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.

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.
