About this project

Warrenton is situated in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, one of the sunniest places on Earth. A former diamond mining settlement, the adjacent Vaal River irrigates the town’s fertile soils which was used to grow vegetables to feed the diamond field workers.

Impact and benefits

This is the second Spar Supermarket branch to go solar through the Sun Exchange, cutting their energy bills, emissions and demonstrating sustainability to their community, shoppers, staff and other retailers alike.

Nearby to Warrenton are some of the world’s largest solar farms, powered by the incredibly high solar yields in the region, which you too can now take advantage of by owning and earning from solar cells installed into this project.
