Reddam House Herlderfontein has moved away from load-shedding as it kick-started its solar project. Reddam House is part of the Inspired Schools South Africa group and is excited to announce its collaboration with an engineering company for a major solar energy project in all of its schools in the country. This initiative aims to mitigate the effects of load-shedding and drive the adoption of renewable energy, ensuring uninterrupted learning for students.
The solar energy project is scheduled to start in September and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The project represents a significant step towards reducing the institution’s reliance on the national power grid. By harnessing the power of the sun, the school now takes on proactive measures to combat the challenges posed by load-shedding and promote sustainable energy solutions.
Inspired Schools CEO in Africa, Ravi Nadasen, emphasised that the rollout of the solar energy project will involve the installation of cutting-edge solar panels and large-scale lithium batteries and the panels will generate clean and sustainable electricity, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply during load-shedding periods.
“By embracing renewable energy, Inspired Schools South Africa is not only mitigating the effects of load-shedding but also reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to a greener future. This project aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to preparing our students for a future driven by renewable energy,” said Nadasen.
The institution hopes to set an example for other educational institutions and the community, inspiring them to prioritise uninterrupted learning and adopt environmentally friendly practices.
