Energy solutions companies Probe Corporation and Sinetech have joined forces to offer a complete range of solutions for the solar and broader renewable energy market.

Probe acquired a 51% stake in Sinetech in October.

The new alliance will operate independently as Sinetech Energy, and will benefit from Probe’s extensive national and Southern African Development Community footprint to facilitate product access and advisory services across a wide geography. 

The core staff of Sinetech will continue to offer the value-added services that the company is known for, but relocated to Paulshof from November 1.

“The consolidation of our operations will ensure we move beyond the Covid-19 pandemic with a revitalised vision and focus,” comments Sinetech CEO Chris Rodgers.

Probe CEO Richard Rovelli notes that the company has been seeing growing demand for renewable energy solutions over the last few years, driven largely by the increasing energy challenges in South Africa.

“We expanded our Probe automotive battery offerings to include deep-cycle and lithium-ion batteries. This was followed by solutions in the inverter and solar module space and now includes what we believe is the next frontier in energy storage, the Supercapacitor.

“Sinetech Energy will bring these products to a range of customers.”

He adds that, while Probe offers an on-the-ground footprint, Sinetech brings a strong consumer platform to the alliance through its online Sinetech Store.  

“Our combined teams will enhance this aspect of the business with the addition of consumer products including the Probe automotive battery range, gate motor and alarm batteries, inverter plug-and-play back-up systems, MaxLi battery chargers and booster packs.”

Sinetech Energy will retain current Sinetech products and brands, including TBB, Yuasa, Outback, Goodwe, Eterbright and Omnipower, as well as adding new options from Probe’s portfolio, including Jacara, Fox Ess and Omnitech.
