About us
Daubenton~Solar was founded in 2023 by Karl Daubenton with many years experience in the electrical industry predominantly abroad working in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The journey began in South Africa at Westlake Technical College after which he spent much of his time abroad in the UK subcontracting his services to large electrical companies in and around London.
Although versed in other areas of the electrical industry including automation, the bulk of experience was in commercial electrical infrastructure design and fabrication. This experience spanned a number of contracts involving building management automation systems (KNX, Dali, Lutron) and the like.
After years of working in and around London for agencies and electrical contractors he found his way back to South Africa in 2021 where he got involved in the renewable energy sector before registering Daubentons (Pty) Ltd, the parent company of Daubenton~Solar.
