South Africa's largest financial services groups, has joined forces with its employees and Sun Exchange, the global solar leasing platform, to fund a solar-with-battery system for Bizweni Campus, which includes a pre-primary school and a primary school. The 29kW solar plus 44 kWh battery project, which is now providing clean and uninterrupted electricity, is helping to power Bizweni Campus. The solar plant will reduce Bizweni’s municipal electricity bill by an estimated 30% and the integrated battery will help protect the campus against load-shedding-related disruptions. Over the project’s 20-year lifespan, Bizweni Campus will avoid about one million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. Absa, 7 September 2023.
