2025 kicked off with real meaning for Deltec Energy Solutions as we completed one of our most mission-aligned and technically advanced projects yet. The Maharishi Institute is no ordinary client — it’s a national pillar for transformative, holistic education that uplifts underserved South African youth.
Through a carefully engineered Tier 1 solar and battery installation, we delivered far more than just power — we delivered possibility, resilience, and a lasting investment in the future of education.
Energy That Empowers. Values That Lead.
In a country where electricity instability continues to challenge growth, institutions like the Maharishi Institute don’t just need energy — they need dependable, purpose-built energy solutions that align with their mission. At Deltec, we don’t just sell batteries — we provide solutions that serve a bigger purpose.
Our work with Maharishi is a reflection of who we are:
- A team that goes the extra mile.
- A brand committed to social impact.
- A company that delivers on excellence, not just energy.
The Solution: Power With Purpose
To match the Institute’s needs, we delivered a future-ready system designed around uptime, sustainability, and scalability:
🔹 100kWp Tier 1 Solar Panel Array
+50MWh of clean energy delivered — drastically reducing grid reliance.
🔹 Sungrow 110CX Grid-Tied Inverter
Offsetting up to 80% of the building’s electrical load.
🔹 Jinko Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Eliminating diesel dependency in critical areas — and saving 100% on generator maintenance.
This wasn’t a box-drop. This was a hand-in-glove solution — custom-fit, deeply considered, and built to last.
Resilience Through Innovation
No great solution is built without overcoming obstacles — and this project was no exception.
- Complex Rooftop Design: Required non-penetrative mounting and detailed string optimisation.
- Live Environment Logistics: Installation navigated around student timetables
and silent zones.
- Design vs Reality: We adapted real-time to infrastructure mismatches, even waterproofing on the fly.
“Having done many roof top projects before, I was very confident in delivering a value-added product. However every project has its challenges, seen and unforeseen. International consultants were consulted and called in to advise. They wanted to implement their ideas, although logical; they were not practical or cost effective. I am happy to disclose that South Africans are true to their world renown; we are innovative and can deliver with limited resources. Thanks to a competent and motivated TEAM….we delivered on time and within budget, a lasting cost effective solution.”
— Ian David Cook, Deltec Energy Solutions
Shared Vision. Shared Future.
This collaboration goes far beyond hardware. It’s about values. It’s about unity of mission — Deltec’s commitment to uplifting communities, and Maharishi’s drive to uplift young lives through learning.
“Hudaco has a proud and longstanding partnership with the Maharishi Institute, and we deeply believe in their mission to empower young South Africans through education. This solar solution is more than just a system—it’s a symbol of shared values and a commitment to building a sustainable future. Deltec is honoured to stand alongside the leaders of this prestigious institution, flying our flags in unity.”
— Ryan Dunford, Director, Deltec Energy Solutions
Looking Ahead: Stage 2 + Ongoing Partnership
This is only the beginning. With Stage 2 in the pipeline, we’re committed to monitoring, optimising, and growing the system’s efficiency.
We’re not just lighting up buildings. We’re lighting up futures.
When Values Power Action, the Results Are Inevitable.
At Deltec, we believe in solutions that serve — with integrity, care, and impact. That’s why we’re proud to stand behind our partners, and even prouder to stand behind our purpose.
