We’re thrilled to announce the next Sun Exchange solar project crowdsale, set to go live Tuesday, 4 June, will be for Welverdiend Retirement Resort in Cape Town, South Africa. This 94.6kW project will reduce the costs of living for retired South Africans.
In the video below, Welverdiend residents share why going solar is important to them. One of the key reasons is that with today’s higher standards of living and longer life expectancy, retirement has become increasingly costly. There is also a strong sense of responsibility towards future generations.
Modeling climate leadership and innovation to our young people is more important now than ever. What better way to do so than to take part in solar powering a school? Check out our blog to read about the latest Sun Exchange crowd sale for a solar project that will solar power Protea Heights Academy in Cape Town, South Africa.

At the recent Sun Exchange Investor Showcase we had an inspiring conversation with a packed room of individuals passionate about energy transformation, eager to learn more about Sun Exchange. Given the energy crisis South Africa is facing, it’s quickly become glaringly clear that innovations like Sun Exchange are critical for sustainable economic growth and development.

It wasn’t long ago — in September 2018, in fact — that we announced the start of a 117.5 kW project at Sacred Heart College, in Johannesburg. This school is famous for the fact that it became multi-racial in 1976, in defiance of the Apartheid Government’s racist Bantu Education policies.
About two months after the project’s announcement, all 25,623 solar cells had been sold to Sun Exchange members, including new Sun Exchange members made up of supporters and parents from the school. Construction could begin and was completed within a record-breaking 4 weeks.
