The one difficulty is that I am not sure what options are available in South Africa. Johannesburg probably has almost ideal conditions for a solar powered electricity system with the tremendous amount of sunlight we enjoy. I have heard about advances in solar power systems pioneered by our very own CSIR and yet there is hardly a huge push to sell these systems in a country which so obviously needs alternatives now.
I guess my question is what the options are and who provides them? I’m not just talking about geysers powered by solar panels. I am talking about a system that could supply the majority of a house’s normal electricity requirements using robust solar powered systems. Anyone have any ideas?
What do you think?
