July 22, 2025

Key Figures & Findings: Solareff, a South African solar engineering firm known for commercial and industrial-scale PV installations, has completed a 1.99MWp grid-tied solar project at a major regional shopping centre in Gauteng. The solution integrates both rooftop and carport solar arrays, highlighting the company’s strategic focus on reducing client carbon footprints while unlocking long-term energy savings for retail and commercial properties. Solareff has been active since 2010 and is a leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) partner in South Africa’s renewable energy sector.

Statistics & Insights: The installation includes 1,128.87kWp of rooftop solar capacity and 861.06kWp of carport-mounted panels. Combined, they deliver 1.99MWp of clean energy directly to the site’s operations.

Future Implications: If replicated at other commercial centres, this model could significantly offset retail energy demand across South Africa by 2026 and accelerate private-sector climate commitments under tightening grid conditions.
