Ilaanga Energy was founded in December 2011 by Mendi Tshabalala. Mendi lived in Belgium from February 2009 till November 2011 with her partner Axel Raven. They got involved in the then booming photovoltaic industry in Belgium as installers of grip tied rooftop systems feeding back in the grid with a Feed In Tariff (FIT). Ilaanga Energy recently developed their own range of solar module mounting structures to fill a gap in the market as there jusions are manufactured in South Africa. The extrusions are processed, assembled and packed in the workshop in Wadeville, Germiston.
