South Africa's rooftop solar installation industry has a bright future and is on track for its second-best year on record, despite the suspension of load shedding in March. That's according to Andrew Middleton, co-founder and CEO of GoSolr, one of South Africa's largest rooftop solar installation companies, who spoke to TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod on the TechCentral Show (TCS) earlier this week. According to Middleton, citing figures from Eskom, 749MW of rooftop solar capacity has been installed in South Africa this year, taking the total to 5.9GW. Some 162MW of new rooftop solar was added in the third quarter, down 267MW from the same three months in 2023, when load shedding was frequently at stage 4 or higher. The figures are contained in the latest quarterly report published by GoSolr on the state of the industry. In his interview with TCS, Middleton unpacks: • The impact of the suspension of load shedding on the rooftop solar industry; • What's driving consumers to consider solar at home today; • The impact of the adoption of electric vehicles on the demand for home solar – and what sort of solar installation consumers who own or are thinking of buying an EV need to consider; • The state of play in the municipalities around feed-in tariff structures – an update on Cape Town, Johannesburg, Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay and more; • The future role of embedded generation systems in communities – the way forward and the hurdles that might be encountered; and • Why government was wrong to withdraw the tax rebate on solar panels and to impose higher taxes on their importation. Don't miss this insightful conversation about the state of South Africa's rooftop solar industry. TechCentral

Ahead of his keynote to the BizNews Conference in London, GoSolr CEO and co-founder Andrew Middleton shares some unappreciated good news on South Africa's energy front. With 75MW in rooftop solar of its initial target 500MW already installed, GoSolr is part of a surge in private sector electricity provision. Middleton agrees with money manager John Biccard who reckons the worst of SA's load-shedding is behind us - a view which has huge implications for JSE-listed stock prices which continue to discount the very worst on this front.

Andrew Middleton from British Gas Zero joins me on this episode of Tech Talks Daily.  Andrew plays a pivotal role in a venture dedicated to installing, managing, and supporting EV chargers, heat pumps, and smart home technologies. These innovations are helping pave the way to a decarbonized future for public and private sectors, under the trusted banners of British Gas, Hive, and PH Jones. With the UK government's firm commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, we delve into the timely topic of sustainable energy, affordability, and the role of technology in the fight against climate change. The conversation touches on the implications of the newly announced department for energy security and net zero, highlighting the importance of this national goal amidst rising living costs and pressing environmental concerns. Andrew sheds light on how British Gas Zero is helping customers lower their energy bills while making significant strides in reducing carbon emissions. We explore how technology is fostering a future where UK homes can fully embrace decarbonization and discuss why enhancing energy efficiency in homes is imperative in our path to sustainability. We explore the steps individuals and businesses can take to help achieve the national net-zero goal, the perceptions around this ambitious target, and how businesses can simplify the decarbonization agenda. Andrew also shares insights on how the net zero venture is aiding the UK's energy transition and British Gas Zero's collaborations with other organizations and initiatives in support of this transition. If you're curious about the UK's net zero ambition, concerned about climate change, or simply interested in how tech can help make your home more energy-efficient, this episode offers vital insights and practical advice.

I really enjoyed this episode chatting with Andrew Middleton, Managing Director at British Gas Zero and Steve Petrie, regional manager at British Gas Zero who also is a former British Gas engineer. I brought along for the ride my friend Adam Gilhespy from Carno to help me host the conversation as he also is a former British Gas engineer and like Andrew  understands strategy and processes. For anyone who knows my podcast I started it so on the ground engineers could have a more amplified voice. Unfortunately, in the energy discourses I'm privileged to be a part of these days the coal face engineers are not always being listened too.It is why it was refreshing when Andrew reached out and asked if he could come chat with us on the podcast. Andrew is one of my listeners and openly admits he has found it extremely useful to listen and learn from the engineers I have had on the show. Enjoy the showSupport the show
