On Saturday, 24 May 2025, City Solar transformed their Boksburg shop into a buzzing energy hub during their Open Day event. Located at the corner of N Rand Road and Trichardt Road in Bartlett AH, just minutes from Eastrand Mall, the one-day showcase brought together live entertainment, leading energy brands, and a curious crowd of homeowners, farmers, and business owners eager to explore the latest in solar, water, and backup power solutions.
Among the standout exhibitors was YC Diesel South Africa, the official distributor of the Yuchai range of diesel engines and generators, proudly representing power solutions built to serve South Africa’s agricultural, industrial, small business, and residential sectors.

A Leadership-Backed Showcase
Our presence at the event was led by none other than Jianyu Hao, CEO of YC Diesel, and Tom Bloom, General Manager, who were both on-site to meet customers and reinforce our commitment to reliable, accessible backup power.
“Events like this help us connect with customers on the ground and show them that dependable energy isn’t just a promise — it’s something they can experience today. Our partnership with City Solar makes that even more possible,” said Tom Bloom, engaging with both customers and City Solar staff throughout the day.
Jianyu Hao added, “This collaboration brings Yuchai’s world-class engineering closer to homes and businesses across the East Rand. We’re excited to power South Africa’s growth, one generator at a time.”
