Virtual site visit – Release pilot plant

Since late January 2020, our 45kWh pilot project just outside Stellenbosch, South Africa has been operational. The site is a great opportunity for our customers and partners to experience the Release solution live, though due to COVID-19 restrictions these in-person visits have been put on hold. Therefore we have decided to develop a virtual site visit, where our visitors can experience the Release pilot project from their own homes.

We hope you enjoy the visit.

Release launches webtool

Today we have launched a webtool that allows potential customers to size their own solar hybrid plant and get a feel for how solar PV can become an integrated part of their power system.

The tool requires customers to provide information on their location and existing power source; in return they get a solar PV plant. They can further submit their answers to get a firm quote from us on their solution and savings.

The solar yield data used for the simulation is provided by PVGIS, an open source of solar data provided by the European Commission Joint Research Centre and verified by internal modelling and existing projects.

We are excited about this opportunity to bring our modular solar solution even closer to our customers.

The tool is available here
