April 2013 News

ART Solar specialises in the manufacture of solar PV (photovoltaic) modules for the sustainable generation of electrical power. The company is set to play a significant role in renewable energy, initially in South Africa, followed by the sub-Saharan market and the African continent.

“ART Solar uses the latest PV technology to convert solar energy to electricity. By utilising this environmentally-friendly technology to generate electrical power, the company provides long term solutions to the current and predicted electricity issues facing South Africa,” says Dr Ronald Lange, chief operating officer for ART Solar. “PV modules which use sunlight to generate electricity are gaining popularity globally as a form of renewable energy that is clean, emission and noise-free, sustainable, safe and cost efficient.

“These modules are easy to install and require no maintenance, apart from occasional cleaning. Other important features are the 25-year guarantee offered by ART Solar and an estimated 40-year lifetime of the module. The company also offers a technical advisory and support service throughout the country.

“Customers value the flexibility of our highly skilled team that designs and produces modules according to exact requirements. Important factors also include local content, black economic empowerment and enhanced aesthetics of these modules.”

The company has made a significant investment in the latest equipment from Swiss equipment manufacturer Meyer Burger Swiss Solar Systems and benefits from shared technology with global PV specialists.

PV modules, which adhere to stringent International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifications, are certified at ART Solar by the leading and independent test institute TüV Rheinland in Germany.

The establishment of ART Solar in KwaZulu-Natal gives the South African market access to high quality, aesthetically pleasing and locally manufactured PV panels.
