Solar Energy in South Africa
Can solar technology make a difference to small, medium, and micro businesses in South Africa? I would resoundingly say yes !! There is a definite need to be less reliant on the utility power supply, especially for contractors and businesses using power tools.
The range and choice of cordless, battery-powered tools and implements have grown exponentially in the past two years. If you combine this with the ability to charge these using portable and non-portable solar panels you create an opportunity for people to continue to be productive despite the current conditions.
There are cost factors to consider, naturally, but with there being some ranges of interchangeable tools at affordable price points this is definitely an opportunity in the making.
Whether you are a contractor working on-site or using your tools for manufacturing, the ability to continue working far outweighs the capital expended.
If you need some advice DIYDoor2Door would gladly put together a package that would be tailored to your needs. This package would include an inverter and portable solar panel allowing you to keep working despite the load shedding.
