The integration of rooftop solar PV and energy storage with grid electricity presents a highly cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solution for residential communities in urban South Africa. The findings support policy initiatives aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7: “Affordable and Clean Energy”. 1. Introduction
By Mamahloko Senatla Jaane* South Africa has many factories, warehouses, schools and hospitals – big buildings with large rooftop spaces. In such a sunny country, these flat surfaces would be perfect for large photovoltaic solar systems that could generate enough renewable energy to supply themselves, and feed into the national grid.
