Solar Tax Incentives in South Africa
We all love a pun, but not for that reason alone the future of solar power is looking bright. The immense attraction of converting the sun’s energy into usable electricity for homes and businesses is something that is gaining more and more popularity.
Best Solar Panel & Battery Storage Types
Solar panels and battery back-up systems are a longterm investment, so it’s a choice you don’t want to make on the fly. Having a broader knowledge of the systems, options and workings of all the parts can save you a lot of money and help you make the best possible decision for yourself.
How the Coronavirus Pandemic can Help the World Fight Climate Change
The Connection between Renewable Energy, Climate Change and COVID-19
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now faced with, the state of the earth was shaky, at best. Natural disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and deadly heatwaves have been increasing in frequency worldwide and global pollution rates have skyrocketed. Climate change protests were happening almost every day in every country, with mass gatherings and actions […]
Importance of Renewable Energy in South Africa
Traditional forms of energy did their job, but their time is up- not only because traditional forms produce energy through the burning of fossil fuels (which releases tonnes of greenhouse gasses), but also because they are not sustainable and are running out. This leaves us with only one option – renewable energy. Using sustainable energy […]
Impact of COVID-19 on the Planet & the Global Shift to Renewable Energy
The terrible global crisis of COVID-19 has sent much of the world as we know it into lockdown and social distancing have become a well-known crisis term. The global population is finding itself in a state of anxiety and fear. Despite the negative global situation, some incredible and seemingly breath-taking moments have started manifesting worldwide. […]
Why COVID-19 Proves the Necessity of Transition to Renewable Energy
Our reliance on fossil fuels has led to some disastrous consequences. Not only has it crippled nature, but it’s created a reliance on a depleting fuel source that is driving up demand, cost, and tension between nations. The recent crisis surrounding the coronavirus outbreak has only escalated our experience of this. It has left us […]
COVID-19 and Climate Change: Why Renewable Energy is More Important Now than Ever
The unthinkable has happened. Other than the earth spinning on its axis, the world has pretty much come to a standstill. As the world population is holding its breath, the earth is sighing with relief as it is finally getting a break from all the man-made toxins being pumped into the air, oceans and soil.
Eskom vs Generators vs Solar: Load Shedding Options
Eskom isn’t getting any better, and we find ourselves constantly aware that load shedding isn’t going away. What are our options?
How to Choose Your Solar Solution
Solar power protects against unpredictable pricing for electricity by putting the control back into your hands, allowing you to plan ahead accurately and sustainably.
The Real Cost of Installing Solar
The cost of solar energy has plummeted in recent years due to incredible advancements in the technology used and how it’s produced. If we consider this alongside the escalating cost and hassles of Eskom power, “going solar” has become far more feasible than it ever was.
Load Shedding: What to Expect & How to Prepare
When load shedding began in 2005, we made a joke of it. It was amusing that we were braaing for breakfast, making coffee over candles, or leaving work early some days for a lack of power. But, the jokes ran dry sometime during 2019. No longer did Eskom seem amateurish, rather it became clear that […]
