About Gentricity
Engineering discipline. Financial clarity. Long-term support.
We are a commercial solar team based in Centurion. Our work sits between electrical engineering and business finance: build systems that perform, and structure them so the decision makes commercial sense.

Health and safety
Safety is engineered into every installation.
Every Gentricity project is planned around the safety of the installation team, client staff and the property itself. Work is carried out in line with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and current national safety regulations.
Before installation starts, we prepare a site-specific safety file for the project, including a fall arrest plan matched to the roof structure, access conditions and installation method.
That discipline continues on site through controlled access, trained height work, scaffold oversight, equipment checks and active risk monitoring until commissioning is complete.
Certified height specialists
Technicians are trained and equipped for working safely at height.
In-house scaffolding control
Qualified scaffolding erectors and inspectors manage access platforms for stability and compliance.
Proactive risk management
Site conditions, equipment and work practices are monitored throughout the installation.
How we work
We prefer useful facts to hard selling.
01
Model first
The financial case is tested before the system is specified.
02
Engineer properly
The design must fit the site, the load profile and the backup requirement.
03
Stay accountable
Commercial clients need support after commissioning, not only during installation.
From our journey starting in 2018, the maintenance and support provided by Gentricity have been exemplary.
