About Us
A technology-driven renewable energy partner built for South Africa
HOBYS EMPIRE exists to make clean, reliable and affordable power the default for South African homes, businesses, farms and public institutions.
Company Overview
Corporate engineering standards, entrepreneurial energy
Based in Sandhurst, Sandton and operating nationally, HOBYS EMPIRE designs, finances, installs, certifies and monitors renewable energy systems.
Our teams cover the full delivery chain: metered energy audits, structural and yield modelling, procurement of Tier-1 equipment, registered electrical installation, municipal and SSEG paperwork, Certificates of Compliance, and long-term operations and maintenance.
Because we finance as well as build, clients can move from enquiry to commissioned plant without large capital outlay — through rent-to-own, instalment finance, asset finance or a zero-capex power purchase agreement.
Every installation is handed over with monitoring enabled, so performance, savings and faults are visible from day one rather than discovered on a bill months later.
Our Mission
To deliver dependable, professionally engineered renewable energy systems that lower the cost of power for every South African client we serve — and to make them affordable through intelligent finance.
Our Vision
To be South Africa's most trusted renewable energy brand: a technology-led company where clean energy, engineering excellence and customer convenience meet.
Core Values
What every project is measured against
Integrity
Honest system sizing and transparent pricing — no oversold arrays or hidden costs.
Excellence
Engineered designs, tidy installations and documentation you can hand to an insurer.
Innovation
Monitoring, data and automation applied to every plant we commission.
Accessibility
Nationwide reach with finance structures that make solar attainable.
Accountability
Named project managers, clear milestones and SLA-backed support.
Sustainability
Every kilowatt-hour we generate displaces coal-fired grid energy.
Technology-Driven Approach
Data decides the design — not guesswork
We log real consumption before recommending hardware, simulate yield against local irradiation data, and hand over plants with remote monitoring so the model can be tested against reality every single month.
- Metered 7-day load profiling before system sizing
- Yield simulation against site-specific irradiation data
- Structural assessment of every roof before mounting
- Live remote monitoring with fault alerting
- Monthly performance and savings reporting
- Nationwide service commitment across all nine provinces
