A shopping centre in Durban, South Africa, is set to be the site of the largest solar-rooftop plant on the continent.

As reported by Property Wheel, Investec Property will launch the plant on top of its Cornubia Mall. On completion, it will have a DC capacity of 5.25 MWp and an AC capacity of 4.29 MW, ranking it among the 15 biggest rooftop-only PV plants worldwide.

The project, which will be installed by Terra Firma Solutions, forms part of Investec Property’s aim to adopt renewable and low-carbon emission technology across its real-estate assets.
