Amamojula we-solar athuthukile wefilimu emincane anikelwe ngabakwaFirst Solar.I-OMCO Solar, i-OEM yomphakathi kanye nesikali esisetshenziswayo se-solar tracker nezixazululo zamarakhi, ikhweze uhlu lwe-pantry.I-SMA America inikele nge-inverter ye-Sunny Tripower CORE1.
I-Pro Circuit Electrical Contracting ifake uhlu, yanikela ngawo wonke umsebenzi kagesi kanye nomsebenzi ojwayelekile.
“Kuyangimangaza ukusebenzisana kwezinkampani eziningi ezizinikele kulo msebenzi…Ngifuna ukubonga bonke abanikele, kanye nabantu abenze lokhu kwenzeke,” kusho u-Evan Kuster."Kube ukukhanya okuhle kithina sonke ukusiza omakhelwane bethu ngenkathi sisusa imithelela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu."
