Meet The Team: Sarel And Hendrik, The Father Son Solar Duo!

With Father's Day this month, we wanted to highlight the formidable Solar father-son Solar duo Sarel and Hendrik!

Based in the sunny Whangarei, qualified electrician Sarel brings 15+ years of experience in the Solar industry. With a wealth of knowledge in Solar, he shares his passion for Solar with his son Hendrik. Inspiring Hendrik to become a Solar installer and now working alongside Sarel helping run their Harrisons Solar business.

We ask them about working as a team, balancing work and home life, and their joint passion for all things Solar!

Hendrik (Son)

Local expert Solar installer

Hey, I'm Hendrik Joubert, my dad Sarel and I cover Northland. We work with Solar customers in this area from start to finish, making sure that every customer gets the best Solar solution for them and their family. I work predominantly in Solar installation and have now been assisting my dad with the rest of the business. Dad and I have been working together for many years now and think we make for a pretty great team!

How did you get into Solar?

My Dad introduced Solar to me at an early age. As a child, I was given a Solar-powered toy car. I was completely fascinated by this and how the Solar Panels powered the car. I believe this early memory sparked my interest in working with Solar.

What are the benefits of working as a father-son duo?

Having my Dad to help me achieve my goals has always been an absolute blessing. His business and Solar skills have laid the groundwork for the greatest successes for my family and me. Dad has taught me everything I know, and I can assure you the lessons are far from over, not only in work but also in life.
