SOLA is a 100% South African, vertically integrated renewable energy company that provides solar infrastructure, generation and energy storage.
Amelia Bergh
SOLA’s engineering closing lead Amelia Bergh plays a pivotal role in transitioning large-scale renewable energy projects from advanced design to financial close and construction. She masterfully navigates the high-pressure intersection of technical compliance, grid integration, and contractual finalisation to get South Africa's green infrastructure off the ground.
What sets Bergh apart is her exceptional ability to match intense technical coordination with personal resilience. Outside the office, she is a competitive, high-endurance ultra-trail runner. She brings that same relentless grit, focus and stamina required for grueling mountain races into navigating the evolving landscape of utility-scale energy wheeling, consistently pushing past boundaries to successfully cross the finish line for SOLA.
Ameena Davids
SOLA FM for Group and Assets Ameena Davids provides vital corporate financial governance across the entire organisation. Celebrating a remarkable ten years of dedicated service with SOLA, she manages fundamental internal financial systems that keep the group running seamlessly from the inside out.
What sets Davids apart is her ability to anchor the company's financial heartbeat through a decade of rapid industry evolution. While engineers focus on the grid, Davids ensures that the people and corporate assets powering the transition are meticulously supported. Her unwavering precision and commitment to internal fiscal health build the secure economic foundation that enables SOLA’s pioneering work.
Nicole Muriro
SOLA Transformation Specialist Nicole Muriro recently transitioned from her impactful role as human resources (HR) business partner. Operating at the strategic core of organisational growth, she shapes the diverse talent, culture and inclusivity frameworks required to sustain a pioneering workforce.
What sets Muriro apart is her unique ability to leverage her deep HR background to drive meaningful institutional change. Rather than approaching transformation as a checkbox exercise, she utilises a people-first philosophy to foster equity and innovation across the business. By blending compliance expertise with genuine empathy, Muriro ensures that SOLA’s workforce reflects the diverse, progressive future of South Africa’s energy landscape.
Jennavive Slinger
As the Draughting Manager at SOLA, Jennavive Slinger translates complex clean energy concepts into precise, actionable technical blueprints. Celebrating an impressive ten-year tenure with the company, she leads the design and draughting team, bridging the gap between engineering theory and structural reality by turning raw data into synchronised layouts for utility-scale solar and Battery Energy Storage System plants.
What sets Slinger apart is her decade-long foundational legacy coupled with an unyielding commitment to precision. Her deep institutional knowledge and eagle-eye attention to detail ensure that spatial conflicts are eliminated long before construction begins. Slinger’s unmatched focus and leadership make her a vital pillar in ensuring that SOLA's pioneering structures are seamlessly, safely and efficiently deployed across South Africa.
