Hotel group Peermont is extending the solar photovoltaic (PV) plant at its Emperors Palace hotel and casino, in Johannesburg, from 1.18 MW to 2.72 MW by adding more generating capacity on its parkade rooftop and other roof spaces.
After the successful reveal of the first phase of the rooftop solar PV plant in August, Peermont approached energy engineering solutions provider Terra Firma Solutions, to expand the existing PV plant that has already generated 640 MWh of electricity.
The bulk of the additional solar modules will be built on the uppermost level of a new shaded parking area. Set for completion by March 2017, this will result in substantial electricity savings for the property.
The total plant size will now cover about 17 000 m2 of roof comprising of about 9 000 solar panels and 40 000 m of cable.
