Wits University and its partners in the Gauteng Research Triangle have started a pilot project to study the potential of introducing small portable solar power systems into informal housing communities to provide electricity.
Professors David Everatt and Willie Cronje with the Peco powerbrickThe project, which makes use of the Pecogrid power brick, developed by Professor Willie Cronje of the Wits School of Electrical and Information Engineering, aims to look at the viability of installing small microgrids into informal communities to assist in providing energy to these communities, while it may at the same time act as an income generator for individuals.
The project was launched after Professor David Everatt, Professor of Urban Governance at the Wits School of Governance, and Professor Imraan Valodia, Pro-Vice Chancellor: Climate, Sustainability and Inequality, wrote an opinion piece in the Daily Maverick news website, arguing that informal settlements could drive South Africa’s solar revolution.
