An estimated total of R88 billion into these projects are set to attract both local and international investment. The next five years will prove vital in rolling this plan out to ensure growing momentum and support from the industry.

The need for an interactive, educational and industry led platform for the renewable energy and solar market in South Africa is a top priority for these plans to be achieved in the next ten years. That is why association driven events, Solar Power International (US) and SNEC PV (China) have decided to partner with Messe Frankfurt, offering one industry platform to:

Gain insight and knowledge from international, as well as local RE experts
​Discuss strategy and implementation to drive the industry forward
Apply best practices and lessons learnt from actual case studies
Network and foster long-lasting partnerships with solution providers, utilities, and large power users
​Experience live demonstrations and technical workshops

Solar Power Africa –  The solar and energy-storage market authority of the future, will take place from 4-6 November, 2020 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. This event is driven by and for the industry amd promises to deliver a valuable experience for all attendees.

The construction of one of the largest rooftop solar PV (photovoltaic) plants in South Africa has commenced at Emperors Palace and the second phase of the project has just been completed.  “After a total of 9 months of installations, the 2.723MWp solar PV plant is now fully functional, thereby attaining a milestone for Peermont and Emperors Palace”, comments Dave Milne, Peermont Hotel and Resort Executive.
The building of the solar PV plant at Emperors Palace was completed by Terra Firma Solutions, a leading energy engineering solution provider who first conducted a detailed study to ensure that the roof could support the weight of the solar panels and associated equipment.  As a result, the plant was split up into smaller plants (arrays), across different roof sections.  The study also entailed an analysis of the electrical demand of the site and due to its scale, it was concluded that all the solar power produced, will be utilised by Emperors Palace directly.
Says Ed Gluckman, Managing Director of Terra Firma Solutions, “The solar PV plant at Emperors Palace is one of the largest; if not the largest rooftop solar PV plants built to date on a hospitality and gaming site in South Africa and quite possibly the entire Southern Hemisphere.  At peak production, the solar PV plant is expected to produce 38 to 45% of Emperors Palace’s electricity power requirement.”
All in all, 8 949 modules (solar panels) have been installed which covers approximately 17 000 square meters of roof which includes a 1.1 MW shaded parking structure.  A total of 68 inverters have been installed along with 42km’s meters of cabling to connect the various arrays at 11 different tie-in points to the various buildings.  To put this into context, the annual power production of the solar plant could power 1 000 standard, 3 bedroomed family homes for a year.
“We are extremely excited about the practical implications of the new solar PV plant.  By reducing the energy consumption for Emperors Palace, we are contributing to significant carbon footprint savings per annum, proving that Peermont is a leader in innovation.  But this initiative is just one of our key priorities and we have a dedicated sustainability programmes to reduce the group’s energy and water consumption, decrease waste and promote recycling,” Milne concludes.
