SustainPower started with the establishment of the company in 2016 with a focus on containerised, high-quality, durable solutions for sustainable power generation using biogas, landfill gas and natural gas, designed and manufactured in South Africa, with world-class components.

Biogas and landfill gas beneficiation are waste-to-energy technologies and therefore contribute to the sustainable use of resources and offer attractive business cases for on-site power generation in many industries such as food processing, agricultural and water treatment.

Decentralized natural gas to power solutions are a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels for continuous off-grid power and with Combined Heat and Power (CHP) offer extremely high efficiencies. Prime power supply or emergency back-up supply running on gas contribute also to a smaller environmental footprint.

Launched in 2018, SustainSolar strives to respond to the needs of emerging markets with clean, turnkey technology suited for various applications that require a decentralized, clean and dependable power supply.

Our containerised, pre-installed solar systems are equipped with top-quality solar PV modules and electronics including lithium-ion batteries and come in three standardized yet adjustable product configurations from small to large to suit a wide range of energy needs.
