SOLTRAIN trains local change-makers in renewable energy
SOLTRAIN (https://soltrain.org/) started in 2009 as a cooperation among
In the region, over 80% of the electricity is still generated from coal. However, the SADC member countries have excellent solar irradiation, so much so that the
The SOLTRAIN program was founded to address the said challenges and be part of the solution to support and contribute to implementing energy policies for the target countries, provide training for know-how transfer, and support the implementation of pilot projects through technical support and funding. The aim is to prepare the local stakeholders and companies to uptake and multiply the use of solar thermal systems.
An improved renewable energy supply in the SADC member states will positively impact all aspects of sustainable development, from access to water, agricultural and industrial productivity, health care, education, and job creation, to fighting environmental pollution and climate change.
Industrial Solar empowers the South African energy professionals
Industrial Solar has a strong worldwide track record in implementing solar thermal systems - particularly its Linear Fresnel Collectors. Thus, it was invited to SOLTRAIN to teach about Linear Fresnel Collectors on the 4th and 5th of July at Stellenbosch,
Participating in such an event is valuable to Industrial Solar because it increases international collaborations, nurtures knowledge transfer, and contributes to unlocking the local potential for executing solar thermal solutions. The Industrial Solar team is proud to have trained more than 40 professional attendees about their flagship technology, Fresnel Collectors, at the SOLTRAIN. The positive feedback from this event shows that Industrial Solar can expect further inquiries from the SADC region. This training inspires the company to develop further activities in other countries that want to benefit from solar energy expertise and knowledge transfer.
