A solar equipment and appliance supplier in Bloemfontein
Every quote goes out in writing with the lead time on it, and the technical question gets answered before you buy rather than after.
We supply equipment only. We do not install, and we do not sell installation — so when we help you choose between two inverters, nothing rides on the answer except that it is right.

Our vision
At First Light Solar, we believe a business should be built on more than products and profits — it should be built on purpose, integrity, family, and service.
We are starting fresh with a simple vision: to create a solar company our community can trust — one that provides quality equipment, honest advice, and genuine care for every customer we serve.
Our faith is part of who we are and how we choose to do business. Inspired by the message of John 8:12, we strive to be a source of light — bringing not only reliable energy solutions to our customers, but honesty, hope, and a commitment to doing business the right way.
We are building something for the long term: a family business, a trusted local partner, and a company that brings a little more light into the communities we serve.
Meet the team
We’re the people behind First Light Solar — a small, dedicated team who genuinely care about the work we do and the people we do it for. We bring different strengths, experience and personalities to the table, but share the same goal: to make solar feel simple, trustworthy and accessible.
From the first conversation to the final delivery, we’re here to help, answer the questions, solve the problems and make the journey a little brighter.
Who we are
We supply. We do not install.
That distinction is the advice you get.
A company that fits systems has a reason to sell you a bigger one. We have no labour to fill and no job to win — when we say a 30 A controller is enough for your array, that is the mathematics talking.
Solar work in South Africa must be carried out by a qualified person and signed off with a Certificate of Compliance. Arranging that is yours to do — we supply the equipment it is done with.
A Bloemfontein team we trust with the equipment we sell. You appoint them directly — the installation contract, the workmanship and the Certificate of Compliance sit with your installer.
Residential and commercial solar installation. Bloemfontein.

Priced in writing
Solar moves with the rand — a price printed on a web page is stale before it is useful. Every figure we give is written, dated, valid for the period stated, and one we are prepared to stand behind.
Delivery across the Free State
Reliable delivery across Bloemfontein and the surrounding areas.
Delivery options and costs are tailored to your location and included in your quotation — so the cost of getting the equipment to you is on the same piece of paper as the price. Collection from the counter is always available.
