Wu went on to say that "we have set up our own technical team ready to support this endeavour and I am happy that we have been awarded 50-75 MW jobs already for mounting structure supply for newly announced PV projects in South Africa".
PowerWay will share their latest technological advances in PV mounting structures at the PV Project Development Summit South Africa, to demonstrate the cost reduction opportunities for projects in this region. They are also set to shed light on the advantages of localising manufacturing in South Africa, showing how this will increase local content targets under the IRP and create jobs.
