DROOGFONTEIN –
THE HOME OF TWO SOLAR PARKS
South Africa’s Northern Cape province is the country’s renewable energy home with arguably over fifty percent (50%) of the country’s projects. The bulk of them are solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) plants of which Droogfontein is home to two; Droogfontein Solar Power and Matla A Bokone Solar.
In being enveloped by cloud-free open blue skies and blazing sunlight for much of the year, has made Droogfontein favourable for the harvesting of the sun in generating clean energy.
The two solar parks are driven by multi-million-rand infrastructure that includes amongst others; transformers, transmission lines and solar panels that lie as far as the eye can see.
