Solar energy solutions company GoSolr is giving schools and small- and medium-sized businesses access to subscription-based solar power, thereby reducing their reliance on the national grid for power supply. GoSolr CEO Andrew Middleton says that it is important for South Africa to increase the percentage of solar-based generation in its energy mix, as this will ensure that businesses can avert the negative effects of increased tariffs and the unreliability and carbon emissions associated with supply from State-owned power utility Eskom.
