Invest in The Sun and The Cloud
MOBI SOLAR IS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR URBAN, RURAL AND REMOTE COMMUNITIES
When President Ramaphosa recently addressed the nation he said, “South Africa has a great abundance of sun which we should use to generate electricity.” He added that we will soon be able to sell spare commercial and residential solar power to Eskom. This could be a huge opportunity for a new income stream for municipalities. It is a whole new way of thinking about energy in South Africa, something which has long been amiss. Every house, every building, every office should have solar power panels which could also feed into the grid.
Our natural resources are perfectly aligned for the use of solar solutions. A senior mechanical and mechatronic researcher from Stellenbosch University, Professor Detlev Kröger claims that South Africa is one of the best places in the entire world to develop solar energy.** Most areas in South Africa receive over 2 500 hours of sunshine every year, that is 4– 6 peak sun hours a day that averages 4.5 – 6.5 kWh of solar-radiation per day.
Using solar power in conjunction with InzaloEMS’s Cloud Adoption and Hosting Services means that ‘downtime’ becomes an obsolete word. Those local governments which adopted the cloud-based system were in a far better position to service their communities, even from home, during the Covid pandemic. Using the Cloud means having good connectivity and electricity and so, the next logical step for good governance is to add a solar power solution to support the cloud service. In rural areas, especially where the electricity and connectivity may be more unstable, this could be the difference between disgruntled residents and boosting the municipality’s reputation in their communities as well as enabling a sustainable municipal environment.
InzaloEMS’s affordable Mobile Solar Units can be ready and working within an hour of arrival to even the remotest rural municipality to supply free electricity, connectivity and charging capabilities. The InzaloEMS Mobi-Solar Unit is an integrated solar power system and is fully mobile and transportable. Municipalities can easily add an
InzaloEMS Mobile Solar Unit at their main site and move it around to different areas or use it as a back-up system where electricity and infrastructure are unavailable at times due to lack of capacity or load shedding. *By mid-July 2022, South Africa has experienced its worst year for load-shedding. The beauty of the product is that it can be scaled up as needed and the surface area of the container wall can be used for advertising or corporate sponsorship.
The InzaloEMS Mobi-Solar Units can also become a tool to be used during holidays when offices are closed. The community could be informed that the mobile unit will be available in their area on a particular day, so that they can pay their bills without having to travel to the head office. And then it could be moved to a different site on the same day. This is the kind of development that brings economic success and upliftment to communities.
InzaloEMS’s Mobi-Solar Solution eliminates the inconveniences caused by power outage interruptions and is the ideal opportunity for local government entities to become more self-sufficient and deliver services their residents deserve.
Riaan Schlebusch, an InzaloEMS project manager says, “At zero-cost for power, green electricity is the only solution for sunny South Africa.”
InzaloEMS’s Cloud Adoption is your municipality’s first step to becoming self-sufficient and independent of the national power grid. The second step is the back-up of Renewable Energy with going solar. What do your staff do while there is load shedding?
