AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE
SENWES HEAD OFFICE
BUILDING IN KLERKSDORP
GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF
A SOLAR ENERGY PLANT.
ALL THE ROOFS OF THE
SENWES BUILDINGS AND
CARPORTS ARE COVERED
WITH 2 392 SOLAR PANELS
WITH A 753.48KWP CAPA
CITY IN TOTAL.

T
goes solar
he project, which was completed by Solareff, started
in January and was completed
when it was integrated into the
existing electricity grid on 6 June
2016.
Project Manager, Johan le
Roux, monitors the Solar PV and
is very excited about the results
yielded thus far – approximately
70 000 kWh, which amounts to
about R117 600, was saved over a
one month period.
For more information read
the article, Senwes Head Office
goes Green that appeared in the
April/May 2016 edition of Senwes
Scenario by using the following

In this edition Solareff also
helps you to set up such a system
at your business.
Leverage your business’ existing electricity
expenditure to turn your roof into an asset!
THE COST OF electricity
generated through Solar PV has
reached the point where it is
equal to, or less expensive than
electricity procured through
Eskom. What does this mean for
your business?
FINANCIAL SCENARIO FOR A
KLERKSDORP BUSINESS:
Based on the assumptions below,
installing a 100kWp grid-tied
solar PV solution would provide
50% of its electricity consumption requirements. This solution
would be paid off in less than 4
years from electricity savings for
a cash purchase, or if financed, it
would be cash positive throughout the funding period. Most
financial institutions will finance
a Solar PV solution over a 7-year
period. After this, the business
will benefit from electricity gene
rated by its solution for the next
20 years – with zero cost of raw
material and low maintenance
costs.
