About Us

Green Sparks was started by Neil Bradshaw to provide world class solar and inverter solutions to Africa.  Whilst our initial focus has been on Zimbabwe we operate regionally and as far afield as Nigeria and Kenya.  We have partnered with Zamara Sustainable Solutions in Malawi to provide design, technical support and of course our product range.
