About us
The power behind the marine and overland worlds.
PowerSol is a Southern-African distributor of technical power, energy and electrical components for the marine and mobile industries.
Based in Cape Town, PowerSol supplies the OEMs of our marine and automotive markets, installers and dealers across Southern Africa with the components that make vessels and overland rigs energy-independent, from inverters, lithium banks and solar to watermakers, lighting, monitoring and manoeuvring systems. We bring together 27 of the world’s most trusted marine and mobile power brands under one roof, with the technical knowledge to specify them as complete systems rather than isolated parts.
Our customers build and maintain everything from cruising catamarans and charter fleets to expedition vehicles. What they share is a need for power that works, far from the grid and far from support, so we hold the stock, the standards knowledge and the relationships to back every specification.
Designing today for the future
Sustainability in this industry is not a layer applied on top of the products, it is where the engineering went. Most of what we distribute now competes on how little energy it wastes: lithium chemistry that lasts years longer before anything is replaced, solar that makes more power out of the same square metre, energy recovery on watermakers, hydrogeneration that charges a boat from its own movement through the water.
That tends to matter to our customers for an ordinary reason first. A system specified properly runs quieter, burns less fuel, needs less servicing and lasts longer, and those are the same decisions that leave less behind. The vessels and vehicles being built now will still be working in twenty years, so the specification written today is the one somebody’s children inherit.
We do not issue environmental certificates and we do not claim any. What we can do is put the efficient option in front of the installer, and be straight about what it saves.
