Academy Partner

Shane’D Electricals is a Botswana-based electrical company offering installation, maintenance and repair of Electrical systems, Generators, Security Systems and Solar Systems.

In June 2022, Moses Dube, owner of Shane’D Electricals, became a GREEN Academy Partner. After attending GREEN’s 5-day SuperSolarSchool training in Johannesburg, Moses realised that he wanted to be able to offer GREEN’s professional, internationally-accredited short solar courses in his home country. He submitted an application to operate a GREEN Solar Academy and has taken part in GREEN’s extensive Training of Trainer programme, and will gradually be adding to the course options available through his academy as interest in solar installation training in Botswana increases.
