Technical FAQs 4

How do solar PV plants work in South Africa?

Most wind and around a quarter of the solar PV plants in South Africa have been installed through the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPP), with the rest typically connected to the existing distribution grid and behind the customer's utility meter.

Is solar a practical solution for South Africa?

However, new technologies like battery storage and microgrids make solar a more practical solution. South Africa is at a crucial turning point for renewable energy, thanks to new government legislation that aims to diversify the energy sector.

Why is battery energy storage important in South Africa?

Therefore, there is an increase in the exploration and investment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to exploit South Africa’s high solar photovoltaic (PV) energy and help alleviate production losses related to load-shedding-induced downtime.

Are solar power costs increasing in South Africa?

Renewable energy installed capacity and energy production are increasing in South Africa, but still constitute a small portion of the total capacity and energy mix. Concentrating solar power (CSP) costs are high and have more variability than wind and solar PV costs, which are both on a stable downward trend.
