The Company & Team

Frost Projects is a solar energy company driven by innovation, precision, and purpose. We design and deliver technically robust solar systems across Africa with a team of engineers, developers, and problem-solvers who are as sharp as they are committed.

What began as a lean, fast-moving solar EPC has grown into a multidisciplinary energy partner, working on projects from commercial installations to large-scale infrastructure developments. We bring together real technical depth and entrepreneurial energy, combining engineering excellence with a hands-on, follow-through mindset that clients trust.

Whether we’re modelling megawatt-scale systems or managing installations in remote locations, we’re known for systems that perform, relationships that last, and a team that’s never afraid to roll up its sleeves.

The people behind it

Peter Frost Profile Picture
Peter Frost
Director and Lead Engineer
BSc Electro-Mechanical Engineering (UCT)

Peter brings over five years of hands-on experience in the renewable energy sector, starting as a manual installer and growing into roles as a project developer, design engineer, and technical lead. He now oversees all technical operations at Frost Projects, guiding systems from feasibility through to execution with precision and creativity.

With a BSc in Electro-Mechanical Engineering from UCT, Peter has developed over 10MW of solar across South Africa, with a focus on commercial and industrial solar and battery systems. He’s passionate about pushing the boundaries of what solar technology can do, and about bringing sustainable, reliable energy to the more remote parts of Africa.

Areas of Focus:
- PV system simulation & optimisation,
- Detailed design and project execution
- System commissioning and performance tuning

David Frost Profile Picture
David Frost
Financial & Commercial Specialist
BBusSci Finance & Accounting, UCT
Chartered Accountant CA(SA)

David brings over seven years of experience advising global clients in the Energy & Resources sector, with a special focus on the commercialisation of clean energy technologies, from solar PV and battery storage to wind and green hydrogen. A former Strategy & Transactions Manager at Deloitte, he combines deep financial modelling expertise with strategic insight to help developers realise complex, high-impact energy projects.

David has led valuations and feasibility studies for utility-scale projects across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. He is passionate about designing commercially viable systems for 24/7 clean power in rural and hard-to-scale environments, and also teaches solar PV financial modelling through the Energy & Finance Institute.

Areas of Focus:
-
Financial modelling & business case optimisation
- Commercial (PPA) structuring & advisory
- PV + BESS co-location strategies
- Project finance & funding models

Built for performance, safety, and compliance
NRS-097 and SANS 10142 aligned
Designed to last
compliance meets craft

Our Standards

We don’t just build to spec, we build for the long run. Every system we design is engineered for maximum yield, safety, and compliance with the latest NRS-097 and SANS 10142 standards.

From containerised systems to complex grid-tied designs, our focus is long-term reliability: from the choice of inverter, battery chemistry, and enclosure design, right down to the nuts and bolts that face the elements.

Good workmanship matters to us. We take pride in clean, serviceable installations that are not only technically sound but built with care, clarity and attention to detail.

Reliable inputs. Resilient systems

Our Partners

We partner with brands we trust technically, financially, and in the field. Every component we specify reflects years of experience and proven performance under African conditions.

Our partner network is built on synergy, not just supply  allowing us to offer scalable, cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or future readiness. We think long-term, and we only work with those who do too.

Integrated energy expertise

Deep Technical Expertise
We have a comprehensive, real-world understanding of solar and battery systems, not just how they’re meant to work on paper, but how they actually perform in practice. Our engineering approach is grounded in practical experience, ensuring every system we design is technically sound, reliable, and optimized for long-term performance.
Integrated Financial Insight
Our designs are built with financial viability in mind. We understand how technical performance drives financial outcomes from return on investment and energy savings to funding models and operational costs. Whether it's a PPA, lease, outright purchase, or utility-scale model, we structure systems that deliver both energy and economic value.
Client-Centric, Needs-Driven Approach
We excel at understanding what clients truly need, even when they don’t yet know how to articulate it. We translate everyday objectives into highly specific, effective solar and battery solutions. By bridging the gap between layman expectations and technical execution, we ensure each system is purpose-built to meet the unique context of its user.
Tailored System and Financial Design
No two energy systems are the same and neither are their financial structures. With endless configurations of solar, battery, generator, and grid interaction, we specialise in building custom-designed systems that are as financially smart as they are technically robust.
Hands-On Project Execution
We believe a great solar system isn’t built behind a laptop, it’s built on-site. We’re deeply invested in the execution phase of every project we touch. With strong project management experience and a heart for follow-through, we ensure that the same high standard applied in design and development is carried through to installation, commissioning, and handover. We’re on the ground with contractors, making sure the work gets done and done right.
