“the reason we looked at solar was because of the synergy it has with us and what we wanted to do to with reducing our carbon footprint, with the wind farms we looked at, solar made more sense. We have some big properties and the right pitched roofs which lends itself to solar energy; we are in Africa so we have a lot of sun most of time and it makes sense to do it”

“What impresses us most with SolarAfrica, is that they take ownership from day 1. Our municipality was a challenge, but not once did SolarAfrica back away from the challenge.”
 

“When viewed at system-level, a given amount of money will produce better environmental and financial performance if spent on grid-tied rooftop PV powering resistance geysers, than if it were spent on alternative hot water heating technologies.”

“Kikuyu and The Whisken are targeting EDGE certification and will deliver significant energy savings to residents who ‘live smart’ in their homes through a range of practical solutions which contribute towards achieving a minimum of 20% savings in the predicted energy and water consumption of the homes. In addition to this a 20% reduction in the embodied energy of the materials used in construction will result in a reduced environmental impact. Once certified these projects will be amongst the first EDGE certified projects to include solar PV technology, offering energy savings benefits to residents and setting an exciting trend in green homes.”

“We are continually tailoring our developments to match market demands, offering innovations in lifestyle, convenience and energy efficiency. The addition of solar power will save residents on their monthly electricity bill which is of utmost importance considering the rising cost of living. We are proud to be leading the way in driving green initiatives for developments like ours. This is clearly a concept that we will look to roll out to select future developments.”

“They think out of the box, they are specifically looking at changing our South Africa environment, its totally different to any environment in the world.”

“I think we and SolarAfrica, we have the same vision and plan to make a difference in South Africa so we look forward for the years to come to work with them.”

“Strategy here is SolarAfrica gets the client, they do the sales side of it and we do the installation side of it, we do the execution side of it. So we do the installations, the mounting systems, the PV panels, the commissioning and then we fire out the system then boom you have electricity, now how beautiful is that combination.”

“Our business is complementary to many players in the solar industry. By owning solar systems on behalf of energy users, we provide the energy user an easy way to sign up for a cheaper and cleaner energy supply. Our partners source, install and service our solar systems, which creates value for them and enables us to deliver projects country wide.”

Actis Investment Principal Koome Gikunda said, “We were looking for a turn- key solution that could produce clean power and pay for itself with the energy it produces.

Koome Gikunda, Director Actis Kenya commented: “Garden City is a project with lots of firsts in this market, but we are particularly proud of the solar carport. We knew that we wanted a solar component to the project early on, but the upfront costs were prohibitive. We’re very grateful to SolarAfrica for stepping in, working closely with partners Solarcentury, and for helping us to realise our vision. Read More.
