Sun Exchangean award-winning global solar micro-leasing marketplace, today announced it will solar power several Western Cape Education Department schools. The first school in the series will be Protea Heights Academy in Cape Town.

Sun Exchange enables schools and businesses to have solar power installed with no upfront or on-going operational costs.

With immediate savings on their energy bills from the first day the solar project is operational, schools can focus their resources on what they do best – education.  Not only does this help schools save money in the short term, it also provides schools with some immunity against future electricity tariff hikes from ESKOM.
