PROJECT BACKGROUND
Tropical Mushrooms produces fresh “natural” mushrooms whose quality is acknowledged as being some of the best in the highveld region. Power Centrix’ 110kWp installation of solar capacity contributes to their business goals and the system will power the mushroom plant during daylight hours with clean solar energy.
The solar PV plant produces around 180 000 kWh of clean energy per year. The energy is produced by 304 polycrystalline solar modules that are mounted on the farm’s north-facing roofs.
The clean energy produced by the panels will offset around 160 tons of carbon emissions – the equivalent of taking 34 vehicles off the roads – per annum.
