Sun City's rooftop solar farm overcomes baboons and a crane to revolutionize energy generation. What's the impact on Eskom's future?
Sun City's rooftop solar farm, overcoming nature's challenges, generates 1.4MW, potentially reshaping the energy landscape for Eskom.
Baboons warming their bums in the winter morning and a massive crane were just some of the problems faced by engineers installing a 1.4-megawatt rooftop solar farm. And the problems are still coming, said Sun City general manager Brett Hoppé. “If you look at the impact on municipalities, Eskom’s revenue stream will be in an interesting quandary.
According to Lesetla, the solar system is directly tied into Sun City’s grid during the day. “At night, we switch to Eskom,” he said.
