The solar PV project was developed to shave off the bank facility’s power consumption by 80%. High-quality materials and tier 1 solar products were used to warrant the client the best and most durable system with a life of 30 – 40 years. The inclined solar module mounting structure was used as a way of optimizing the system power generation. The bank now runs on solar energy hence greening their daily operations, therefore, contributing positively to climate change.
REPORTABLE PROJECT IMPACT
- The Rooftop solar plant will provide an annual production of 172,800 kWh per annum.
- The project will offset an estimated $345,600 (P4,760,328.96) per annum of imported energy.
- This will displace 10,400 kg of carbon dioxide per annum.
- Optimized to export at least 17,280 kWh of clean energy to the grid per annum.
- Expected to have a return on investment of 4 years.
- This project, among others, provided 5 Batswana youth with immersive on-the-job training.
