The project
Lumasol supplied the custom-engineered mounting structures for SAPY Phase 2, a large-scale commercial solar installation at a textiles manufacturing facility in KwaZulu-Natal.
The system was designed to reduce daytime reliance on Eskom while improving long-term energy efficiency and performance.
The installation features 1,396 × 580 W Canadian Solar panels, with mounting structures designed to suit the site's layout while ensuring optimal panel orientation, structural integrity, and long-term durability in local conditions.
This project has already exceeded expectations, currently producing approximately 7% more than projected: a strong result delivered through close collaboration.
