Bitterwasser orders PV plant and reduces its carbon footprint

Namibia obtains most of its electricity from South Africa. There, mainly hard coal power plants are in operation, because South Africa can extract hard coal in opencast mining.
Now the exhaust gases of the South African hard coal power plants are not as well cleaned as in Germany. Therefore it is important to do without this electricity.

Bitterwasser has now ordered two large photovoltaic plants. One plant 57 kWp for the lodge and one plant 25 kWp for the adjacent village.
With so much sun as in Namibia, where else should photovoltaics be worthwhile?
If everything works out, the plants will be ready for operation before the coming season.

The picture is a system picture. This is how the systems are built.
