Industries
Independent renewable energy advisory across every C&I sector in South Africa
SOLINK's methodology applies to any energy-intensive business — but each sector has its own load profile, tariff sensitivity and operational constraints. These are the industries we work with most, and how we tailor the approach to each.
Sectors we serve
Industry-specific renewable energy advisory
Warehousing & Logistics
Large rooftops, high daytime load and continuous cold-chain operations make distribution centres one of the strongest cases for commercial solar + BESS.
Explore sector
Manufacturing
Heavy machinery, sharp start-up peaks and multi-shift operations drive both large kWh consumption and material demand charges — a solar + BESS sweet spot.
Explore sector
Cold Storage & Refrigeration
Refrigeration is 24/7, demand-heavy and non-negotiable. Solar covers the day, BESS covers the peak, and both protect the cold chain from load shedding.
Explore sector
Retail & Shopping Centres
Large rooftops, parallel HVAC and refrigeration loads, and tenant recovery models make shopping centres one of the highest-yield rooftop solar categories in SA.
Explore sector
Agriculture & Agri-Processing
Irrigation, pack-houses, cold rooms and processing plants — each with distinct load profiles that benefit from tailored solar, BESS and wheeled-energy structures.
Explore sector
Mining
Large baseload demand, remote sites and grid-constraint exposure make mining an ideal candidate for hybrid solar + BESS and utility-scale wheeled PPAs.
