Fair, open pricing
Every product on this website shows its price including and excluding VAT. No inflated quotes.
Uni-E Distributors began with one homeowner who wanted solar power and could not believe the prices he was quoted. He learnt the technology himself, proved it could be done for far less, and built a business to give South Africans the right product at the right price.
How a frustrated homeowner became a distributor that installers trust for fair pricing and real after-sales support.
Chris Rossouw wanted solar power for his home. He collected quote after quote, and the prices were far higher than the equipment could justify.
Instead of signing, he started learning. Over several years he studied inverters, batteries and system design, online and with experts in the industry.
He designed and installed his own system at home: 36 kW of inverter capacity with 132 kWh of battery storage, at a fraction of the prices he had been quoted.
Having seen the difference first-hand, he wanted others to get the same: correct pricing and honest advice, instead of inflated quotes from people who don't know the products.
He bought a few inverters and batteries and sold them to installers, backed by expert after-sales service. Word spread, and the business grew into a full distribution centre with branches in four cities.
Late in 2024 Uni-E partnered with Simon Moss of All Power to import and distribute their own brand, Apium, with a warranty and pricing built to beat the market.
The best service for our clients, and peace of mind for everyone who uses our products.
