Presentation of the exhibition
Solar & Storage Live is developed byTortoiseThe global series of exhibitions hosted by Cape Town, Cape Town’s largest renewable energy show, celebrates cutting-edge technologies in the transition to greener, smarter and more decentralised energy systems.
Reasons for exhibiting:
The two-day event brings together industry leaders to share their expertise on key topics in the sector. Presentations, panel discussions and interviews will reveal the technologies and innovations shaping the future of the industry and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing South Africa.
The 200 global brands participating in the exhibition will showcase the latest solar and energy storage products and solutions available on the market. Exhibitors range from world-leading suppliers to innovative start-ups that are revolutionizing industries.
We know the value of live events comes from high-quality networking opportunities. To facilitate this, we have a dedicated networking lounge, guest buyer program and web app.
Enter a new era of energy transition with Solar & Storage Cape Town 2024, an event that shines a spotlight on the Western Cape while continuing a 27-year tradition. Building on years of energy expertise, we are proud to launch a campaign designed to capture the essence of South Africa’s energy development, with a focus on the transformative power of solar, cutting-edge battery storage solutions, the vanguard of clean energy progress and the driving force behind Africa’s energy transition as it disrupts market forces.
Solar&Storage Live Cape Town covers the big ideas, new technologies and market disruptions driving Africa’s energy transition and bringing solar, batteries, storage solutions and clean energy innovation to the forefront.
The dynamics of the energy sector are rapidly changing as digitalization shapes the energy of tomorrow and the world shifts its focus to renewable energy generation. Providing reliable, sustainable and affordable energy is at the heart of this transformation, and the race for better batteries continues, fueling demand for greater storage capacity.
Solar & Storage Cape Town is a catalyst for innovation, excellence and collaboration. Our events open the door for our partners to reach hundreds of African utility companies, IPP policy makers, government entities, regulators, associations and major energy end users – something that is traditionally difficult for these individuals to reach.
Combining our history with our commitment to innovation, this event is your chance to showcase your brand, unlock new business opportunities, lead the growth of your business and become a driving force in South Africa’s energy transition.
Market analysis:
South Africa is located at the southern tip of the African continent, with an area of 1,227,200 square kilometers and a population of over 45 million. It is famous for its important shipping location and unique natural resources. South Africa is the most economically developed country in Africa, with its annual GDP accounting for 26% of Africa’s total and its annual foreign trade accounting for 24% of Africa’s total. Africa’s most advanced transportation, electricity, communications and other industrial infrastructure are all concentrated in South Africa.
Cape Town is the capital of South Africa and the economic centre of the Western Cape province. It has become the manufacturing hub of the entire region and has also become an export port for goods produced in the province’s interior. Cape Town’s economy is partly based on tourism, with tens of thousands of tourists visiting each year. As the capital of the Western Cape province and the seat of the South African Parliament, Cape Town also plays a role in increasing the country’s treasury revenue. Cape Town hosts many conferences each year, some of which are held at the Cape Town International Convention and Exhibition Centre, which was newly built in 2003. The city’s real estate and construction sectors are also currently experiencing a phase of rapid growth. Compared to other South African cities, Cape Town has a relatively high high school enrolment rate and excellent educational facilities, which also make Cape Town more competitive internationally.
The Western Cape’s total agricultural income accounts for a quarter of the country’s total, and its export trade accounts for more than half of the country’s total. At the same time, the Western Cape is also the most developed region in terms of tourism in South Africa. Tourism accounts for 9.8% of the province’s GDP and provides employment opportunities for 9.6% of the province’s residents. In 2002, more than one million foreign tourists visited Cape Town. The province is also the country’s energy development center due to the abundance of oil and natural gas in the Atlantic Ocean off its coast.
The South African government has actively adopted a national electricity-saving policy, and in order to encourage the South African public to purchase solar equipment, the South African National Power Company has also announced a preferential policy: when people purchase a solar water heating system, the subsidy provided by the South African National Power Company will be the purchase price of 20% of the cost of the equipment. South Africa plans to invest more than US$21.5 billion to become the world’s solar energy capital. To this end, the South African government plans to expand the new energy market based on solar energy and build a generation mechanism that makes full use of coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectric power to generate electricity. For the entire African continent, the annual investment in the electricity market is US$90 billion. By 2030, countries will invest up to US$563 billion in electricity infrastructure.
