Our Story So Far

Why Solar and why HubSpot?

SunSpot was founded in 2024 by Tony Lopes who has decades of first-hand experience as a digital marketer, marketing executive, data analyst and marketing technology specialist. After implementing CRM platforms and marketing technology across multiple industries, Tony landed on HubSpot as the one platform that could integrate multiple functional areas while scaling with any business.

Solar became a passion for Tony after experiencing massive power issues in South Africa due to load-shedding. Home solar was a real game changer and resulted in consistent power and reduced power costs at home.

Tony went on to found an online portal dedicated to the solar industry in South Africa: www.cleanvolts.co.za and this resulted in him getting hooked on the solar industry. He took a few training courses through Green Solar Academy and attended a number of solar conferences and events, learning as much as he could about solar.

Now Tony is focused on growing SunSpot and Clean Volts to grow the solar industry and create awareness of the benefits of solar.
