Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa is travelling to China this week to meet some of the country's biggest solar equipment manufacturers to make it easier for SA to import panels.

Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa intends to ask the Chinese government to help ensure that solar-power installers secure reliable access to panels as demand for alternative sources of energy grows.
