A CLEANER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE WITH SOLAR PV ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES BECOMING POPULAR With the current uncertainty regarding Eskom’s plans to avoid load shedding and the significant increases in the cost of electricity, there’s a clear path being carved for photovoltaic energy, more commonly known as solar PV. There’s a growing interest in the alternative energy resource and a rising number of solar PV installations throughout South Africa. Pinelanders have caught on quickly to the trend with more than 20 installations in this suburb. This bodes well for a greener future focused on the ultimate goal of sustainable energy and contributing to lower carbon emissions. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM GENERATES ELECTRICITY The South African government-established water-heating programme has been successful in alleviating some of the electricity costs of a regular household. The difference however with a solar PV system installed by a specialist is that these systems use the sunlight to generate electricity to supply to your entire house or business, off-setting between 15% and 30% of your annual electricity consumption. The PV system is also versatile in its design. Clients located within the vicinity of the electrical grid will be able to draw energy when necessary, and have the option to install batteries, storing the excess energy generated during daylight hours to be used at night, thereby optimising the self-consumption of energy generated. GIVE 'N TAKE AGREEMENT WITH THE NATIONAL GRID In addition to the notable electricity savings shown with solar PV systems, the City of Cape Town has introduced the small-scale embedded generation tariff (SSEG tariff) option for residential and commercial clients. Customers need to remain net consumers over a twelve-month period, i.e electricity purchases need to exceed the kWh (units) exported. After receiving approval, the municipality will install the bi-directional credit meter to measure the excess electricity from their solar PV systems being exported to the grid. A pre-paid meter, does not allow export to the grid. MUNICIPAL REGISTRATION REQUIRED PV installations have to be approved by the City Council to ensure that they are safe and legal. See www.savingelectricity. org.za/pdf/cct_safe_and_legal_pv_requirements_march_2016. pdf. A safety certification and training programme for PV installers was launched by the PVGreenCard Programme in May 2016. The investment for a solar PV system starts at under R100 000 without batteries, and the financial viability is determined on an individual basis. With solar PV systems at the helm, the future of renewables in South Africa looks very promising.

Neil has fulfilled many of his dreams including those for travelling the world, and is now expanding on a life-long passion for bicycles and cycling – an interest he has had since he was 6 years old. At the age of 11 he built a bicycle from scratch for Paul, his brother's 9th birthday. With years of cycling experience and many racing titles to his name, Neil has a vision to get as many people as possible on bicycles, especially ladies and the youngsters.

Through his research at the SAMRC (South African Medical Research Council) he is constantly involved in interventions and policy formulations, concerning alcohol and drug abuse.

Travelling has been a dream and since we all loved history we asked Mr Harris, previously a history teacher at Pinelands High School, if he would be willing to lead us on a European Tour. When he said yes, we started fundraising immediately! History comes alive when the location of the event is visited. We walked and toured everyday from about 9am until at least 10pm, because in summer it stays light longer. At day's end we were exhausted and happy having seen and learnt so much.
