"It is already cheaper than Eskom if you use it in the daytime. It's not just about trying to be green. It's really just cheaper, and it guarantees that you have power during the daytime," he said.

Jordaan said if big energy users took these solutions, he could see SA having"better times in six months"."But it [won't be] because of what the government does; it [will be] because of what the market is doing," he added.
