South African stationery and plastic products manufacturer Penflex will install a hybrid solar PV and battery energy storage system (BESS), which will halve its demand for electricity generated by State-owned Eskom and sustainably cut down on its biggest expense. The impact of the sustainable renewable-energy solution will help to secure the livelihoods of the families of its 300 employees and significantly reduce losses caused by wastage resulting from loadshedding, the company says.
