In this Business Talk with Michael Avery interview, LookSee Executive Head Marc du Plessis discusses the 2023 South African solar panel boom.

Du Plessis is a business operations and revenue management veteran with over a decade of industry experience.

Most recently, he joined LookSee and Standard Bank in 2021 to begin his current role.

Du Plessis begins the interview by breaking down last year’s top home solar trends in South Africa.

He explains how increased demand led to an oversupply of solar panels and, subsequently, lower prices.

Du Plessis then discusses how the government’s Energy Bounce Back Loan Guarantee Scheme has allowed LookSee to offer amazing terms on its Solar Loans – making renewable energy more affordable than ever before.

Another interview highlight was du Plessis explaining why a home solar investment will remain valuable even when load-shedding eventually ends.
