Solar Energy Proves To Be The Future Of Sustainable Energy. The demand for electricity is rapidly increasing in South Africa and the power utility Eskom is failing to provide sufficient electricity that will cover everyone. This is shown in the frequent price increases of electricity and the frequent power cuts that it has. Alternative solutions to the energy crisis are needed and more and more people need to realize that coal is not a renewable resource; this means it is not a sustainable source of energy but a temporary one.
Using coal as an energy source also affects the environment negatively as it emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane that cause air pollution and damages the ozone layer. Solar energy is believed to be the best energy source that we can use because of its renewability and sustainability. BrightBlack is one of the companies that are spearheading this trend of using solar power, not just in homes but in commercial properties as well.
BrightBlack is a South African company that designs, builds, finances, operates and manages renewable energy solutions to commercial clients. It was established in 2003 with the goal of optimizing energy efficiency in commercial properties. It also aims to become the most trusted and valued electricity and electricity solutions provider to its customers.
BrightBlack is a leader in providing electricity solutions in South Africa with over 5 million square meters made efficient and over 2MW of rooftop solar installed. It is focused on providing alternative energy to companies so that it can show that solar energy is the future and people should start investing in it more.
It has never been a better time to invest in solar. Today solar power costs even less than traditional electricity in many markets. The latest price increase from the utility company has resulted in solar being a cheaper and cleaner source of energy. Currently rapidly falling prices of technology means that commercial solar solutions are becoming more and more accessible to business owners.
Some of the projects that BrightBlack has completed include the Randridge Mall with a 1.2MWp rooftop and carport installation, Olievenhout Plaza with a 900kWp installation and Inanda Greens with a 424kWp installation using solar frontier panels and solar edge inverters.
