With the spectre of load shedding rearing its ugly head once again following Eskom’s recent warning of forthcoming blackouts, the question begs – is conventional electricity is the best way in which to power our lives?
Since the introduction of load shedding in January 2008, the nation has been swept by rolling blackouts as electricity demand gradually begins to outstrip supply, placing strain on both the national grid and on consumers themselves. With so much frustration on the part of South Africans, and so many questions regarding electricity suppliers’ ability to provide a reliable source of energy, it seems only logical that the next step would be to look for alternative energy sources, particularly in what Eskom themselves have termed a “difficult year”.
Making the switch to solar power
In the search for a solution to the potential energy crisis facing us in 2012, solar power is one of the first that comes to mind. Long considered one of the most accessible forms of renewable energy, solar electricity has increased in popularity over recent years, leading to its becoming one of the alternative energy solutions of choice for both professional and private consumers alike.
Leading the way in providing solar power solutions to the local market is Solairedirect Southern Africa, a subsidiary of one of the foremost solar power operators in France. Bringing international quality and expertise to bear on local challenges, Solairedirect is ideally positioned to provide reliable, cost-effective PV solutionson a long-term basis.
