“The aim of the solar plant was for the leisure and hospitality complex to reduce their reliance on diesel to prevent emissions during times of loadshedding, and reduce electricity consumption during normal periods,” said Ravin Sahadev, Sibaya’s maintenance manager.
“By doing this, Sibaya not only saves money but also contributes towards Sun International’s environmental strategy which aims to manage energy efficiently and cost-effectively,” added Sahadev.
The plant, which has a lifespan of around 25 years, was installed by LTM Energy Group.

A picture of the parking area AFTER it is covered by PV panels would complement the article even more.
Unfortunately an after installation pic was not supplied with the press release. Your are right, it would have completed the article. We will update when a picture becomes available. Thanks for your support.
But one has now been supplied and so featured 🙂
