About us

The maxx | solar energy group with headquarters in Thuringia, Germany provides its customers with all services related to photovoltaics, including planning, operation, training, consulting, financing and wholesale.  In 2012, the maxx group extended its presence into South Africa by founding maxx | solar energy (Pty) Ltd. The service and product range of maxx | solar energy (Pty) Ltd. today focuses on training, consulting and development.

The basis of our activities is the operation of the maxx | solar academy, an independent training center for solar technology which was founded together with the DGS Solar School Thuringia in 2011. The maxx | solar academy is represented in South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia and Zimbabwe and has trained already more than 2000 participants in Africa. But maxx | solar is more than a training provider. Out of the academy maxx developed the maxx | alumni network which connects entrepreneurs and photovoltaic competence in Southern Africa and Germany.
