to negotiate the best price and ensure the product passes its extensive quality control checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lubanzi Inala will then manage all the necessary transport and delivery logistics on behalf of its client \u2013 including clearing customs and paying VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this diligence, clients who work with Lubanzi Inala are guaranteed timely and reliably-sourced equipment for their renewable energy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide the client with further security, Lubanzi Inala only invoices a client once their equipment has arrived at the installation site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dignified employment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Lubanzi Inala\u2019s B-BBEE level 1 status, companies also receive their solar equipment at a preferential procurement rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lubanzi Inala sees its B-BBEE level 1 status as more than a financial opportunity, however, as one of its fundamental goals is to generate dignified employment in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It achieves this by identifying suitable solar installers to work on its projects &#8211;
