    From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.

    Sashnee Moodley:

    The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research’s (CSIR’s) solar photovoltaic (PV) module testing laboratory, built on site at its campus, in Pretoria, boasts equipment, expertise and capacity to undertake accelerated reliability stress testing on PV modules to ensure their quality and reliability.

    Tasneem Bulbulia:

    This testing aims to ensure that only high-quality modules are developed and installed, and that the modules perform optimally for the duration of their lifespan. CSIR PV testing technologist Siyasanga Innocent May expands.

    PV testing technologist Siyasanga Innocent May:

    Tasneem Bulbulia:

    May outlines the testing capabilities of the lab, the clients it undertakes these for, and how long these tests take.

    PV testing technologist Siyasanga Innocent May:

    Tasneem Bulbulia:

    May outlines the process of the lab coming to fruition, and its importance for the country and region.

    PV testing technologist Siyasanga Innocent May:

    Tasneem Bulbulia:

    May also touches on the challenges the lab has had to overcome

    PV testing technologist Siyasanga Innocent May:

    Tasneem Bulbulia:

    Meanwhile, the CSIR has also built an array of solar PV plants around its campus in Pretoria. The power that is generated from these feeds directly into the CSIR’s campus grid, and therefore, some of it is used to power the solar PV testing lab.

    Sashnee Moodley:

    That’s Creamer Media’s Real Economy Report. Join us again next week for more news and insight into South Africa’s real economy.
