Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has officially released its 2024 Sustainability Report, showcasing key ESG advancements in innovation, sustainable manufacturing, supply chain transparency, social responsibility, and corporate governance.

South Africa may be on the precipice of another self-induced energy crisis, but no one is talking about it openly – either because they don’t know about it or because they were only here for a quick buck and are planning on being far away when the bubble bursts, writes Lance Dickerson, MD at Revov. In short, we may be in the early throes of a silent crisis of rooftop solar and battery backup systems failing.

After more than ten years of operations in South Africa, Trinasolar has established itself as the market leader in solar panel technology. Sparks Electrical News met up with Zaheer Khan, South Africa regional director of Trinasolar, for an exclusive interview at the recent Solar & Storage Live Africa exhibition at Nasrec, Johannesburg. Khan shared insights about the company's journey, market positioning, and the future of solar energy in the region.

Eskom’s latest push to enforce registration for all grid-tied solar systems, even those that don’t feed into the grid, has sent shockwaves through South Africa’s solar sector. As commercial and industrial businesses increasingly turn to renewables to escape erratic power supply, these new requirements raise serious questions about legality, cost, and Eskom’s role in shaping South Africa’s energy future.

South African businesses face a critical operational challenge as Eskom tariffs surge by over 18% year-on-year. This unprecedented increase has made energy management a top priority across industries. ElectroMechanica addresses this challenge by offering Lovato Electric's DMG Series Digital Power Analysers – comprehensive tools designed to provide the visibility and control needed to manage escalating energy expenses.
