Solar Energy Could Save SA Billions

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says South Africa could save up to R3.7 billion per year by changing completely to solar-powered energy-efficient light bulbs.
In its latest report, the UN agency, which assessed what gains could be achieved by 80 countries should they shift to solar-powered alternatives, argues that should South Africa change over, the country would be able to repay the conversion costs in nine months.
