11 May Time to accelerate South Africa’s dependence on solar
Valsa Trading participated in the recent Solar Show Africa, co-located with The Future Energy Show, held at the Sandton Convention Centre. The event attracted thousands of visitors, confirming the public’s desire to take energy security into their own hands as well as the opportunities abound for new business development in the renewable energy environment.
Built on 25 years of history, the Solar Show Africa is about innovation, investment, infrastructure and energy for the people. business interest in the renewable energy space. Svilen Voychev, Valsa Trading CEO, explains that the aim of the event is to accelerate Africa’s cleaner sustainable energy future by promoting big ideas, new technologies and market disruptions that enable Africa’s energy transition and brings solar energy generation, battery, storage solutions and clean energy innovations to the forefront.
Voychev added: “The volume of attendance and enquiries generated at the show for Valsa was quite overwhelming, and this confirmed the public’s desire to become as energy independent as possible, as citizen’s are forced to make alternate arrangements to support their power needs, leading to new business opportunities in the renewable energy space,”
“Further, business owners also realise that in order to stay in business, they need to be independent of Eskom to prevent the negative impact on production and their credibility with their clients and customers.”
“The country’s paltry growth rate of just 0,1% is widely blamed on the failure to supply stable grid power, which has consequences in alleviating poverty and unemployment. Statistics indicate that as we enter the 16th year of load shedding – the number of hours lost to loadshedding in the first quarter of 2023 is equal to that of the entire year of 2022. Now is the time to invest in solar –an investment that will stand the test of time!”
Meanwhile, he added that Valsa Trading was a perfect fit to participate in this event. “We have been a provider of PV solar mounting solutions since our establishment 14 years ago in 2009, offering the widest range of tried and tested products designed to meet the needs of both businesses and homeowners looking to install solar power.
