Our Story
Danny Hirst and Richard Douglas met while attending a course on commercial solar inverters in March 2015. It was there, during what we can safely assume was a hugely welcome coffee break, that our soon-to-be co-founders realised a shared vision for the future of solar energy.
Richard called Danny the following day and together they decided to form The Green Way Solar. This was back in March 2015 and just one month later, the business was up and trading – so clear was the opportunity for these two like-minded individuals to combine their talents and build their vision.
In the years that followed, Richard moved abroad to establish the company’s South African office, while continuing to play a major role in the UK operations. In fact, much of The Green Way Solar’s expertise can be traced to its operational experience in South Africa – a market defined by the utility companies’ inability to meet the nation’s electricity demand.
Put simply, energy independence counts for a great deal in South Africa and our Johannesburg team works around the clock to find solutions that enable our clients to keep their lights on; solutions that feed continuously into the knowledge base of our UK operation.
Today we have cultivated and expanded upon that knowledge to bring you best-in-class battery technology, project management and service standards; no matter the continent.
By studying the success and trends developing in markets across the globe, we are uniquely positioned to provide the innovation and expertise that gives us such an advantage over our competition.
Our Team
Our technical team comprises project managers, roofing experts and electricians. For larger projects we collaborate with trusted and approved consultants, electrical engineers, general electrical and roofing contractors. This diversity of accessible skills means that no area of our operation is neglected be it technical, analytical, financial or service-related.
