PROINSO launches pioneering online service Click & Collect in South Africa

Share

  • PROINSO has established nine pick-up locations in the country (no storage fees), and free delivery in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
  • This new service in South Africa adds to the branches opened last year in Cape Town and Johannesburg, with the cooperation of local partner African Solar Power.

A pioneer in South Africa for its online sales system, PROINSO has launched Click & Collect in this country, available at: www.proinso.co.za.

In four simple steps, users can buy solar products from such leading brands as SMA, Zeversolar, Jinko Solar and Lock Solar, among others.

The products will be ready to pick up in one to five days at the nine collection locations that PROINSO established in the country, with storage at zero cost for customers. Also, free delivery service is provided in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. For the installer this means logistics support and just in time warehousing for projects in their locality or further afield allowing them to focus on their core business.

Besides fast delivery, there are other advantages: Click & Collect by PROINSO is a 24/7/365 service offering the latest products with updated prices. Last but not least, the site is user-friendly.

The user just chooses his/her products, adds them to the shopping cart, selects the nearest pick-up location, pays and gets his/her proof of payment to pick up the order.

PROINSO’s new online sales service is provided together with South African partner African Solar Power. Previously, the company opened branches in Cape Town and Johannesburg in May 2013.

With a growing population, South Africa has a huge energy market potential, as the government plans to expand renewable energy capacity they aim to achieve around 30% of their power from renewable sources. “Most areas in South Africa average more than 2 500 hours of sunshine per year, and average solar-radiation levels range between 4.5 and 6.5kWh/m2” (DOE, 2014).
