“In addition to offering renewable energy, Solairedirect ensures that its own processes are respectful to the environment as well as landscapes and communities concerned.”
By its very nature, solar power uses a universally accessible primary energy source: sunlight. Sunlight is a renewable energy source. The sun’s energy is captured and converted using simple, proven photovoltaic technologies that cause no danger to health, create no pollution and is 99% recyclable.
As a leader in driving down the cost of generation, Solairedirect is equally committed to progressively reducing the environmental footprint of every kWh of solar power it generates.
Solairedirect is progressively extending ISO 14001 environmental certification to all its design, construction and operating processes.
Solairedirect is a member of PV Cycle, a European federation of industrial companies committed to a voluntary program of recovering and recycling photovoltaic modules at the end of their useful life.
Solairedirect is building its own reputation as a responsible company on the basis of its social usefulness recognized by all project stakeholders.
By adopting the supply of universally-accessible solar electricity as its corporate mission, Solairedirect creates value for its shareholders whilst at the same time serving the public interest.
As a member of the UN Global Compact, Solairedirect is committed to respecting its 10 universal principles on human rights, labor conditions, the environment and combating corruption in all its strategies and activities.
Solairedirect applies the guidelines set out in the ISO 26000 standard in order to analyze, measure and report on the social impacts of its decisions, its business activities and its implementation of continous progress and improvement initiatives to ensure its own long-term future.
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that uses sunlight to create electricity. Solar has been widely regarded as ‘the energy source of the future’ for decades. Here in South Africa, common uses include using solar panels to power electronic road signs on highways, satellites, calculators and also heating up home swimming pools. But how does it work?
Solar cells, like you see on calculators, are called photovoltaic (PV) cells. As the name implies, photo meaning “light” and voltaic meaning “electricity”; PV cells convert sunlight directly into electricity.
