A partnership to make solar panels and integrated renewable energy systems in South Africa more readily available was launched on March 22 between Magneto Renewable Energy (MRE), Chinese tier one solar panel manufacturer Longi and electrical systems supplier Lubanzi Inala.

Located in Midrand, the partnership is using an intermediate warehouse to stock Longi solar panels and Lubanzi inverter systems, but plans to move nearby to an 11 000 m2 warehouse, where it will add two mezzanine levels to take storage space to about 30 000 m2.
