa.
We provide a comprehensive range of solar panels, inverters, batteries, mounting equipment and balance-of-system components from trusted global brands — backed by competitive pricing, reliable stock availability and nationwide distribution.
Our focus goes beyond simply supplying products. We help our partners quote competitively, source complete systems, access flexible solutions and deliver successful solar projects.
Our goal is simple: help our partners win more business and grow with us.
Why We Do It
We believe the transition away from fossil fuels is not only better for our planet, but represents a more affordable, sustainable and independent future for energy.
This matters everywhere, but particularly in Africa — a continent with enormous potential, yet where unreliable infrastructure, economic hardship and corruption can prevent people and businesses from reaching that potential. Access to affordable, reliable energy creates independence and removes one of the fundamental barriers to growth.
We also believe that business is a partnership.
When we genuinely add value to someone, we strengthen their ability to add value to someone else. We empower our partners, our partners empower their customers, and those customers go on to create opportunities for others. Value has a compounding effect.
This is particularly powerful with energy. Reliable energy enables people to work, businesses to grow, schools to educate, hospitals to operate and communities to prosper.
That is why we do what we do.
Solar is the product. Empowerment is the purpose.
