About Us

After spending time abroad, oneSolar founder and owner Wehrner Kohn returned to South Africa looking for a new challenge. His background in industrial engineering meant he was well-equipped to tap into a growing demand for solar energy – and so he established oneSolar in 2008. 

From day one, oneSolar has been dedicated to collaborating closely with clients, making a point of understanding their unique circumstances, and professionally designing and installing the best solution for their current and future requirements. Whether our clients want to install solar to save costs, gain grid independence, or embrace a more sustainable energy solution, we aim to exceed their expectations and support them throughout their solar journey well beyond the initial installation. 

We share these values with our owner-managed Franchisees who embrace and live our brand identity. Strong teams with extensive experience in all aspects of the installation process continue to contribute to the success of every system we install.  

Ongoing training and constant research into new and improved technologies enable our teams to deliver the excellent service and optimal solar solutions we’re recognised for. We still actively participate in prominent industry programmes and consistently ensure we meet all solar system standards and requirements. 

Let’s discuss your unique requirements to help you achieve more grid independence.
