Our story
Lizet, Jeroen and Marty are three entrepreneurs with extensive experience in energy, sustainability and marketing. United by their love for Southern Africa, they combined forces to launch Sosimple.
Their journey began with a simple goal: to save customers money by providing cheap, clean energy, improving the world we live in one roof at a time.
In South Africa, electricity is notoriously expensive, with rising costs from the primary energy provider outstripping inflation. This has made energy a dirty business, with very few affordable clean alternatives.
Sosimple is on a mission to make it easy and affordable for South Africans to keep the lights on while reducing their carbon footprint. We are committed to building long-term relationships based on fairness, honesty, transparency and reliability with solar power purchase agreements specifically suited to South Africa.
