Powerway PV SA, a level 2 B-BBEE solar farm builder, has presented itself as a turn-key EPC with the aim of being the “One-Stop Solar Solution” provider and has in fact set up a manufacturing facility for the production of 100% local mounting systems for both ground and rooftop systems in the Coega IDZ in Port Elizabeth. The facility will start operating in May this year, and the annual production is expected to be up to 150MW per year.
Powerway PV SA has entered into JV agreements with key partners JA Solar and Sungrow, leaders in the fabrication of solar modules and inverters. Due to these alliances, Powerway is now able to offer local content exceeding 60% on total EPC cost in South Africa.
There is no doubt that South Africa has already become the home for major worldwide companies characterized by a common long-term view in relation to the solar market in Africa, and surely we will see more participants at the Solar Show 2015.
JA Solar will start the production of both 250W and 300W polycrystalline modules with a high local content this year whilst Sungrow is in the process of setting up a “twin” facility for the production of inverters in Coega IDZ this August, with current figures already showing around 55% local content.
