South African Gold Company building a 20 MW photovoltaic plant ? (17th February 2022)
-------------------------------------------------
The surface gold mining company has taken a decision to construct a solar power plant
and a power storage facility at Ergo on the East Rand ? ( CEO Niël Pretorius )
-----------------------------------------------
The board has approved the capital expenditure for the first phase construction of an initial
20 MW photovoltaic plant, and ten power storage facilities of 10 MW each ?

The Northern Cape Province in South Africa has been identified as an area with High Solar Irradiance ?
--------------------------------------------------------
The Northern Cape Province covers an area of 372 889km²
( About Nine times the size of Switzerland... 41,277 sq km ) ?
---------------------------------------------------------
The Long-Term Average Optimal Tilt Irradiation Values Near the Town of Upington in the
Northern Cape Province are about 2 555 kWh/m2 a year ?
----------------- -------- --------------------------------
The Optimal Tilt Irradiation Value predicts the YIELD of Stationary, or Fixed Tilt, Photovoltaic SOLAR panels.

Picture of a 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power Plant with Heliostats and Receiver
South Africa to build 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power Plant in the Northern Cape ?
(See Picture of a 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power Plant above) ?
---------------------------------------
The Project will be constructed over a period of 31 months, achieving full commercial operation by the end of October 2023 ?

Update on the Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) near the Town of Upington
in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa ? ... 25th April 2022
-----------------------------------------------------------
The long-term average Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) at the site was calculated
to be 2 816 kWh/m2 a year and the average Optimal Tilt Irradiation (OTI) 2 555 kWh/m2 a year.
----------------------------------------------------------
DNI is used to predict the OUTPUT of Concentrated Solar Power Stations where the heliostats
track the sun throughout the day, while the OTI value PREDICTS the YIELD of fixed tilt photovoltaic panels ?

Northern Cape copper deposits may be used in Solar and Wind Energy Systems in South Africa ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Northern Cape Province holds a Reserve of Deposits and recyclable Copper Oxide . The current view is that
there is a Century of Copper in the ground, with a potential output of Six to Ten-Million Tonnes ( CE Jan Nelson ) ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Copper is a highly efficient conduit, used in renewable energy systems to generate power from Solar and Wind Energy ?
