Launch of new solar brand UNIPASSION opens new doors for local solar contractors

DURBAN – Global solar supplier UNIPASSION has announced an expansion into South Africa this December, providing the supply of quality products, as well as beneficial partnership opportunities. The relentless load-shedding, which entered Stage 6 again this week, has seen many South Africans switching to renewable energy options. Recent reports indicate that solar capacity in the country increased by 349% in just over a year, which is beneficial for residents, businesses, and industry contractors. However, sourcing reliable and affordable solar components can be a challenge for local contractors.

The launch of global solar supplier UNIPASSION is set to shift this trajectory, with residential, commercial and industrial businesses, benefiting from the expertise and quality products of this internationally renowned company. For the SA tourism economy recovering from the pandemic, floods, and a challenging economic climate, this is welcome news as the festive season is the tourism sector’s most popular time.

Established in 1989, Coxon was publicly listed in 2008, growing with a presence in up to 80 countries.

The company has worked extensively with Sony, Samsung, Nissan, Toyota, Canon, Apple, Fujitsu, Kyocera, Sharp, and Panasonic. With expansion into South Africa, UNIPASSION’s vision is to bring high-end technologies to South African businesses and households to alleviate the present energy crisis.
