Free eBook – understand loadshedding & the solar boom
Before you invest in solar or a course, understand the bigger picture: why the private sector solar market in South Africa exploded and where the opportunities really are.
Power Out: South Africa, Loadshedding and Solar Opportunities
A straight-talking guide about how loadshedding created a massive private solar market – and how ordinary people can plug into that ecosystem, whether as installers, entrepreneurs or informed consumers.
