COAL
NUCLEAR
RENEWABLE

4. ELECTRICITY DEMAND
TIME OF THE DAY

5. ELECTRICITY DEMAND
THE PROBLEM IS ONLY BETWEEN 6 AND TEN IN THE EVENING

6. COST COMPARISON FOR NEW GENERATION CAPACITY
COAL FIRED R30 PER W
NUCLEAR R40 PER W
SOLAR WITH STORAGE R50 PER W
SOLAR WITHOUT STORAGE R20 PER W p

7. USE ENERGY MORE EFFICIENTLY

8. DAILY ELECTRICITY DEMAND

9. PRICE TREND FOR SOLAR PV
WE ARE NOW AT GRID PARITY ( WITHOUT STORAGE)

10. SOUTH AFRICA : BEST SOLAR POTENTIAL IN THE WORLD

11. NET METERING /GRID STORAGE
ALLOW HOME OWNERS TO STORE ELECTRICITY IN THE NATIONAL GRID
SUBSIDISE LIMITEDBACK UP BATTERY CAPACITY FOR BETWEEN 6 AND 9 IN THE EVENING

12. BENEFITS OF HOME POWER GENERATION WITH PV
CAPITAL COST LOWER THAN NEW CAPACITY COST
DOES NOT REQUIRE LARGE AREAS OF USABLE LAND
USE LITTLE WATER
NO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY
HOMEOWNERS CAN GENERATE INCOME
ONE MILLION HOMES EQUAL TO TWO POWER STATIONS
