South Africa: Renusol partners Lumax in rooftop PV market


Issue 316 - 28 Jan 2016 | 2 minute read

German solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting system manufacturer Renusol has signed an agreement to supply its equipment to South African wholesaler Lumax Energy. “The solar market in South Africa is continuously growing,” said Lumax business development manager Frans-Willem Vermaak. “On top of the estimated 100MW of rooftop and agricultural photovoltaic output that has already been installed in the country, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research predicts a significant rise in new installations in the future – 500MW per year is possible – if the government provides even greater support for solar power generation, for example by enhancing regulation, introducing tax incentives or a feed-in tariff in all provinces.
