Total South Africa (Total SA) on Wednesday revealed a demonstration model of its solar-powered service station at the Skukuza camp, in the Kruger National Park, in Mpumalanga, on the occasion of celebrating a 60-year partnership with South African National Parks (SANParks).
The demonstration model is in line with Total’s project to install solar panels, supplied by Total Group subsidiary SunPower, at 5 000 of its 16 000 service stations globally by the end of 2021.
This project drives several efficiencies for the company, including reducing carbon emissions by 100 000 t/y, as well as reducing its electricity cost by $40-million a year.
Total SA CEO and MD Pierre-Yves Sachet on Wednesday said the company would have about 282 solar-powered service stations by 2021, with about 60 stations across South Africa already fitted with solar installations.

He added that Total SA aims to have solar power installed at all 21 service stations in the 19 national parks within the next few years, with a service station in rest camp Lower Sabie and picnic spot Tshokwane, both in Kruger National Park, next in line for the upgrades.
