According to Montmasson-Clair, by September this year, SA imports of solar panels reached R18bn; more than 4.5GW of capacity. Hohm Energy has designed over 17,500 personalised solar proposals worth R3.6bn, using its proprietary solar engineering design software tool. 37,000+ South Africans have already made use of the Hohm Energy ‘Solar as a Service’ (SaaS) platform.
Tim Ohlsen, the CEO of Hohm Energy, is dedicated to revolutionising the often challenging and complex process homeowners face when acquiring solar energy systems. His team has crafted a cutting-edge, technology-led aggregator platform that effortlessly links homeowners with trusted solar installers, while also providing structured solar financing solutions.
Ohlsen adds, “We’ve created more than 17,500 personalised solar proposals valued at R3.6 billion utilising our proprietary solar engineering designed software. Additionally, we’ve facilitated over R1.6 billion in finance applications, which were initiated by Hohm Energy and directed to our retail banking partners.”
“Hohm Energy simplifies the journey for customers, making it easy to obtain credit and afford a solar system with minimal effort. By forging partnerships with four of the top five retail banks in South Africa, we’re not only streamlining the process but also fundamentally reshaping the nation’s energy infrastructure,” Ohlsen concludes.
