Engineering Energy Independence

Solar & Storage Solutions That Deliver

With decades of solar and engineering expertise, RED Engineering delivers custom, reliable energy systems that cut costs and reduce grid dependence.

Who We Are

Expert Engineers. Proven Energy Partners.

RED Engineering is a Cape Town-based solar and storage firm delivering energy certainty since 2010.

Founded in 2010, RED Engineering (Pty) Ltd. specialises in solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) for commercial and light industrial clients. Our projects are guided by engineering rigour and practical experience—designed to be compliant, efficient, and future-ready.

With deep market insight and a hands-on approach, we don’t just install systems—we engineer lasting energy solutions. Every project is built to reduce operating costs, improve resilience, and empower clients to own their energy future.

60+ Years Combined Engineering Experience

Our leadership team brings decades of practical, technical, and strategic experience across solar PV, energy efficiency, and large-scale project delivery.

Solar & Storage Projects Completed

From Cape Town to Harare, we’ve successfully implemented numerous commercial and industrial systems since 2010.

Tailored, Not Templated Solutions

Every system we design is based on real load profiles, site conditions, and financial goals — no cookie-cutter setups.

End-to-End Service & Long-Term Support

We stay involved beyond installation with SLAs covering performance monitoring, maintenance, and issue response.

What We Do

Complete Solutions, From Strategy to System Support

We design, implement, and support solar and battery storage systems that are technically sound, financially viable, and tailored to real-world conditions.

default

Energy Assessments & Site Audits

We perform detailed technical audits, analyzing load profiles, equipment use, tariffs, and site viability to create an accurate baseline for system design and cost analysis.

Our Track Record

Projects Across Southern Africa

From wineries to schools, care homes to cold storage, our portfolio spans multiple industries and regions.

RED Engineering has implemented solar PV and BESS systems across South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Angola. Notable projects include:

  • 450 kWp PV for Arbeidsvreugd Fruit Packers (Western Cape)

  • 210 kWp PV + 774 kWh BESS for Rickety Bridge Winery (Franschhoek)

  • 410 kWp PV for Finlar Fine Foods (Johannesburg)

  • 53 kWp PV + 80 kWh BESS for Cape Town Society for the Blind

  • 131 kWp PV + 774 kWh BESS hybrid solution with EMS & SCADA
    Each project is backed by compliance documentation and long-term support agreements.

Dieter Ortmann Maxx Solar & Energie, Germany
As an alumnus of the Maxx‑Solar‑Academy, Clemens Brandt with his company RED Engineering successfully designed, engineered, installed and commissioned the 450 kWp rooftop PV system as a first project. The end result is a great example of a first‑class installation making us proud to have played a part in it.
Danie JacobsOwner – Arbeidsvreugd Fruit Packers
Thanks to the installation of the rooftop PV system we’re saving around 55 % of our electricity bill in the summer months.
Dr. Matthias KlaussDGS Thuringia / Maxx Solar Energy (Pty) Ltd
We were contracted by RED Engineering to do an independent technical assessment of the 450 kWp rooftop PV system. The installation complies with European technical standards both in design and construction – on par with the best practice in Europe.
Richard de VilliersStellenbosch
Extremely professional service and a pleasure to work with a company of this standard. Great team and great product. Should have done it years ago!
