About

Built to keep solar honest.

An engineering-led maintenance company, not a cleaning crew with a squeegee, and not an installer protecting its own workmanship.

Mission

Keep every installation we touch performing at its rated potential, through disciplined cleaning, calibrated inspection, and reporting that proves the difference in watts.

Vision

The performance partner behind Southern Africa's solar assets.

Millions of panels have gone up across the region in a decade. Almost nobody is keeping them at output. That gap, between installed capacity and delivered performance, is the entire reason this company exists.

We are independent by design: no installations, no hardware sales, no commissions on replacements. When we report a fault, it's because the data found one.

How we work

Four commitments on every job.

Measured, not promised

Every claim we make is a number we captured on your site: output, temperature, torque.

Documented, always

Before and after photographs on every job. If it isn't documented, it didn't happen.

Safe at height

Harnessed, insured, and drone-first on roofs that shouldn't carry foot traffic.

Straight pricing

Itemised quotes against measured scope. No published thumbsuck rates, no padding.

Founder

Engineering first.

Tyrell Solar Technologies is founded and led by Isheanesu Makhuza, a mechanical design engineer (Candidate Engineer, ECSA) with a background spanning marine structures, HVAC and performance systems.

That background is the point: solar maintenance is treated here as an engineering discipline. Measurement, tolerance, documentation. Not a wash-and-go service.

Compliance

Certified. Insured. Compliant.

Tyrell Solar Technologies is a fully registered and insured company whose technicians are certified by the International Solar Cleaning Academy (ISCA), the most widely held and recognised proof of quality-assured training for solar panel cleaners in the world. ISCA certification treats panel cleaning as what it really is, work at height in a live electrical environment, and covers PV hazards, safe methods of work and risk assessment around live systems.

The company complies with South African Occupational Health and Safety regulations and requirements, works under documented method statements and fall protection plans, and is 100% Black woman owned and a B-BBEE Level 1 Contributor. Through our compliance, we bring our clients peace of mind on every site. Based in Cape Town, the company serves the Western Cape and takes on regional work across Southern Africa by arrangement, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi.

B-BBEE Level 1 Contributor
Global alignment

Six UN Sustainable Development Goals, six real reasons.

Every business claims to support "sustainability." Here is exactly which of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals our actual day-to-day work moves the needle on, and why, not a general statement of support.

GOAL 05
Gender Equality
100% Black woman owned. Ownership sits with a woman in an industry where that is still rare.
GOAL 07
Affordable & Clean Energy
Every clean and inspection keeps existing solar capacity at rated output, no new hardware required.
GOAL 08
Decent Work & Economic Growth
ISCA-certified technicians, formal contracts and a documented safety file, not informal day labour.
GOAL 10
Reduced Inequalities
B-BBEE Level 1 Contributor: genuine ownership and participation in the renewable energy value chain.
GOAL 13
Climate Action
Soiling alone can cut panel output by 5–20%. Recovering it from panels already installed displaces fossil generation immediately.
GOAL 14
Life Below Water
Our marine line brings the same pure-water, no-harsh-chemical standard to integrated yacht solar.
