The installation of a rooftop solar photovoltaic system at Tiffany’s Shopping Centre and Spar in Salt Rock on Kwa-Zulu Natal’s Dolphin Coast has been completed, enabling the retail centre tenants to harness the abundant coastal sunshine, go green and save costs.  Initially halted three quarters of the way through installation due to the Coronavirus lockdown, the project was able to progress as the country moved into Level 4. 1134 Canadian Solar Panels will produce over 520 000 kWh of solar energy annually through the grid-tied system.

With the global and local economy reeling from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are being forced to cut operational costs wherever possible. “These uncertain times make it very difficult for businesses to get a handle on their near-term revenues and finance costs. That leaves the operating cost line as one of the few things they can try to control - and energy cost savings can play a big role there,” says Tim Frankish of solar energy company SolarSaver.

Q&A with Stefan Kleemann from SolarSaver

With Namibia’s abundant sunshine there is huge potential to provide farms, lodges and other businesses with solar power, even in the most remote locations, significantly enhancing the sustainability of farming and tourism operations in these areas and reducing Namibia’s reliance on faltering power producers. SolarSaver manages over 170 installations in Namibia and South Africa – offering both grid-tied and off-grid systems. Considerable investment backing allows the company to offer a unique rent-to-own model, with clients paying only against the performance of the system. With farmers facing major challenges, this at least offers a capex-free, hassle-free way to harness greener, less expensive solar power. Stefan Kleeman of SolarSaver Namibia talks through the essentials.

The proof is in the pudding – or in this case the sauce! Many would doubt that a food manufacturer producing over 1 000 bottles of tomato sauce and mayonnaise daily could go off-grid and pay less for power.  Caterserve in Windhoek, Namibia, proves otherwise. SolarSaver, a provider of customised rooftop solar photovoltaic solutions in Namibia and South Africa, has installed a 200 kW battery-solar off-grid system, taking the manufacturer completely off-grid. Caterserve now runs 100% off solar power 24 hours a day and has been able to increase its production capacity.
