SOVRN (Solar & Backup) Energy

"Solar is playing a pivotal role" - South Africa’s Deputy Minister for Electricity and Energy, Samantha Graham-Maré speaks to ESI Africa at Solar Power Africa about the future of solar energy in South African and she gives a true observation that seldom comes out.... Points to take home: 1. "Solar is playing a pivotal role in energy transformation" 2. "Originally used to shield oneself against loadshedding" 3. "BUT now, more and more install to reduce rising electricity costs" 4. "We are seeing a continued upswing" https://lnkd.in/d7YeaSfP

Hear, hear...3 reasons to consider solar power instead of suffering with loadshedding (and there are many more). 1. It can (*will) save you money (*our view) 2. It adds value to your property (we agree) 3. It's better for the environment (the world agrees) So good to read a positive article now and then, instead of the 'click bate headers' that many websites employ to draw traffic - most of which are misleading, especially when unread. https://lnkd.in/dYvaSVDM

We ensure that at minimum your coffee machine always delivers:-) NB: If you live in or around the Southern and mountain hugging Suburbs of Cape Town and would like a Meister quality system, we look forward to hearing from you. Being "powered by SOVRN Energy" is not just a purchase, it's more like becoming family.

Brilliant thinking! Not-for-profit social enterprise NUNCATS have developed a rugged electric plane, known as the Electric Sky Jeep, and have already built two charging ports in the UK, at Saxon and Buckenham to demonstrate the feasibility of solar-powered aviation infrastructure. Solar energy provider and supporter RenEnergy recognises the immense value of expanding a network of charging ports across Africa, enabling sustainable, resilient transport solutions that can revolutionise connectivity for remote communities.? https://lnkd.in/dc9xb5i3

So good to see GoodWe’s Hybrid single-phase low-voltage energy storage solutions focused here and recognised for its advancing the global transition to renewable energy, especially in regions where power stability remains a critical challenge....yes like South Africa. Already used by SOVRN Energy and here featuring Goodwe's market-proven ES series inverters, ranging from 3kW to 12kW, and battery systems starting at 5kWh and expandable up to 150kWh, these low-voltage solutions offer an ideal blend of affordability, scalability, and reliability. https://lnkd.in/dRCdV2nT

Have a solar system? If you didn't use SOVRN Energy to install your solar system, then it'll be a good idea to get up to speed with the requirements of the SSEG (Small Scale Embedded Energy Generation) application for your respective province/municipality....here's a good start. https://lnkd.in/d7DwhqPb

What to do with 'saved cash'? We recommend: 1. either investing in Solar to mitigate Eskom's the recently released price increase that will come into effect from July 1st (12.7% for 2025). 2. or start using the 'spare' money to save up a nice kitty to pay Eskom for future power needed. 3. better yet, do both the above with a twist - rather invest the 'spare/saved cash' into investments* (*we are not financial advisors...but we know some very good ones) https://lnkd.in/diFmU7ZT NB: If you live in or around the Southern and mountain hugging Suburbs of Cape Town and would like a Meister quality system, we look forward to hearing from you.

NERSA just approved the following: 2025/2026 a 12.7% increase 2026/2027 a 5.36% increase 2027/2028 a 6.19% increase

Drum roll.....today NERSA (The National Energy Regulator of South Africa) will announce its decision on Eskom’s Sixth Multi-Year Price Determination (MYPD6) revenue application for the 2025/26, 2026/27 and 2027/28 Financial Years at a Media Briefing session. The details of the media briefing as follows: Date : 30 January 2025 Time : 15:00 – 16:00 Venue : Microsoft Teams - The media briefing will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, and it will be live-streamed on NERSA’s social media platforms: Twitter @NERSA_ZA and Facebook @NERSAZA.

Take it from Geordin Hill-Lewis; the goal to distance yourself from Eskom is a good one and one that is a smart investment. https://lnkd.in/dXP5BKwW NB: If you live in or around the Southern and mountain hugging Suburbs of Cape Town and would like a Meister quality system, we look forward to hearing from you.
