20kW Rooftop Distributed Power Plant in Cape Town, South Africa

JA Solar, a global leader in photovoltaic (PV) products, supplied high-efficiency PV modules for a 20kW rooftop distributed solar power plant in Cape Town, South Africa.

This project supports South Africa’s growing adoption of renewable energy amid the country’s energy challenges.

Project Overview

The 20kW rooftop PV plant is a commercial and industrial (C&I) installation in Cape Town, a city grappling with frequent load-shedding due to an unreliable national grid. Commissioned to provide clean, reliable energy, the system helps reduce electricity costs and dependence on fossil fuels for the host facility, aligning with South Africa’s push for small-scale embedded generation (SSEG).
