During a recent trip through the Transkei down to Hole in the Wall I was astounded at the number of homes – traditional and modern – and schools with Solar Panel installations.
Admittedly most of the homes had a single panel for a light and charge controller to charge a battery but even so the impression was that the people of Transkei had arrived in terms of renewable energy.

You can help the quiet revolution along by installing an EV Charging station outside your Guest House, Hotel, Coffee Shop, Restaurant, Shopping Centre or in your forecourt. Contact Straton Electrical for EV Charging Station options.
