The Story Behind SunScan
Founded in 2008, SunScan began as one man’s passion project and has since grown into one of South Africa’s most trusted names in solar and heat pump water-heating solutions.
For Klint, who took over SunScan in its infancy, renewable energy wasn’t just a business idea — it was a calling. Long before solar technology became mainstream, Klint was already experimenting with homemade solar panels, battery-powered bicycles, and wind generators, driven by a vision to harness the power of nature to create smarter, more sustainable living.
“It all started with curiosity and a belief that the sun could do more for us than just light our days.”
That vision took shape when a solar system supplier approached him about purchasing SunScan. What began as a spark of curiosity soon evolved into a thriving business — dedicated to helping South Africans make the most of the country’s greatest resource: the sun.
Building a Trusted Name
In the early years, Klint and his growing team focused on building a company rooted in quality, expertise, and service. Every product was carefully selected, every installation meticulously supported, and every customer treated like a long-term partner.
This foundation quickly earned SunScan a reputation for reliability, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to after-sales support.
“At SunScan, we don’t just sell systems — we build relationships that last.”
