commercial industrial solar

German EPC Kraftwerk Renewable Power Solutions and Tunisian company Solar Energy Systems have constructed a solar PV power plant for a cheese-making dairy in Tunisia.

Job listing: An exciting role for a Solar Solutions Engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa involving technical/sales and project management aspects of C&I rooftop solar installations.

The drop in solar PV costs is shadowed by field studies indicating a significant number of solar modules failure before they reach the end of their specified lifetime.

Declining costs have made the reliance on renewable energy more attractive which has seen the commercial and industrial (C&I) microgrid sector be the fastest growing worldwide.

Gridworks and New GX have announced a $40 million investment into the portfolio company Sustainable Power Solution Investments (SPS).

Declining solar equipment costs is driving African C&I users towards this energy solution but a report questions the industry way of calculating long-term solar production.

SolarPower Europe’s new Global Market Outlook report says solar PV installation increased 18% in 2020 compared to the previous year, despite COVID-19 induced lockdowns.

The South African solar PV market installed 1,313MW during 2020, broken down into 813MW of utility-scale systems and 500MW of distributed generation.

All business eyes are on the DMRE ministry, awaiting the gazetting of the amendment to Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act that pushes the self-generation threshold up to 100MW.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement to increase the self-generation without a licence threshold from 1MW to 100MW has been a long time coming for South Africa’s commercial and industrial sector.
