At Solar & Storage Live Cape Town, Leigh-An Becker, Solareff's Regional Manager for the Western Cape, joined a panel of industry leaders to discuss the future of local solar manufacturing and supply chains during the session:
"Made in South Africa: Can designation, duties and industry collaboration rescue the local solar supply chain?"
The discussion highlighted the importance of creating an environment where local industry can compete, innovate, and grow, while ensuring the renewable energy sector continues to deliver value, investment, and jobs. Making ‘Made in South Africa’ the preferred choice takes shared commitment - from manufacturers, buyers and policymakers.
Thank you to the organisers and fellow panellists for an insightful discussion on one of the most important conversations shaping South Africa's energy future.
