THE SOLAR FUTURE: SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa has an average of over 2,500 hours of sunshine annually. The country's solar radiation output is over twice that of Europe and one of the highest outputs in the world. This makes it a perfect climate for solar energy. The immense potential of solar energy is slowly being realised and the South African solar industry is experiencing steady growth. New policies, investments and major loan guarantees by institutions such as the African Development Bank have accelerated the development of this upcoming market.  

On 25 January Solarplaza will be organising The Solar Future: South Africa, a conference devoted entirely to the South African solar market. During this interactive one-day event industry experts, key-decision makers and representatives from leading companies will explain and interpret the current status and development of the solar market in South Africa. The conference will also provide the perfect platform for extensive networking, allowing you to share thoughts and ideas with the most important players in the South African market.

The second part of the event takes place on 26 January and will consist of an interactive workshop and a networking safari trip. We invite you to join the workshop as a member of a select group of experts, putting their heads together to map out South Africa's solar future. After this morning session the group will  head into a National Park in the vicinity of Johannesburg for an afternoon of leisure and informal networking.
