Feeding power back into South Africa’s Cape Town electrical distribution network, the 1.2 MW Blackriver Park solar project is South Africa’s largest roof-mounted solar PV systems. It has the capacity to generate under 2 million kWh annually from approximately 5,500 modules.
Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) located its offices in the facility choosing Blackriver because it is a “re-used old warehouse building” prioritizing energy efficiency and recycling. GBCSA urges employees to use alternative and public transport rather than individual automobiles by having less company parking available than workers.
