PV Transact, the online marketplace where businesses and individuals buy and sell new and used solar PV equipment across South Africa, has recorded a growing number of monthly listings in the six months since its launch. First time users can create a Standard listing free of charge valued at R100, while Premium listings at R200 give sellers top placement for a faster sale. Following its success in South Africa, PV Transact will soon launch in Australia and the USA, with plans to operate in 16 countries by 2028.
Six months after its official launch, PV Transact is proving to be a popular online marketplace for new and used solar photovoltaic (PV) system equipment in South Africa. The platform was launched by GBA Digital Media Pty Ltd, publisher of Green Building Africa, the leading business to business digital news site serving the solar PV sector in Sub Saharan Africa, and the number of listings has grown each month.
The platform gives businesses and individuals a safe, user-friendly way to sell solar PV equipment to potential buyers in their local area. Listed equipment can include solar panels, inverters, battery energy storage units, combiner boxes, mounting equipment and optimisers.
The marketplace suits a wide range of sellers. A solar PV equipment distributor may want to move excess stock, while a solar installer might have panels left over from a completed job. A specialist electrical repair technician may hold good as new inverters or battery systems, and a homeowner who has upgraded their solar panels may want to sell the old components that remain in good condition.
“The solar PV sector in South Africa has matured to the point where residential, commercial and utility scale systems are being upgraded to enhance performance, but the replaced equipment is still in good condition and performs well. PV Transact offers sellers of such equipment a marketplace in which to find a buyer,” said Bryan Groenendaal, founder of PV Transact South Africa.
PV Transact is not only for second hand equipment. “PV Transact is also a marketplace for manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers to sell new solar PV equipment,” added Groenendaal.
Getting started is simple. First time users can create a Standard listing free of charge, valued at R100, and the listing process takes just 4 easy steps. Sellers who want to reach buyers faster can choose a Premium listing at R200, which places the advertisement at the top of the list in a specially highlighted area on the PV Transact home page.
Groenendaal confirmed that, with the successful launch in South Africa, PV Transact will soon launch in Australia and the USA, with further plans to enter a total of 16 countries by 2028.
